The management and staff are great. They are very kind and understanding. I'm new and didn't know what to expect in an assisted living facility, but everyone here made me feel welcomed. Very nice apartment and the dining is great.

Brookdale Lake View is a friendly senior residence community located alongside Chicago’s beautiful lakefront. Its staff is both competent and cooperative. The dining experience is exceptional and an abundance of user – friendly activities are provided to fill your day. I would recommend Brookdale Lake View without reservation.

Brookdale provides a nurturing environment to heal - the Assisted Living staff is available 24-7. For example, I came in a wheelchair and I fell my first week at Brookdale and someone was there to help me, they provided all the essentials - medicine, food and checking my current health status. Routinely providing blood pressure, and provided transportation resources so I can go to Shirley Ryan for physical therapy and hospital visits. The nurse, Olan, always confirmed my doctor appointments and made sure I had car fare. The Brookdale staff always encouraged me throughout my recovery and as I made more physical progress I began taking the CTA 151 just outside of the community to get to physical therapy downtown. I have gained confidence and independence enough to leave Assisted Living and move to a Independence living apartment.

A NOTE OF RECOGNITION and APPRECIATION It is now five days after the roll out of Brookdale Vaccination Project. A sense of well-being permeates our community. This no doubt is a result of the vaccine I want to take time to pay tribute to the Brookdale team that performed like the all-stars that they are; it was as if they were on a field of play, each in his or her position carrying out the task at hand! What was most amazing was we were treated as if we were precious cargo, and the sign read Handle with care and in some cases the sign read Fragile and we were treated as such. The MVP trophy does not go to an individual but to the entire team, it does not sit on a mantel! It arks over the Brookdale Lake View community, fueled by the uniqueness by each team member: a perpetual rainbow.

Fair warning. I moved here from Florida, which qualifies me as quite mad. But I got the last laugh. The warmth of the reception I received more than made up for the freezing temperatures. I frequently tell the people at Citibank, There is no such thing as Customer Serrvice at Citibank. They should study Brookdale Lakeview. From my first inquiries to my last 7 months living here, the staff here could not possibly be more warm, friendly and helpful. That warmth is exponentially more meaningful during Life in the Time of Covid. I have told the executive director, whose name shall remain David, that the helpfulness of his staff is eloquent testimony to his skill as a leader. I picked this place sight unseen. I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions.

I came to Brookdale Lake View expecting to have a short stay. Due to the corona virus I decided to remain. I was expecting bad food and an indifferent staff. What a surprise! A lot of it comes from the top down David Chamberlain, Executive Director, is always out and about helping with anything that is needed. I believe he is also watching how the workers react with the residents. I have never been in any other facility where the workers are so patient and caring Some residents have physical disabilities and at first i would try to help them. Other residents would tell me to step back because the policy at Brookdale Lake View is to encourage people to do as much as they can do themselves. The goal is to have residents be as independent as possible. That made a lot of sense to me.The food at Brookdale Lake View is very good considering how many meals have to be served at the same time. Brookdale Lake View holds frequent meetings where residents are able to give feedback about the food and can make suggestions to the dining staff. I had a hard time believing that changes would happen until I began to see improvement reflecting the feedback from the meetings.We meet in a dining room that has a view to a patio garden. One day the chef went into the garden in his white coat and tall hat and started to pick leaves. Later I found out the they had an herb garden that the chef uses in the daily cuisine.Caring staff, good food and many fun activities in normal times make Brookdale Lake View Senior facility a good place to live. I would highly recommend it.

My mom lived at Brookdale for 10 years in the Independent Living section and was very happy with every aspect of her life there. The entire staff is amazing: Administrators, Dining staff, Housekeeping staff, Building maintenance. The physical therapy office has a wonderful staff also--they worked with my mom often and really helped her. Mom made several friends at Brookdale too and enjoyed dining with them in either the large dining room or the the smaller dining room. Mom also loved going to exercise class, art class, movie night, and regular live music concerts in the Sheridan Room or in the lobby. The public spaces are all nicely decorated and friendly, with plenty of free coffee, tea, and ice water available. I recommend the Brookdale Lake View to everyone, especially if you like the park or the lake: theyre literally just outside the front door. Its a loving, caring community--a second family in many ways.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I had an amazing experience working with Annastazia. She was very kind, helpful, patient and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience. The rest of the staff was great and the facility was beautiful. The location is just off the lake with plenty to do nearby. I highly recommend this place!

Brookdale Lakeview is in a great neighborhood in Chicago. Dave, the director, seems to never go home, always there when you need him. There are staff members that have been there for years and their dedication and work is greatly appreciated!

I am giving 5 stars to the STAFF! My Mom has been there 5 years now. There is always good and bad with any long term health facility but what remains consistent is the care and attention the staff gives. The Director, Personalized Services, Housekeeping, Food Manager and Maintenance ... all the department heads show great consideration to the Residents.The gentlemen in the Maintenance department are truly gentle men. Besides being great at their job, they are personable and show true kindness and patience to the Residents.Also, I hope Brookdale Corp appreciates its employees at Brookdale Lakeview who have done such a phenomenal job through this COVID-19 crisis.

My Dads experience was wonderful from start to finish; they were responsive to his needs and offered support and appropriate levels of care as they became necessary; every person who we interacted with on the staff was warm and truly cared for the residents. I have nothing but positive feelings about the whole experience and I highly recommend Brookdale Lakeview.

Seems like an OK place, more homey, less institutional feel than Bethany. But will be following up with more research and other places to check out.

I was impressed with Brookdale. I thought the rooms were OK. Some studios face the lake and others face the street. All the rooms were small and clean. I was treated well by the director who took us around. The dining setup was fine, and they had a library. The employees I came in contact with were fine and very friendly.

Brookdale Lake View was near the shore. The community was quite good, and the people seemed educated. It's a nice environment in general. I liked the rooms. I was looking for a one-bedroom with a den, and it was fine. I saw their dining place, and I met people in the hallway. They had a wellness center. The staff told me that the assisted living is very similar to independent living and that they also get enough assistance. The staff was very friendly. We had a very nice impression of the place.

Brookdale Lakeview Crossing pretty much does everything for my mom. They have 24-hour service and excellent meals that she loves. They take care of her rooms and clothes. They're also a lot more affordable, but they still seem to do great care and take her to the doctor. It worked out perfectly. She has a studio apartment with one bedroom, a full bathroom, small kitchen sink, and refrigerator and microwave. The size is large enough for a twin-size bed, a couple of chairs, a dresser, TV and everything, so it's perfect for one person. My mom said the food is great. Everything is on one floor, so it's all easy to get to.

The woman who gave us the tour of Brookdale Lake View was very cheerful, very pleasant, had a great deal of interest in making sure my mother was comfortable, and offered information as well as answered our questions. The staff was very well acquainted with the residents. However, it's an older facility and not quite as upscale as other places. She didn't go with that place because the apartments that were available were on a lower floor, and the light was obscured by another building.

We went to Brookdale, and it was really nice. Dad liked Broodale. It was beautiful. If he was going anywhere, he would have wanted to go to Brookdale. The director took us around, gave us lunch, and showed us the different apartments. Everything was nice and well kept. Dad enjoyed the food. It was very welcoming. Every Friday, they had some kind of sing-a-long, and my dad liked to sing. They had activities going on like scrabble and bingo, and they had a game room. They had trips to casinos. They took them out for meals if they wanted to go and trips to the store and doctor's appointments.

I visited Brookdale Lake View for my mother. What gives Brookdale Lake View an edge from the other facility is that their bathrooms had been more extensively and more carefully modernized and the additional thing that puts it very high is the location in Lakeview. Food was very good too. The staff was wonderful. First of all, they were extremely well-informed, welcoming, friendly, and candid in their responses. From what I observed in two visits, they had a very good open and friendly relationship with all the residents, so that was very attractive to me.

I like the rooms at Brookdale because they did not have the theme of a hospital. The staff there looks after the residents very nicely. I don't have any complaints at all about the place.

Our visit at Kenwood at Lake was great. The building was beautiful, but it was just a bit out of our price range. The staff were great and very helpful. Their rooms were very nice. Overall, everything was wonderful and I wish we could afford it.

We moved my Mom there for a 3month respite. They are very nice, the therapy is excellent and the service is overall very good. I think the restaurant is good, some menu items can be improved. But its the best place we have been to.I do recommend it. Clean, friendly, caring.
