[Name Removed] from Brookdale at Hawthorn Lakes in Vernon Hills, IL is great and has gone above and beyond for us. If there is a Brookdale Salesperson of the year, we recommend her! We plan to move in soon and can't wait.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming to new residents. The staff quickly gets to know residents by name and even some of their likes/dislikes. Having the physicians (primary care, blood draws, nursing, podiatrist, dermatologist, dentist) that visit on site is a great help.

The average age of residents at Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes is higher than my parents expected. The Sales rep was very informative and followed up after move in to insure that the apartment was as promised. All of the staff have been very friendly. The maintenance staff are very helpful. Dining room has had some staffing issues, which have affected service on the weekends. I would recommend this community, but it's definitely for residents who are well advanced in age.

I think they need more staff at mealtimes, it takes a long time to get served. However I would recommend this community to other families - I love living here. The staff members are wonderful, and the location is great! Century Park is a great place to walk to !
