Westbrook Senior Living

From $3,465/mo

110 West Schaumburg Road, Streamwood, IL, 60107
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"The facility is clean and nicely appointed, but not well-run or a good value for the money. In the short time our mom was there (almost two years), they have had three executive directors. With the exception of Allie at the front desk, Westbrook is not a caring supportive community. Our loved one was in independent living, but the director did not tolerate us advocating for our parent who was starting to need additional support. No care or concern shown. They are corporately owned and are concerned with their image rather than residents. They operate with minimal overworked staff, and offer minimal services while raising rates. Food was awful and served in to-go containers (as they can’t keep dining room staff). The facility was not a good fit for our family and we don’t recommend." - Karen…

Assisted Living, Independent Living

"I would give a minus 5 stars if I could. My mom lived here for a little over a year. Shortly after moving in, the management changed - so did everything else. Mom constantly complained about the food being terrible. Residents constantly were allowed to harass my mother all hours of the day and night. My mom was a smoker and multiple residents came to her begging cigarettes. We reported this to management multiple times. Their response "they are all adults, they need to manage this themselves". We were very clear that she did not have this capability. We were clear about her alzheimer's/dementia when we moved her in. They assured us they could care for all her needs. The onsite nursing team is a joke. Mom needed ear drops, "we can 't do those-family needs to come in". Could not even give an ice pack when my mom had a bad fall. On the subzero temp days mom was not warned to stay in, went outside and had to have ambulance called twice." - Maureen…
