Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Downers Grove, IL
Brookdale Des Plaines
4.9

My father lived here for 2 years and I he was very happy at Brookdale Des Plaines. The staff was always helpful and would notify me if there were any concerns regarding my father. We chose Brookdale Des Plaines because it is a large facility and is located in the downtown area of Des Plaines - Which has a lot of stores and restaurants within 1 mile radius. There are lot of amenities that include a living room, dining room, activity room (pool table), library, fitness/therapy center, salon, outdoor patio, live entertainment, etc. They offer a bus that can take residents on field trips/shopping. My dad loved that he was able to socialize with other residents and staff members. I really like everything that Brookdale Des Plaines offers and I recommend it for anyone looking for a place for independent/assisted living.

I have lived at Brookdale Lisle for the 12 years. I have multiple sclerosis and have flourished here. My familiy and I agree this was a wonderful decision to live here.

Oak Trace a CCRC in Downers Grove, IL

They're short of help, all the way around. That's the main challenge. Sometimes it's hard to find a nurse on the nursing floor. But I really like the assisted living building. They're very good with their activities and keeping their people up to date on things. I had one relative move to the wellness center from assisted living, and I would not do that if you can avoid it. They don't have the activities, and they're kind of isolated in wellness.
