I just had the most wonderful experience touring **Brookdale Glen Ellyn**—what a pleasant surprise! We stopped in for a tour and were greeted so warmly. Our guide, **Tim Martin**, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and really took the time to show us around and answer every question. We even had the chance to meet the **Director of Dining** and the **Chef** right there in the dining area, which was such a nice personal touch. They were both enthusiastic and happy to chat about the menu and how they prepare meals. And the food? Seriously impressive—we enjoyed a delicious lunch during the tour, and it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It really gave us a true sense of what daily life there is like. The community itself feels welcoming and well-maintained, with a great vibe overall. If you're considering independent or assisted living options in the Glen Ellyn area, I highly recommend scheduling a tour—especially if you get Tim as your guide. It was a genuinely positive and enjoyable visit. So glad we went! 🌟🍽️🏡

My parents moved to Brookdale Glen Ellyn 2 and 1/2 years ago, and they have settled in well! They have made many friends and are actively participating in a variety of activities from exercising to being in the large Brookdale choir. They love the food, and we are impressed by all of the choices. The staff knows all of the residents, and they truly care for each one. My parents have also enjoyed the convenience of having doctor appointments and hair cuts right in Brookdale. They also enjoy weekly shopping trips with the bis service provided by Brookdale. There have been so many positives about making the decision to move to Brookdale Glen Ellyn!

My husband and I moved here last fall, and it was a good decision for us. Staff have been here a long time (which says a lot), and are caring. Residents are friendly and welcoming. Lots of food selections! Much more quality entertainment than I was expecting, always things to do. More medical care and home help available than we were expecting.

We feel incredibly grateful to have found Brookdale Glen Ellyn Senior Living for three of our loved ones, each with different needs (from independent living to assisted) and preferences. The staff is caring, conscientious, friendly, and hardworking. The facility is lovely inside and out, has delicious dining, and offers numerous varied activities and entertainment. Onsite hair salon, cafe, fitness, pool, library, gardening beds, PT, and visiting medical professionals ensure residents can have most needs met without leaving the property. The location is excellent, with a vibrant park on one side, a super convenient Aldi on the other, and several restaurants, drug stores, banks, etc. nearby. Thank you to all who work at Brookdale!
