Brookdale Orland Park

Brookdale Orland Park is a three-story senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and at-home care services all within the same property, so residents can age in place while getting different levels of support as needed. The community serves seniors who want to live independently but provides help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medicine management for those who need it. They also have a dedicated memory care program, including Clare Bridge, with special support for residents living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, using structured activities and safe, familiar routines to lower confusion and help residents feel secure. Floor plans come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, and memory care suites have kitchenettes with sinks, cabinets, and small refrigerators, while assisted living units offer big windows, armchairs, dressers with TVs, and floral artwork, and private memory care rooms feature soft lighting, plush chairs, and comfortable beds.

Around-the-clock care is provided by trained staff, and help is always close by with an emergency alert system in every room. Brookdale Orland Park's dining room serves chef-prepared meals with table service, and there's also a coffee bar, guest meal options, and private dining rooms for family. Residents, including those in memory care, get customized diets as needed, such as low sodium meals, and snacks are always within reach thanks to a snack shop and an inviting café. The amenities are many-residents enjoy landscaped gardens with benches, white archways, a red brick exterior, indoor-outdoor patios, walking paths, a pet-friendly policy so residents can bring their pets, common rooms, lounges for socializing with others or reading quietly, and bright spaces inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright design. The library contains books, computers, big tables, and comfortable chairs for reading or gathering with friends, and arts and crafts, music from a piano or organ, a two-chair beauty salon with all the usual equipment, and devotional services keep residents busy and connected.

Assisted living is about supporting independence while giving help when it's needed, and the staff focus on making things comfortable, clean, and home-like, with housekeeping and laundry taken care of. Memory care residents have secure, enclosed courtyards to safely enjoy being outdoors, and activities run at regular times to get people thinking, moving, or laughing together, all while staff check in to help if someone needs extra support during the day or night. For those who prefer to stay at home, the community offers home health aides who provide non-medical care and companionship. Transportation is available for appointments and outings, either complimentary or at an extra cost, and the location's convenient to nearby bus lines.

Brookdale Orland Park allows flexible care levels, including respite and hospice services. Some rooms come with accessible tubs and showers for those with mobility needs. The environment puts a focus on safety, with staff ready to help 24/7, and every resident has a personalized care plan, especially for those living with dementia. The community's received awards for its care and support, and people often note the friendly, caring staff who help maintain a clean, welcoming environment. Brookdale Orland Park supports adults in all stages of aging, promotes wellness, and tries to make sure everyone's engaged, safe, and as independent as possible.
