About Brookdale Orland Park

Brookdale Orland Park is a senior living community in Orland Park, Illinois offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing/Long Term Care. The community serves residents across a range of care needs and life stages.

Families report notably different experiences depending on which part of the community their loved one resides in and which staff members they interact with. Direct care staff, particularly in Memory Care, earn consistent praise for compassion and genuine engagement; one family noted that their aunt is "thriving, and enjoying her time there." Residents reportedly participate in social activities like puzzles, trivia, Bingo, and group dining. Several families describe feeling their loved ones became happier and more socially connected after moving in. However, administrative communication emerges as a significant weakness in multiple reviews, with families reporting unresponsive emails and phone calls, difficulty scheduling meetings, and slow resolution of concerns. Additional concerns raised include medication management lapses, staff turnover in leadership positions, and inconsistent policies around facility fees.

The community holds a 4.1 out of 5 rating across 40 Google reviews. While five-star reviews emphasize the warmth of the care environment and staff attentiveness, one-star reviews point to systemic issues with management responsiveness and care oversight. Prospective families should weigh the positive feedback about day-to-day staff care against documented challenges with administrative support and operational consistency.

The care my Mom has received at Brookdale is great. The staff that actually provides the daily care for my Mom are very kind and compassionate. The administration, however, is awful. There is ZERO communication. They do not respond to emails or phone calls. The only times we have even been able to meet with them are by NOT prior arrangement. When we actually did get a meeting, we were promised everything would be taken care of. At last report, the request for a light bulb replacement was over 1 month ago and still waiting.<br>Their price increases are ridiculous. In 5 years, they have gone up almost 2k PER MONTH. What, you may ask do you get for this rate? The furthest room from the nurses station, the opportunity to buy toilet paper for the resident. (Why toilet paper isn't included in the cost is anyone's guess). I can't complain enough about Lyndsay or corporate headquarters. I hope they, or someone they love, is subjected to the truly awful place this has become. I will again praise the "real" workers who are almost always kind and pleasant.<br><br>Update: received a text from a family member who just received her Christmas cards for THE LAST 3 YEARS marked as Return to Sender. Let's see: Mom received mail. Mom is incapable of opening her mailbox (vision deficit). You can't take it to her, alert family, etc? FOR 3 YEARS?

Brookdale is the best. They have such a lovely staff and really care for their residents! This isn’t just assisted living, they have many interactive activities for the residence to do to help them feel involved and to feel at home. If you are looking to put a loved one in assisted living, this is definitely the place to check out.

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.
