We visited Independence Village of Fishers. We liked it, but it was a little older. It was about 25 years old. It had an older feel to it. We saw the apartment and it looked very nice. They had an exercise bike, and then like an alcove and a hall, and it was not set up for any kind of weights or anything like that. They did have a nice outside area. It was well maintained. Everything looked nice, but it was just a little older, a little dated. The halls were clean and there were pretty things on the door. It had a beautiful courtyard; it was gorgeous. It had a little stream, water features, little critters and ducks that would come in. We saw a one-bedroom and an efficiency. The efficiency room was small and not what I wanted, but the one bedroom was very nice. It had a big bathroom. The cook came out and met us personally. They gave us a big takeout plate of chocolate chip cookies, which were delicious.

The community was a decent place with polite staff. The place was clean. However, there weren't that many amenities. The rooms looked decent, were a good size, and clean.

This place was likely where we would have taken our mom. It was very nice. The gal that took us around was extremely helpful. We loved the location of it. The place was really clean, and they had lots of activities. We really liked it a lot. The staff was very nice. The food was very good. We liked that they had rehab because our mom was going to require some rehab.

The community is a 3-story facility, which concerned me a bit, with narrow hallways. Their rooms for activities were not open concept and had doors, which was uninviting. The narrowness of the halls worried me for safety. The closed activity doors seemed to isolate and wouldn’t promote people into joining in. The staff was very nice, and I could tell that the residents were happy. There was a sense that they all work together. They should take the doors off of their activity rooms, although I can understand why they would want to close them; it is what it is. The people and staff are what make it.

It is very nice, and if my mom was going to go someplace, I would suggest this to her. The lady that I dealt with was sociable. The place was homey, and the apartments were very nice, not quite large, but large enough. The one I looked at had a very large bedroom and bathroom and a large living area with a small kitchenette area. The dining area was very nice. They had a doctor and nurse on-staff all the time. They don't have a pool, but they had a chapel, library, and a beauty salon.

It is in walking distance from where we live. The room is pretty big with a bathroom and kitchenette. The tour guide was helpful. They have a very good menu, and the dining area was pretty full, so they have waiters and waitresses who helped with the food.
