Nursing Homes in Northbrook, Illinois

Visitor

I visited Brookdale Northbrook for my father-in-law. It had a nice look to it and was open, updated, and a good size. I saw a nice room and I did think it was nice. It seemed like they had a full range of services. The woman that I met was very nice and very helpful and showed me the rooms where the activities take place. There were group discussions and a room for playing cards. They do have a number of residents in the independent living.

We really liked Brookdale Northbrook because my parents could stay together. They have the swing units close to the assisted living so they could stay together in independent and if my dad would need assistance, they could switch that unit to assisted and they could just stay where they were. We liked that setup a lot. What we did not like was their residents were 70% of Jewish faith and my parents are Christians, so they did not feel like they would be comfortable and wanted a more Christian community. The dining room setup was very nice.

If you have a loved one who is searching for a retirement community in the Chicagoland area, this is certainly one of the best. The facility is upscale, and the monthly rates reflect this. The facility is stylish and chic, and if you didn’t know it—you would never guess it is a senior community. Residents can cook in their apartments, but also have access to 3 different onsite dining options—a café, casual dining, and fine dining. Many of the daily activities and social gatherings are held in the formal lounges, even the movie theater has comfy seating. Minimal decline and assistance with ADLs can be addressed, but this is an active and youthful senior community.
