"My mother is an Independent Living resident and is very happy with her decision to live at Independence Village. She has reaffirmed that during my visits to Pella and our telephone conversations. It’s perfect for her. The staff is friendly, engaging and thoughtful. Also very creative and willing to go to a lot of effort for some great, fun activities throughout the year—checkout their social media and see what I mean. Independence Village provides lunch for my mom and that works great for her. Breakfast and dinner are available if she would ever want those meals. They have a nice, comfortable dining room. The food is great and the chef is also very creative with meals and events. The facility and grounds are pleasant and well kept. Beautiful garden area that residents can enjoy and even do some gardening if so inclined. Mom put a lot of thought into the decision when she decided to move from her townhome. It’s a blessing to see her happy at Independence Village. I’m looking forward to my next visit!"

"We're currently living in the Newton Place Apartments. We have a two-bedroom, every apartment has a laundry room, and storage closets that are quite large, a pantry, a kitchen, and a large bathroom. Some apartments have handicap features, and some don't. There's a maintenance woman, a manager who's here two days a week, another woman who coordinates activities, and she's here three days a week. We have exercise activities, some art activities, and we celebrate birthdays during the month."

"My mom moved into Glenwood Place. It's an assisted living building. She is actually in a one-bedroom small apartment and very well cared for. They have fantastic staff here. She enjoys some ladies that she's met. They have great activities. They take good care of my mom, so I'm happy that she found this place to be."

"Hearthstone, Pella was very clean. The staff was really good and engaging with the residents. They have what they call "The Cottages" and that's where my mother-in-law will stay. She will have a nice room there that is big enough to bring a few of her things from home. It's nice, organized, and the residents seemed happy. There's a very nice place that they can go outside and they have an area where they can do activities or just visit."
