    Always extremely helpful and courteous when I would call to ask a question. I remember when I…read moresigned up they made the process so flawless. Any question I had they were right there with an answer. As a matter of fact a friend of mine will be applying soon at the same location I dealt with when I filed to receive funds. I told her she will be in good hands. They are extremely knowledgeable and will make the process smooth for her.

    I was at this office about 5 years ago to apply for Medicare. It is now 2025 & I'm very reluctant…read moreto come back to this office for future business & I hear appointments are needed which doesn't make sense as Covid is over. But anyway, the young Hispanic Man rep I had was very polite but he tried to tell me I'm not eligible for Medicare. I said I'm not eligible for Social Security as my job had a Pension so employees contributed to the Pension fund where funds were not paid in to Social Security but I'm still eligible for a Medicare card. I then said I needed to have a Supervisor intervene here. After all was said & done, I was able to apply for my Medicare card. Now if I would have just believed this Representative, I would not have a Medicare card today. There is far too much incompetence where these reps are just not knowledgeable, rudeness, hanging up the phone on you & just plain lazy. This has always been the case with many a Government employee as I've been dealing with many a different business issue for well over 50 years. So it's a crap shoot whether or not you'll be dealing with a conscientious rep. And when that happens, consider yourself very lucky. This should not be happening as they are supposed to be employed to represent what can be offered to tax paying citizens providing they are eligible. Now it's to the point where they don't even know if you're eligible but pretend they know. This is what they are paid to do & if they do not know the answer, they are supposed to find out from a Supervisor. Then there's always the problem of a Supervisor not being knowledgeable. Seems like a person has a get a lawyer for any business matter in this day & age. Additionally, the government does not go out of their way to explain Medicare whatsoever. And the mailed handbooks are too confusing & getting bigger every year like a phone book. Maybe they get kickbacks from all these insurance companies because why are the insurance companies the ones always on TV with famous people like Joe Namath & William Shatner pushing Medicare Advantage plans instead of the Government officials guiding us through this maze. With all of the money the Government wastes, they could take care of retired people's health care 100% instead of burdening the tax paying citizens who helped build this Country.

    Home of the world's finest zoo?

Check A somewhat small town that has not one, but two little leagues? Check (For the record Brookfield National is far superior to Brookfield American- North side represent!) A place where you can still find guys who sport Zubas pants while they hand wash their late-80's era Camaros? Check A town that is vehemently against large corporate restaurant chains (Subway flew under the radar a long time ago)? Check A place where the finest restaurant for a long time was called Cock Robin? Check The largest crime for a town dubbed "Crookfield" is a group of 15 year olds breaking curfew on a summer night? Check Want to enjoy the glitz and glamour of "Hollywood" without leaving the Midwest? Check Around any corner an alley becomes a side street to avoid the backed up traffic from stop lights and crossing trains? Check Want your town's fountain to overflow with bubbles at least once a week throughout the summer? Check A complete clusterf*ck design for streets (although, Riverside has Brookfield beat on this one) known as either "eight-corners" or "the circle"? Check Looked down upon by kids from La Grange and Riverside? Check Want to try to look down on kids from Lyons? Check Sad when you see one of the longstanding Czech restaurants close down? Check Want to find out if your neighbors have been picked up for soliciting a prostitute within the last month from your number one source for news- The Suburban Life? Check Prefer to live in a village over a town, city, or any other municipality? Check All these things makes Brookfield A-OK in my opinion.

    Good Ol Brookfield, where we have been residents for 10 years even after we had a 5 year plan! Ha,…read moreha! This review takes into account all experienced in 10 years. Inspectors: not great. Although they were there for our initial inspection, they missed a lot. Case in point, 2 years later they tried to cite us for a hot tub that apparently was never registered with them! We bought the house like that! Costs/fees: outrageous for permits, expensive for vehicle stickers. Park District: very small selection of classes and activities. However, their staff is exceptional and very caring. I also love their preschool program, much better than other park districts. My son is learning so much! Police: no experience with them other than when my son accidentally dialed 911 when he was a year and a half, ha ha! They promptly visited the home to ensure all was well. Main office: conflicted about this, as they are closed for events without any heads up, to the public, but staff is very helpful. I still enjoy their involvement in the community, and they are definitely very involved in celebrating holidays!
