I'm in independent living at Brookdale Lake Shore Drive and almost everyone is independent here. I'm very happy and satisfied with everything. They've been doing a lot of remodeling because they had water damage on the first floor. Otherwise, everything is fine. They have plenty of things to go to all day. They have an exercise room. The people are happy here. I like that it's near St. Joseph's Church. The staff is very good. The food is excellent, and there's a lot of choices.

My father stayed at Brookdale Lake Shore Drive, and it is very nice and mostly for people who are independent and needing little assistance, but my father needed so much more. The place was beautiful, like a 5-star hotel. The dining room was immaculate, and the food was wonderful. The activities were constant and there was always something to do. They had doctors in the building, a bank, and a workout room, a general store, snack bar, liquor bar, two dining rooms, all the stuff that you want. It's very nice. They had workout classes, movie room where you could watch old and new movies, art classes, a library, and a garden where you could plant your own vegetables. The menu was very nice and bordering on gourmet. It was pretty overpriced though and would bankrupt the average couple.

My mom is a resident of Brookdale Lake Shore Drive. Its a fabulous community, theyre very caring, the facility is awesome, its very comfortable, very clean, and my mom is looked after there. They have a lot of activities, she likes them a lot, and shes pretty engaged. The menu is good, she has limited options because shes vegetarian, she goes downstairs for dinner only, and breakfast comes up to her room. I like all the staff members except the serving staff.

Brookdale Lake Shore Drive has the most wonderful location and the most wonderful views. They have beautiful grounds and a beautiful park out in front. The location is great. The rooms have great views too. The staff members were good; however, there were things that I didn't like about the community.

My mother will be moving into Brookdale Lake Shore Drive. The person who gave us the tour, Bryan, was fabulous, very open to all the questions, answered everything, volunteered information, and showed me several of the apartments. I was impressed with how clean and sunny the place was. The staff seemed to know the residents and was very friendly. The residents looked pleasant and very diverse. I went back for a second visit with my mother. What sold her on it were the rooms, the cleanliness, the beauty, and the location of the place. She has macular degeneration, and she liked that the apartment had more light there and no building obstructing her view, so she could see better.

My in-laws liked Brookdale more because it had an intimate atmosphere, more rooms for entertainment, and had a variety of rooms to choose from. They had a library, a shared lobby area broken into several large rooms, and a game room. Brookdale probably has rooms in better condition than other places; the smaller units are still larger than the small unit of the other places. My in-laws would have had to pay much more money in other places for a one-bedroom in order to be satisfied with the size, whereas with Brookdale, they’ll actually go for a studio because it was larger. They could live with that space and would have been less expensive because they would have been able to afford the studio.

My husband has been at Brookdale since December but it’s not working out. He is not getting the services that I paid for. I just met the people in-charge there five times, and it’s still not happening. Their billings are all screwed up still waiting for a correct bill for the month of December, and January. It has been a nightmare from day 1. However, they have all the pretty things; the big screen TV in the lobby, the marble floors, nice meals but it’s the care that’s the most important part not the pretty picture on the outside. They must train their caregivers appropriately.

Brookdale Lake Shore (The Hallmark) was a little bigger. It was nice. There was nothing negative about it. They had a workout area, and they do games.
