Brookdale Lake View

My loved one was previously a resident at Brookdale Lake View and the overall experience was great for her at this facility. The friendliness and the staff are great. The cleanliness, care services and value for cost are good. The meals and the activities are both great, also! Based on our experience, I would recommend Brookdale Lake View to others.

I have lived at Brookdale Lakeview for just over a year and my experience has been largely positive. The residents and staff have been friendly and helpful. The activities have been interesting, entertaining, and helpful. I have benefited from the exercise l participated in. The information seminars have have been educational. The meals have been for the most part very good. I have gained weight, mainly because l eat too much ice cream. In some cases the service has been in need of improvement, especially at breakfast.

The staff are wonderful, they are always very helpful and going the extra mile to help you. The location is accessible to all parts of Chicago, including Michigan avenue, the lake, parks. I love living here.

I have lived here for 20 years! The staff are very friendly and very accommodating. The food is excellent and the chefs do a great job creating new meals. The activities and good and they try to reach people of all abilities.

The people that work here are great because they are always very helpful. The community is always clean and there is an ease of having everything you need. The view from my apartment overlooks Lake Michigan which I love.

So far it's been a really good experience, and yes I have recommended to others.

Sent here [date removed] by family and friends and my doctor prior to 87th birthday and after an illness that left me as diagnosed severely malnourished and an auto accident that I barely escaped injury. In essence was lucky to be alive. The positive vibe of this new home brought me out of depression. Started to eat better with new friends who invited me to sit with them and began to gain back the weight I had lost. I found the nice long halls great for indoor walking and worked to get my step count back to 5000 a day preparing for outdoors in warmer weather.

Everyone is very friendly, especially the staff. Food is excellent, always very plentiful and very delicious. The housekeeping does a good job as well. My room meets all my needs and I enjoy the location being close to the lake.

I am pleased with living here. People pay attention to things I think, need, and do. Dining services are very good. The responsiveness of the managers is extremely well. They are timely and efficient.

The staff are all very kind and helpful. Anytime I have a problem or question they will do everything they can to assist me. I enjoy the activities and the variety of outings we go on each month. The dining services offer a variety of food options and the food is always very good.

Everyone is super friendly. I enjoy the activities like bingo and going on outings. The food is very good, there is a lot of variety. I can let the chefs know certain foods I would enjoy like Cuban sandwiches or shish-kabobs and they will add to the menu!

I found friends at Brookdale lake view that have similar interests as me. I like that Brookdale gives me a sense of independence and I can come go and go as a please. But if I ever needed anything they are always there when I need them.

Entire community is responsive, kind, helpful and friendly. Variety of foods that meet dietary needs. Maintenance staff is responsive and quicks any issues. Brookdale at home is able to meet specific individual needs. Leadership team that addresses challenging issues and keeps residents informed.

Overall a great experience at a reasonable cost. Location is excellent. Some improvements needed in break fast menu and services. Really excellent laundry service and housekeeping. Friendly staff & family environment.

Warm, friendly, and welcoming place to recover from the hospital and chemotherapy. Staff is very helpful . There are interesting programs and movies running every evening. There is also reliable connection to the internet.

Brookdale Lakeview has a full array of services and activities available to its residents under one roof, for which I’m grateful, but the thing that impressed me the most when I moved in (and still does to this day) is the friendly atmosphere. Both staff members and fellow residents have been caring and kind to me during my years here, making this a place I’m happy to call home.

The entire staff at Brookdale Lake View has been there for me from my move- in day to today. I love their quick response in taking care of maintenance issues in my apartment, and being open to suggestions for resident activities and outings. The location in Chicago is perfect if you enjoy Lake Michigan, access to public transportation, and a neighborhood that is very walkable.

I moved into Brookdale towards the end of the covid pandemic when we were in lockdown. Brookdale did much to keep us engaged and when it was finally over they have continued to do so. I have security here. There is always help if I need it. There are a variety of activities in which we may participate. I can be as busy as I want to be. If I don’t want to be that’s okay also. The food is quite good. The place is well cared for. I am very happy I made the decision to live here

Brookdale Lake View is near my daughter and son-in-law who visit when they can. Food is more than adequate. I have met other residents through lunch and made friends with people here. I feel safe and secure at Brookdale Lake View and the staff tries to accommodate all needs.

I thought this was going to be a bunch of old people sitting around, not talking and thought it would look and smell like an old person’s home. To my pleasant surprise it is a lively community filled with active residents with lives of their own.
