Review for Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes in Vernon Hills Independent Living
I would tell a friend that, they should definitely check out Brookdale Vernon Hills. It's a nice facility. However, some of the services you might think are included are actually ala carte and $$$. Others, like ensuring your loved one has their meds, may not be available at all. I imagine all such senior facilities are like this, but it can still be surprising where and when you run into these issues.

about Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes in Vernon Hills Independent Living

Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes in Vernon Hills Independent Living offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes in Vernon Hills Independent Living 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
