  • Finding a new home for our beloved uncle post-stroke

    When our uncle who without children & never-married, had a stroke, my siblings & I needed to find an assisted living facility for him. None of us had experience with researching these types of facilities nor did we know what to look for or what kind of questions to ask. After seeing a handful of establishments, we were felling incredibly discouraged by the cost, poor conditions, and lack of staff support. Thankfully we met with Brookdale Des Plaines. We had an overwhelmingly warm feeling when we walked through the front doors, it was like entering a high-end hotel. Not wanting to get our hopes up, we knew that the facility needed to meet all of our uncle's needs, medically, that staff had to be qualified & supportive and the entire facility had to be CLEAN, free of any foul odors, outdated furnishings or filth. I am very happy to share that all of our expectations have been met & exceeded at Brookdale Des Plaines. I credit the staff for making this facility a home for our uncle.

  • Our experience

    From the moment I walked into Brookdale with my father, I knew it was the place for him. It was like walking into a five star hotel lobby. It was all there on the first floor (dining room / big lobby with seating / off on another wing was a small restaurant for snacks / a hair salon / small room for private dining with family / off another wing was areas for get-together functions). The place is spotless. Now for the services that are offered to my father are priceless. If he needed anything, Brookdale was there to help him. If he fell, Brookdale was there to assist him and any further actions needed as his days come to an end. Brookdale is a true senior living place for anyone thinking of putting their parent or parents into. It has everything your parents need and more.

  • Lovely place to live. Fantastic staff!

    I looked at many retirement communities when my parents’ house became too much for them to handle and I am so glad we decided on Brookdale Des Plaines. They have lived here for 3 years now, and we could not be happier. Their apartment is beautiful and airy. The activities and exercise classes are challenging, engaging and fun. But most of all, we cannot rave enough about the wonderful staff. They are always so friendly, attentive, and caring. They treat everyone with respect, compassion, and levity. You can tell when people love what they do, and it shows here. I would recommend Brookdale Des Plaines to anyone who is looking for a warm and inviting place for their loved ones.
