Brookdale Vernon Hills

Brookdale Vernon Hills sits in a spot where you can see lots of green views and there are over 5,000 trees and shrubs there, and the building itself has big rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and décor inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, so everything feels fresh and clean. This place has a big historic rainforest café area and the country's largest residential rainforest, which is bigger than a football field and more than six stories tall, and there's also a winding quarter-mile walking path for folks who want some fresh air, plus an indoor pool, hot tub, full spa, beauty salon, arts and crafts studio, fitness center, fireside lounge, and billiards room so there's always something to do indoors or out-residents can even bring their pets. Folks living here have plenty of options, whether it's independent living with maintenance-free homes for those ready for an active retirement, assisted living with help for things like meals, medication, and hygiene from on-site trained staff day and night, or memory care with spaces and programs set up to care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia using personalized plans, secure areas, and special activities focused on cognition, and if health needs change, there's skilled nursing and continuing care, plus at-home care services if needed. Apartments come in different floor plans, some with cable TV, dishwashers, and full kitchens, and all have 24-hour emergency response systems. The staff is on-site seven days a week, always keeping an eye on things and ready to help. Nutritious, homemade meals are made by chefs and meal planners every day with a menu that changes, and the dining room uses white tablecloths, offers open seating, generous dining hours, and pleasant dining staff; there's also transportation available, both complimentary and at-cost, with parking and wheelchair-accessible showers for folks who need them. Residents can keep busy with a full calendar of social, educational, and entertaining activities meant to help everyone make friends and enjoy life, along with signature programs and devotional services both on and off campus to support spiritual needs. Personalized care plans match each resident's wants and goals, and safety remains a priority with alert systems and responsive staff. Brookdale Vernon Hills supports residents as needs change, whether someone wants independent living with lots of events and freedom or needs more support from assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing, and the whole place works to promote a caring, active, and respectful community for older adults.
