Brookdale Memorial City

It's a tad bit boring here.

Our family had an in person tour with Brookdale and we absolutely loved everything about it. The staff were phenomenal and so lovely to speak with and the food was just exquisite. However at the time we needed our loved one to be in a place where they could get adequate care and unfortunately this was not the place

The staff at Brookdale Memorial City have been very easy to work with.

This Brookdale we marked off of our list pretty quickly. The building itself is a lot older and with how much my loved one likes to walk it just did not feel as secure. It is the cheapest we looked at, it seems government assisted as far as the clientele. The property is large and repetitive and my loved one has a little bit of memory loss so we felt the model would be too confused for her. The apartments also did not have washers and dryers inside of the unit, at least the one that we saw.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The cost for the value and what we are getting and the community overall is very clean is great to know about. The staff are very friendly. They are easy to get ahold of if we have questions or concerns about our loved one. The food is good; however, it is the same options every week. It would be nice to have more variety of food for the residents. There are three meals severed a day. Exercise, art, games, happy hour parties, and more are some of the activities for the residents to participate in. I am very happy with the community and love that my loved one is loving their experience here.

The units and the lay out was a lot like the community that I went with. I was just not as comfortable at this community when I went through.

This is a good place to live at for senior living and people that need more assistance. Everyone here needs some sort of assistance getting around. It is nice, the food is not the greatest. The advertisement is kind of false. It states that the meals are included but on the weekend there are only 2 meals the other residents are a little older so its hard for me to find things in common . I plan to move soon.

There are a lot of activities at this community and they bring the people together. The food is great and everyone is very friendly. We really like it here at this community. They have activities like work out classes, painting, sewing, water aerobics, movies, line dancing and more for the residents to do to stay busy. They also have puzzles for your brain called flex your brain and more.

So far things have been great at this community. I would say to check it out it has been a really good place for my loved one.

This community is very clean, the staff are super friendly and just overall excellent. The food is basically good, every once in awhile it is just not quite right and not always something that I am used to but it is hard to please everyone. Overall they do a good job, and there are plenty of activities here for the residents who want to participate in them

Even though our stay was short and we weren't able to take advantage of a lot of the things offered, this was a great community for us. There are a lot of meal choices for the residents to choose from. I wish this was closer to where my loved one is now.

Due to the covid restrictions and the time our loved one moved in she has not really been able to experience the dining service and really the activities. However the value for cost is about average and the staff members have continued to be very friendly and welcoming.

I spoke to [name removed]. $1,870 per month for a one bedroom. Includes three meals, 7 days a week. Cleaning and sheets once a week. They offer add-on services. IE companion car for $11 an hour. They will introduce her to others the day she moves in. Opportunity for socialization. I visited [date removed]. The place is older, not fancy, but nice. Residents are 62 and older. Nice dining room, free seating and lots to do. Free shuttle services to grocery store, mall, etc. Small store on site. $2,500 buy in which transfers to all Brookdale Communities. This facility is IL only but there are other communities around with a higher level of support.

At first I thought this property is too big but after visiting I like how they have it split in half. I liked the floor plan and the price is just what I need minus not providing cable and internet. Now being hopeful.

Our family was able to do an in person tour experience and the tour was good, but we just felt the community was a little to crowded and wasn't going to be that perfect fit for our loved one

The community is very neat and clean and the management lives on site. Everyone here has been very friendly and nice. The staff is very good and do a great job. I would recommend this community to others

Brookdale has a lot of of activities and a lot of stuff to do. Brookdale really does try hard to take care the residents. We chose this community because location, price was good, and we needed quick availability, We were pretty pleased with what they offer. They are friendly and warm.

This is really an independent living community only. The apartments are well kept up, clean, and spacious. The people who live there have really developed a community feel. The staff are good at reaching out. The have a newcomers luncheon for the first eight weeks. We are so lucky that she lives there. We looked at many other places, and this one is just fantastic.

I like that it is a part of a larger system so if he needed more care he could receive it and would be given priority.

I am completely satisfied with my move to Brookdale. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The residents all seem happy and well adjusted. The dining facilities are clean and the food is well prepared. There are plenty of activities available if you want to participate, but no one forces you to do anything. There seems to be plenty of services available for health and wellness. I have no need for any of them, but it is reassuring to know that they are available if needed.
