My friend moved into Brookdale Vernon Hills. It was lovely, and the sales person was great. He couldnt have been nicer. He came on a Sunday to accommodate us, and bring some other people through. My friend could not be happier. He got a 1-bedroom right across the elevator, and hes doing fine. He loves the food, the interaction with the people who are there, and its all good. He couldnt be happier with the staff, if he needs something, he pushes a button, and theyre there.

We had a good experience at Brookdale Vernon Hills. We saw a 1- and 2-bedroom and the amenities like the dining room, rainforest, and swimming pool. They offer movies and trips. The 1-bedroom was too small and claustrophobic, but the 2-bedroom was rather nice and had nice closet space, and even the smaller bedroom had enough room, and you can put in a bed and a desk. It had a bathroom, a walk-in shower, a kitchen with a dishwasher, and range. The place was very modern, but I didn't get a feeling of it being very cozy because it seemed more like a hotel. They play mahjong, and they showed us the art room, which was very good, and they said there's a gentleman who comes in once a week to teach Spanish. The staff member who helped us answered all our questions.

I have seen Brookdale Vernon Hills, and I liked it very much because it had a swimming pool, and the forest that they put in was a nice concept. It was a nice atmosphere. The rooms were nice as well; I liked them very much. The only thing that I am missing is the washer and dryer. It does not have that in the rooms; they have them on the floor, but they don’t have them in the rooms. I was very impressed.

Everybody was unbelievable ,wonderful, and kind at Brookdale. They have a swimming pool, and they do have exercise equipment. There's a chapel and a rain forest, which is very interesting and very tropical.

Brookdale Vernon Hills was gorgeous but very formal. And it seemed cold and too rigid to us. Otherwise, it was fine. I liked the grounds more. They had more walking paths and grounds. If they like the more formal type of living, of course, I would recommend. That was the only thing I had against it. The food was good.

Brookdale Vernon Hills was a wonderful place. The setting itself was just gorgeous. The full-grown trees in the pool area were just great, and the food service was wonderful. The staff was attentive. It's secure, clean, and very homey. They had entertainment for the residents and tons of things to do.

We would never have agreed to move my mother into Brookdale Vernon Hills if we didn't think it was right for her. They have various, multiple activities every day including some of the routine ones and, of course, there's always bingo. They have a number of movies, performances, and lectures. The food is good; she likes it. I've tried it myself and for what it is, it's very good. They have a larger dining room and a smaller one for the assisted living people. They could choose whether they want to eat in the larger one or the smaller, more intimate, less noisy one.

My parents are in Brookdale Vernon Hills (Formerly The Park at Vernon Hills). It's very good, the environment is beautiful, and the service seems to be very caring. The apartments are lovely. They offer a variety of things like exercise classes and movies. The dining room is lovely, and the food is good. The public spaces are beautiful.

Brookdale was very nice and expensive. Mom only lived there for a year, and the apartments were gorgeous. They had like a rainforest in the middle of it, and she looked out over the rainforest. The dining and the food were very nice. They had things for the residents; they do little parties and bingo. They did have a swimming pool and waterfall in the middle of the rainforest. It was just too expensive.

We visited Brookdale in Vernon Hills, and they were fine. The staff seems to be friendly. It was clean, but I wouldn't say it was spacious. They do some recreational activities, like I know they have the residents playing cards, exercising, having social events, and going on trips.

Right now my mom is at a Brookdale facility in Vernon Hills. We are trying that out, and she seems to like it. It is pretty independent. She has been there for about six months, and we are seeing that she enjoys it. She likes being around the people and the activities. She's getting more and more acclimated. She's at The Park in Vernon Hills, which is now Brookdale Vernon Hills, and she seems very happy there. She doesn't require a lot. She is very simple, and she is very satisfied with everything, and we are too. It's just nice for her. They come and clean her room once a week. The common areas seem to be nicely maintained. There are some common areas, like the bathroom on the first floor, that look like they could be updated for the next couple of years, but I think for the most part when you walk in the staff is very friendly, the downstairs is inviting, and it's got a nice vibes to it. They seem to take very good care of it. The hallways and all that stuff are clean. I really don't have too many complaints.

The Park was an okay facility. We knew a couple of couples that were there and they liked it. The rooms are nice, but they were just a little small.
