The reviews for Brookdale Lake Shore Drive present a mixed picture. Many residents and their families praise the facility for its stunning views of Lake Michigan, friendly and attentive staff, and a wide range of activities that foster a strong sense of community. The dining options are frequently highlighted as excellent, and the location is appreciated for its proximity to the lakefront and Lincoln Park. Several staff members, such as Lissy Wakefield and Grace Wagner, receive specific commendations for their exceptional service. However, there are notable criticisms as well. Some residents report maintenance issues, such as broken appliances and plumbing problems, which they had to address at their own expense. Concerns about understaffing and inadequate care, particularly in assisted living, are mentioned, with reports of unqualified personnel handling sensitive tasks. The facility's size is seen as a drawback by some, leading to feelings of neglect and impersonal service. Additionally, logistical issues like elevator breakdowns and inconvenient meal delivery times are highlighted. Overall, while many find Brookdale a vibrant and supportive community, others feel it falls short in providing consistent care and maintenance. The facility seems well-suited for active, social seniors, but may not meet the needs of those requiring more personalized attention.
