If you can get your parent in there and can afford it, do it. When my mom passed they did everything the could to make that time easier on her and the family Large room sizes, the food is adequate but they have a variety. What was most important my mom felt well taken care of. The community was nice outside, and there is a courtyard for the residents to spend time outdoors. I definitely recommend this community.

This facility was a very nice, clean facility with many activities for seniors to do. The caretakers were very accommodating and friendly, and seemed to have a lot of experience with assisting the residents. The rooms are spacious, and the food is pretty good as well! Like most facilities, they could always use more caretakers and less administrators. They do provide doctors, dentists, that will come to the facility if you are unable to take your family member out.

We dropped in, unannounced, to visit a friend who recently moved into Northbrook Inn and were delighted to see the beautifully appointed decor, our friend's large room with great natural light, and the homey friendly surroundings. Our friend reported enjoying an in-house operatic performance given by music students from Northwestern a few days prior. And the staff person who greeted us shared details of recent conversations she had had with our friend. When my time comes, I hope there's an opening at the Northbrook Inn for me!

July 27, 2017Thank you for spending a moment writing and reserving a room with Northbrook Inn Memory Care Community. We love that you were impressed and dropped in unannounced! I will pass along your review to our Director of Activities since the performance was that memorable. We couldn’t agree more that the interior is delightful and full of Chicago history. If we can serve you in any way, we would be grateful if you would call Karolee our Executive Director.
The rooms at this community are not as nice as the entrance to this community. The staff I met seemed nice and they say they do encourage the residents to be social and not spend a lot of time in their rooms. They seem to offer a lot of nice amenities. I would recommend that if you look at this community you go at a meal time. Make sure to ask about the activities offered to see if they would be something your loved one might be interested in.

My mom was placed at Northbrook Inn due to her valcility not being opened on schedule in Bloomingdale. This home is identical to Lakeview where mom is a resident now. Everyone including maintenance were more then helpful and kind. My mom was well taken care of. If I had anything negative it would be that mom said she would like to have more of a choice of food selection.

Your input is valuable, and we will work towards providing a wider selection of options at each meal time.

This is a wonderful community, and my wife is doing very well with her move to this community. She is safe, and receiving great care. The staff is wonderful, they have been attentive, and helpful. The activities director is amazing, she is very upbeat. She is great at what she does. This a brand new community so everything is very well maintained. She is eating well, and has even put on some weight. I like the fact that the whole building is memory care. I'am paying less than the other community she was at. This is a wonderful, secure community, and I would highly recommend it.
