I toured Brookdale Oak Park. They had an in-house chef. They were very friendly. It just didn't impress me as much as the other place I went to. They gave me homemade truffles to take home. They had a lot of resident led activities. They had quite a few activities and stuff to keep them busy. The rooms, for the price level, were a lot smaller than I would anticipate.

The woman who showed us around Brookdale Oak Park was very friendly. It's very good seeing how she interacted with the other people living there and the other employees. They have a good working relationship and good friendship there. I also like how nice and clean and well put together the building was as well. I also like how convenient it was. It was right next to the stores and the gas station. Overall, it's a very nice place and has a very nice view from the upper floors.
The staff members I interacted with were all very friendly and very willing to work. I only got to look at some of the menus and the dining setup. They showed me a one-bedroom and a studio and they were clean. I feel like they put a lot of thought into older people, especially ones that are in wheelchairs, and lower countertops, and it's easy to reach things. It was very well put together.

Brookdale Oak Park is a beautiful facility. They seemed to have a really good staff. They have a lot of extra available services and activities for seniors. They have a beautiful rooftop deck for seniors and they also have nice one-bedroom units. They seemed to have a nice menu selection and particularly, a fair amount of fish as an option, which is important for my mother who likes fish a lot. It's gorgeous and has Prairie Frank Lloyd Wright's style decor.

I toured Brookdale Oak Park and it looked like a really nice community. The staff was very nice and helpful. We were able to look at some amenities that they have at the place like a really nice library, a little gardening area, a very nice deck, and a shared dining room.
I did go to one of the rooms. There were real spacious and nice. I went to a 1-bedroom and it was like a 1-bedroom apartment. I would say that the shared dining room and the shared patio were really beautiful.
Their community has decided to get Covid vaccine a 100%, so they're probably going to be starting group stuff and social things pretty soon. So that's exciting.

I moved both my parents into assisted living in 2016 after visiting many facilities. First off, it's clean and well kept. Beautiful interior, and my parents apartment is bright thanks to floor to ceiling windows by their dining table (facing west). The staff is very helpful and attentive. There are many great events, activities to participate in. The location is central to many businesses within walking distance. I also walk with my Mom to the park a block away when the weather permits. It's been a wonderful place for my parents, an now just my Mom since my Dad has passed. I highly recommend Brookdale Oak Park.

To sum our experience briefly, we were in a very difficult situation in needing to move my mother rather quickly, and from the first moment we walked into Brookdale and met Patrick, to today, 2 months later, everything from the staff, room quality, residents, etc.. has been truly amazing. I can tell you how impressed all of my extended family is and how happy my mom is there. There is zero percent doubt on the choice we made.

I am so grateful my mom Is at Brookdale because I know she is getting excellent care. The staff is caring and professional.
While my mom doesn’t partake in many activities she enjoys them when she does
They throw occasional parties which everyone seems to love.

I'm at Brookdale Oak Park. My room is nice and comfortable, but it doesn't have a roll-in shower. The food is average. They have two dining areas: a general dining area on the top floor with a nice view of the surrounding community, and a small dining room on the third floor for assisted living folks. The staff is very nice and competent. They have a library, outings, speakers, and games they play with the residents.

I like the fact that Brookdale Oak Park doesn’t feel very clinical. It’s very clean and very pretty. When we first walked in, the staff greeted us, and they were extremely lovely. They went and got the person that we were meeting. Laura -- one of the directors -- took us on a tour. She was exceptionally patient with my dad who was a little bit hard in hearing. She was very nice with him as well as with us. They were very forthcoming, very informative, and very hospitable. It was really a nice facility. I was impressed.
They were having a little symposium on Shakespeare which was nice so a little movie and a special luncheon. Their food was very good, and the upstairs restaurant had a spectacular view. They have a crafts room and a lounge room where they have board games and card games. They do movie nights and social hours. They have Monday Manhattan nights. They do a lot of things, being a smaller facility. Every time somebody leaves, they redo the whole unit. They put in new carpet, they repaint, and they clean, and the rooms are very spacious. I think they do a nice job there.

Formerly known as 'Holly Court,' this active residential facility is one of the finest I've ever encountered (and I've been through many as a pastoral care provider). The family-like spirit of the place is exceptional, and residents like my parents are offered a healthy diet and active array of programs, all within walking distance of the Green Line and in the beautiful historic city of Oak Park.

Brookdale is my mother's extended family. A wonderful home where she feels welcomed and loved. The staff is the perfect blend of professional and caring. She finds intellectual, social and creative outlets available there. Her apartment is beautiful, and she is able to get assistance with whatever is necessary. I love how I feel a family at Brookdale as well. The convenience of it being in the heart of Oak Park makes visiting easy and often. I can't begin to describe how happy my mother is to have found Brookdale and make it her home.

My mother has lived at Brookdale Plaza Oak Park for nearly 6 years now, and for that same amount of time we have had one complaint and that is of housekeeping. Her apartment is truly filthy. I have literally found fecal matter present on her bathroom door. I have complaint continuously to the director of the center, and to the head of housekeeping both are always apologetic. Someone from housekeeping is sent to the apartment to give it a good cleaning, but then that is it. The sizable rent paid for an apartment includes housekeeping service. While someone does come to "clean" the apartment bi-monthly, my mother's apartment is always filthy. I have even gone as far as filing a formal complaint with Brookdale's headquarter but never has anyone responded. When I come to the USA to visit, I have taken it upon myself to thoroughly clean my mother's apartment. I try to do damage control by meeting with both the director and the head of housekeeping, and all I am ever offered is endless empty promises. This is a fact because ever year upon my visit I have the same conversation with them. If I thought I could move my mother to another living center I would, but at 92 years old such a thing could kill her. In short, the Director of this Brookdale living center has no follow through and does not uphold the mission statement set forth by the agency. I sincerely discourage anyone considering to move there.

Brookdale Plaza Oak Park is a definitely a clean facility. The people that we’ve dealt with were all good and knowledgeable. The unit that we saw is a one-bedroom, and it has a nice kitchen. It looks nice and bright.

I was impressed with Brookdale Plaza, I liked the place. I thought it was a little expensive but I spoke with residents and they liked the food and they were happy. The physical plan was very nice, it was nicely decorated and the rooms were very nice. I liked mostly everything about it. I came into contact with three people at the most and they were helpful and informative.
