Lovely facility and community

My parents have been living in Brookdale for 4 months.

The facilities and community have exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with the staff, accommodations, location and

He's happy, I'm happy!

My dad was reluctant to move to independent living but once he got there, he loved it! His apartment at Brookdale Oak Park is spacious with floor to ceiling windows in the living room. He has a north eastern view & can see downtown Chicago. The 2 meals a day are perfect for him. Breakfast is casual (seat yourself) & dinner is a seated affair with [name removed], the kindest host! The location can't be beat: downtown Oak Park has plenty of restaurants & a Trader Joe's next door. A Barnes & Noble bookstore, too! From

My daughter and I visited Brookdale Oak Park. Rep is very knowledgeable of the facility and what it has to offer. It is very clean and well-managed. A few residents also stopped us and told us what a great job they do there. Rep also invited us back any time we want, and answered all our questions.
