I have a loved one who who is a resident at Independence Hall and I truly feel at ease knowing she is in the care of loving staff like Julianna. She is an exceptional physical therapist with a good spirit and a wonderful bedside manner. It is a really clean environment (they just had new carpets installed!) and the maintenance and house cleaning crews keep the rooms and communal areas very clean. That is important in South Florida! There is a great chef, too! One thing I love are the opportunities my aunt has to remain as active as she has always been. She really enjoys the activities the staff organizes especially, exercise activities, happy hours, meals out at local restaurants, and shopping excusions. Personally, the residence is nearby my home and I am able to visit frequently, which makes me happy, and their admin department is always so kind when I call or visit. Nice job!

We toured Independence Hall. The big thing for us was that it was close to us. The location was good. The location was very clean. The people were very helpful. It would work out very well if we moved one or both of our parents down there. They've got all kinds of activities. They've got medication management, and the ability to have them taken to doctors, and that was important. The staff was great, very informative, and gave us all kinds of information and answered everything we needed.

I liked the physical, the staff, and the cleanliness of Independence Hall. Their rooms were the largest of all the four facilities that I visited. It was nice and the other thing that they had, which is important for South Floridians, is the building has its own generator so that in the event of a power failure, not only do the elevators and the public spaces operate, but the rooms also operate, and that's kind of a rare thing. The facility was extremely clean. There were no odors. The common areas were very large. The hallways are wide. It had a pleasant outdoor setting. They have a garden area opposite their dining hall, which has trees and flowers. It had a homey feeling to it, not an institutional feeling.
