Review for Brookdale Lake View

The food was excellent, prepared by a chef. The only drawback was occasional long waits for the elevator. It's unfortunate this location is closing, but they are assisting residents with relocation. Recently moved to [community removed], and so far things are going well.

Brookdale Lake View

My problem is lack of information. The first we heard about the potential sale of Lakeview was in mid-June when I visited & met with the Executive Director to seek information about how my loved one was doing there. It is going well from Lakeview's point of view). That's when I was told that Brookdale had put Lakeview up for sale at the end of 2024.

Review for Brookdale Lake View

Would highly recommend Brookdale! We were impressed with the professional, warm welcome upon our arrival at Brookdale.

The diversity of activities is broad enough to look forward to having interesting choices that are stimulating and

[name removed] is receiving good care. There were some transition problems, with incomplete information about utilities (e.g. WiFi & TV). Now that those have been resolved, I am grateful to have my brother there. Very helpful staff.

A nice place to live

Employees of Lake View are great - friendly, hard workers. Nice clean apartment with a view of Lake Michigan. Chef prepared meals with a variety of choices. Met some nice people. There is a garage for my car ($[removed] per month fee). Weekly local and downtown transportation included with no additional fee. A Number of field trips offered each month. Many daily activities if you're interested. Only negative is that sometimes you have to wait a while for an elevator.
