Clearbrook is an awesome organization the provides opportunities and care for disabled children and adults throughout Chicagoland. The staff cares about and takes pride in their relationships with the clients. FANTASTIC ORGANIZATION!!!!
I'D LIKE THIS PLACE ALOT, AND IF IT WASN'T FOR CLEARBROOK GETTING ME THE JOBS LIKE PENN PRECIAN PRODUCTS INC.AND WAS LOCATED IN ROLLING MEADOWS, IL., AND THEN IS LIFT PARTS MANUFACTURING PRODUCTS INC., FOR 6/3 QUARTERS YRS,AND THEN IS BARJAN VICTOR PRODUCTS THAT BELL INCORPORATED TOOK OVER, AND WAS THERE FOR 14 1/2 YRS. AND WAS STARBUCKS BUT WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH AND THEN I'D CALL IT QUITS, AND THEN IS THE LOWE'S HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE IN VERNON HILLS,IL. ITS GOING TO BE 7YRS NEXT MONTH ON THE 11TH. AND AS FOR THE CLEARBROOK PLAZA THAT MY FATHER/DAD AND MY TWO BROTHERS AND MY SISTER IN LAW, AND MY BROTHER'S LADY FRIEND HAS DEDICATED A TRAINING ROOM IN HONOR OF MY LATE MOTHER/MOM EVE LASKIN. I'D WILL NEVER EVER LEAVE CLEARBROOK AT ALL OF WHAT SO EVER. IT WAS ESTABLISHED ON THE YEAR OF 1955. I'D WAS 2YRS OLD OF THAT TIME.
After visiting their administrative offices with my developmentally disabled brother in tow, first thing I noticed was an all white administrative staff and the ladies evaluating my brother seemed way more interested in judging me, hardly paying any attention to their potential client, my 68 year old brother, so much so that it made me extremely uncomfortable. Was sent there by ISSA representative at CAU because Clearbrook had listed openings but during the interview suddenly told there were no more openings. Lots of stone cold staring from the one woman. Anyway, aferwards, read some of these reviews, so it probably would not have been a good fit.
Thanks for hosting our PASSAGES meeting! Really appreciate it!
This its the best place for a non profit organization
I m so upset frustrated and so mad... it s about my child and all they could say was sorry..
My daughter was not able to do things and the age she required. Roll, tummy time, out weight on legs, and had issues swallowing. The Dr gave me a referral I was referred to this facility in hopes that they could answe any question or take this pressure of feeling I did something wrong or is something wrong with my child. I had to wait two months to get a call back a week after to get evaluated had told the staff about all my concerns and yet it took them about a month to get her therapy. After all this turns out the case worker that was handeling my case either got fired or she quit because I never got a call or no one reached out to me until today... I had taken my daughter back to her 1yr evaluation with her Dr to tell me to stop getting services from them she s doing great and what ever I m doing at home continue.. and still have not received a call from them to cancel my case to let me know who my new case worker is nothing instead all I got was a let me look into this... please parent ask the question be on top of them therapy should not take long to get provided to your child they should be on top because your concerns should be there s and making sure they contact you.
Very disappointed I was so upset because this is my child.
Gr8 place for people with intellultecual disablities get empowered and equipped for the workplace . In addition they help build social skills and enaging them in the community.
My biggest gripe with this place--and the reason I give it one star---is it's as though there's a black hole in my son's room that sucks every item belonging to him into it, never to be seen again. Clothes and personal items that aren't nailed to a wall disappear. If it's anything that's loose, it's gone! He has lived there only a few months and literally dozens of his personal belongings have disappeared from his room, closets and drawers. Of the 30 or so items of clothing he moved in with, I think maybe 10 are still there. All his belongings have his name on them. I spent hours sewing name tags I had made up for him onto dozens of items of clothing, to no avail. They still disappear. A pair of shoes I bought for him recently disappeared between the day I put them in his room and later in the week when I visited again. I ask staff, including management, what happened to his things and no one knows anything. The management says they will organize a search, but never once has one lost item been recovered. Either ambulatory residents go into his room and take things, in which case, staff ought to be able to recover them IF they made any real effort to search, as they promise they will. Yeah, right. If it's not other residents, it's staff. There is no other possibility. If that's the case, Clearbrook employs thieves, which doesn't seem to trouble them, not a bit. What angers me the most is not ONCE has management ever offered to replace even one stolen item. A person has to be as low as can be to steal from a disabled person who can't protect his own personal belongings! I wouldn't accept the offer of replacement because I know how strapped they are, but at least if they would offer, ONCE, I wouldn't hate them so much.
It's just not worth it for his family to buy him anything, ever. Nine out of 10 chances, it will be gone within a week to a month, maybe two at most. The care my son gets there is passable--adequate to stay within minimum state guidelines to keep their license, but not much more than that. If you have a disabled loved one needing residential care but you care about whether your loved one is stolen from on a regular basis, maybe try to find someplace else.
