Within two months at Brookdale he had progressed from a wheelchair to a walker to no assistance needed.\n\nI have viewed workers helping patients/residents with walking in the hallways and am always impressed with how they lead.\n\nJust a wonderful place in my opinion","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Great place for Dad","reviewContent":"When the time came, we looked around for an ideal assisted living facility \n for Dad and selected Brookdale Des Plaines. We knew the Brookdale communities were highly rated and chose this one mainly for the location, spacious apartments and customized care plans. We were pleased to discover this facility offers much more mostly because of the wonderful people who work here. It is staffed with skilled professionals who truly care about the well-being of the residents. The nurses who look after Dad are amazing. The restaurant managers have worked with us to create an ideal meal plan that works for Dad. All the people employed here are friendly, responsible, respectful and kind. Upon entering the building you feel the positive vibe-lots of smiling faces and a happy atmosphere. It’s not an easy transition going from independence to an assisted living arrangement, but thanks to the people who manage the facility and work here, Dad assimilated well and quickly.

Brookdale had everything we were looking for to ensure Mom had a smooth transition to Senior Living.\nThe staff is phenomenal and met all of our needs. The amenities and daily programs offer something for everyone. The “New Resident” activities encourage independence and socialization. I know Mom is safe and sound even when I can’t be there. Additional services are available if the need ever arises. \nIt is conveniently located near downtown Des Plaines and major expressways.
