Brookdale Orland Park

Brookdale Orland Park has been a godsend to me. I was mentally preparing for my loved one to pass due to his illnesses. Brookdale was referred to me. I flew in from South Carolina and toured the facility. There was no hesitation this was the right place. My loved one is now flourishing from the attention given, the inclusion at meal times, and his independence in his own apartment. The staff is remarkable and the environment even better. We are blessed.

Our decision to find the most appropriate best-fit alternate to Mom no longer being able to either return to her home, or to live with family, was life-changing for her as well as us. We knew a place had to be able to meet her healthcare needs and her social needs, as well as her need to continue to feel independent. Brookdale met all our family needs for each of us. At Brookdale, Mom is always doing something, surrounded by people with whom she can share conversations, activities and laughs; staff who care for and about her well-being; but most of all, Mom is in a community in which she is safe.

My father had a stroke 1 year prior to moving into Brookdale. He was living an isolated life in his home and we pushed him to move to assisted living. Over the 7 months my father spent at Brookdale he became the happiest I’d seen him in the 6 years since our mother had passed and left him a widow. He raved every time I came to visit about how much he enjoyed doing puzzles, trivia, playing Bingo, and just hanging out with the men in the community. It was a place my father blossomed into a social butterfly and out of a sadness he had from loosing his wife. I will be forever grateful to Brookdale for being a place my father truely enjoyed living.

I have dealt only with the Memory Care staff. However, I have nothing but good things to say about them. The Brookdale Memory Care team has created a family environment for the people who live there. Jennifer Silas is an amazing leader and her staff go above and beyond everyday. My aunt is thriving, and enjoying her time there. I know she feels safe and cared for. She is doing things she would never do before. Such as going out for lunch adventures. My aunt seems more confident and comfortable in the Brookdale environment. If she needs anything, Jennifer and staff let us know right away. I appreciate the communication with myself and family members. It has been timely and reassuring. For my Aunt, Brookdale Memory Care and their Team, gave her back a life to enjoy. That makes my heart happy.

Brookdale is absolutely incredible! I was looking for an assisted living facility when my dad passed away and Brookdale has been home to my mom for almost a year. The entire staff has been incredible. Very responsive, kind, caring, compassionate...i could go on and on. Thank you Brookdale! I would be lost without you during a very difficult time.
