Brookdale Glen Ellyn

I picked this community, because it was overall what I was looking for. They offer activites and they have friendly people.

All the staff were caring and professional. As my mother's needs increased Brookdale was able to increase services to meet her needs.

We arrived here a week and a half ago. We have been very pleased with the experience, community, and friendliness of the staff and residents. The food has been very good. Overall the experience has been very pleasing for us. There is breakfast and dinner provided and there are choices to choose from.

I have resided in independent living at Brookdale, Glen Ellyn since [date removed] It has been a wonderful experience. I am particularly impressed by the staff, all of whom take an active interest in the well-being of us residents. The dinners are very good, with three choices of entrees for every dinner. There are daily "Be Fit" exercise classes, with exercises carefully chosen to be suitable for residents with varying mobility and flexibility. A fitness club is also available, with machines that can be adapted to a wide range of abilities. There is frequent entertainment, and many activities available. On the whole, the residents are friendly, and many join in groups playing games such as Bridge or Rummikub. Overall, I highly recommend Brookdale Glen Ellyn, without reservation.

One of the perks is the location of the community. It is close for walking to storage and restaurants. The personnel is great. The residents that aren't able to walk, they can still get to the stores as they are close by. I've not been disappointed in anything since I moved here. There are two meals a day provided and there are choices to choose from.

The food is really good. They have good choices, and different ways that they make chicken. They make you feel welcomed in the dining room area. They have a lot of good activites, such as Bingo, Poker Night, and church services. Also, they have a hair salon, library, and a full-time nurse. They have transportation to take you to the doctor and shopping. I would recommend to other families.

This sincerely committed team of healthcare professionals goes way above and beyond the necessary to help residents know they are are being served by a community who cares-- that they are heard and respected. Nursing, PT, dining, activities, hospitality, housekeeping, transportation... all services are fulfilled by people who treat our loved ones like caring family. It might sound canned, or trite-- but it is true. Brookdale Glen Ellyn holds a special place in the hearts of loved ones of the residents there because they earn it day in and day out.

The activities seem to be great, but my loved ones have not participated yet. Brookdale have gone above and beyond, to provide a smooth transition going from a home environment, to an independent living situation. Everyone has been truly engaged. The dining room is spotless, and smells fresh. The residents come from families, where people care about the well-being of their loved ones. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They want my loved ones to be happy. All of the employees, are proud to be apart of an organization.

We moved into Brookdale on [Date removed]. We have been impressed with the friendly, helpful atmosphere here, from both the staff and the residents. Our apartment is beginning to feel like home. And we are getting to know people on a first name basis. Everyone tells us that they like it here and know that we will too. We have gotten involved in Be-Fit and water aerobics classes and have gone on some of the tours and trips that were offered, and we have found them to be fun, educational, and interesting. We have really enjoyed the entertainment that comes to Brookdale as well. We are sharing our travels with a slide show presentation once a month or so, and people have enjoyed coming to that. The food is great. The building is clean and attractive. And we have brought friends here to see it. We like being close to our church and old friends and back in Glen Ellyn. We are very happy with our decision to move to Brookdale Glen Ellyn.

The cleanliness of Brookdale is excellent and the staff members are wonderful. Everyone here is always very friendly and interacting with one another. They have a ton of different activities here internally and externally. We have a gorgeous courtyard that we use for picnics, programs and different entertainers. The PT program here is excellent - they have a Be Fit program I take advantage of everyday and we have a top notch fitness gym. We thoroughly enjoy being apart of this community we are very proud to be here. We would absolutely recommend them to other families.

My loved ones love the community and are super happy here. They love the food, activities, and their view here. My loved ones were able to make friends quickly. There are lots of a la carte pricing if your loved ones would need additional assistance or care.

I've only been here a year, my spouse passed after only being here for a month. Brookdale understands me; my husband had stage 4 cancer and his doctor gave him up. We had to sell our house and find somewhere to go. I'm appreciative that Brookdale accepted him in that state. We had wonderful hospice care, they handed it very well. Because of that, I've haven't met many residents, but I'm involved in a lot of organizations in the town of Glen Ellyn. I've been attending the trips, but I haven't quite jumped in all the way so I don't know everyone's name just yet. The food is very good and I really like my apartment. It's a spacious 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom with a living area, kitchenette, giant windows with a lot of natural light, and I have an outside deck - I can't ask for more! I go on, and participate in as many activities as I can. I suggest activities to [name removed], our program director. She takes my suggestions and we've been able to visit art exhibits, art installations, etc., while still being mindful of those who are in walkers or with lesser mobility. I would recommend Brookdale, and I just had a couple from my church move in. They gave me a big award, took my picture, gave me a bouquet of flowers, and a referral bonus which will be deducted from one month of rent!

This is a very appealing community with good staff and in a great condition. This is just a good place for you or your loved one. The tour was good and I liked the lady that I was working with and helped me with everything that I needed while I did the necessary leg work.

Brookdale Glen has been a really good experience so far. There is always room for improvement when it comes to the meals and dining service, but when we speak with her she really seems to be enjoying it. Our loved one is enjoying the exercise classes and we never thought she would get herself involved in those. She is really loving her studio apartment.

They have a lot of activities for the residents to do. The food is really good. This is a really good place to live
