Independent Village of Pella is a lovely, warm, friendly, family oriented community. The entire staff is so very friendly and helpful. I am always met with a friendly smile and "how may I help you" greeting when I walk thru the front door. There are so many activities that are fun and inviting to participate in with the other community members allowing friendships to form. I am amazed at the holiday decor and activities throughout the community; how fun for the residents. I had to experience some difficult health concerns with my family member who is under their care. They have been so good to help me with the information I needed for his continued care when I did not know what is available to me or who to turn to for the help. The staff was available any time I needed help be it within the community or by phone. I am so thankful I choose Independent Village for my family members care.

During a time of great loss, we needed a very special location for our parents to live near us. Through our research we found Independence Village of Pella. Right from the start, the amazing leadership and caregivers were able to answer our questions, provide us numerous tours, provided thoughtful things to consider, and reassure us throughout the process of determining how to best meet the needs of our precious parents. Needless to say, our parents had been through so much and we needed a comfortable, caring, and beautiful community that would embrace them as new neighbors and friends. The community is full of amazing staff who truly care about their community members and the extended family who visit. Our parents quickly began to enjoy their new apartment, which is fully accessible and roomy, which we were able to furnish and decorate. They were welcomed immediatly by staff and neighborly residents. Additionally, we were (and still are) greeted by staff who recognize us and engage in conversation. We love that our parents really get excited to attend Bingo, Grayolo coloring group, watch and/or participate in a game of pool, and pick grapes from the courtyard. They have a plethora of opportunities to participate in as much as they desire. It's such a delight to visit daily and see all the amazing celebrations throughout the month. Whether it's a meal or coffee time, the local chef creates amazing cuisine that our parents rave about. Not only do our parents feel at home but we feel we are welcomed as part of the family. A stop to sing with someone playing the piano is a welcomed opportunity along with chatting with other neighbors enjoying the rocking chairs outdoors on summer and autumn evenings. Sitting by a warm fireplace with friends, putting together puzzles in community spaces, and worshiping as a collective neighborhood are wonderful options available. We are beyond blessed with helpful staff who truly treat our parents and us so well. No question goes unanswered. What a blessing to have Independence Village in Pella! Truly, they are an answer to many prayers for us and our parents.

Wonderful care and rehab offered. I couldn't be happier with the employees and managers of this facility. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen and bathroom offer the individual options to cook and take care of personal needs without feeling they are in a nursing home.

My parents are now in the Independence Village of Pella. The executive director and the ones below her that does resident care, know what they're doing as far as interaction with the residents. For the most part, the care is good there and the food is good. They care about the residents. They have a lot of activities for them, there's exercise for them, and that was another thing that I liked. And then they also have an out-of-house therapy that comes in 2 to 3 times a week for my mom, which is a huge plus. The facility is beautiful. There are a couple of aides that are not as compassionate as I would like them to be. I've been to lots of different places, and I would say that the food here is the best I've seen.

I toured Independence Village of Pella and the person who took us on the tour was awesome. He answered all of our questions, and while he was showing us around, I could see that the residents liked him a lot. So, when someone knows who you are, that means you're going around and checking on things and stuff like that. I thought the layout was really good, but they're still in the process of updating some things.
The apartment we saw was great. The room itself was like a tiny apartment. It had its own bedroom, then a living area, and a refrigerator for people who could still use it, but if they're not using it, it wouldn't be plugged in. It was nice and the most spacious room that we saw out of all of the places we visited. I went through their dining area too and it was very nice and clean.

I visited my mom frequently while living in her spacious apartment in the Assisted Living section at Independence Village. The friendly, professional and caring staff always have time to insure the residents get all the care they need. When walking in the hall I could hear the residents socializing, enjoying playing bingo or attending a program. There are many activities and enjoyable day trips provided. The residents can partake in whatever interests them. I know my mom loves living there and I have peace of mind knowing she is well taken care of.

My mom moved into Independence Village of Pella, and it is excellent. The staff are excellent. My mom has an apartment. For activities they have word searches, videos, movies, coloring, crafts, book clubs, and writing clinics. They have a courtyard, a vineyard planted in their courtyard, a salon, and exercises. The food is excellent according to what my mom said, and she is a cook.

We really liked it and it's a newer facility. It's in very nice shape, so it's pretty nice. My mother-in-law liked it. The rooms are nice, and the living room is pretty big and had one fairly large bedroom and a nice-sized, eat-in kitchen where you could have a little table; my mother-in-law really likes that. The rooms also had a washer and dryer, and she really liked that about it too.

I visited to assess if this would be a good option for one of my relatives. I ate a meal with some of the residents, went on a tour and spoke with staff. In every interaction, it was obvious that people care, the community is vibrant, and staff is knowledgeable. I heard a several stories from the residents about how they came to Independence Village. I witnessed a variety of vibrant social activities, both planned and spontaneous. I heard about local parade to celebrate the upcoming holiday. I witnessed a group attending a local school play and heard about other outings.
The rooms are clean, facilities appear well maintained, and the residents have opportunities to personalize their residences. The food choices are well balanced to match nutritional needs. I liked that there is a place for physical therapy, a library, a beauty salon and to play a piano.
The staff are knowledgeable about all sorts of aspects of this stage of life. I also have appreciated the ongoing conversation with Sarah as my relative is not yet ready for this step. When she is, I will definitely be recommending Independence Village. PS, I like the flexibility to be able to transition between the levels of care, depending on health needs.

When looking for an apartment and community setting for my godparents relocating to Pella from Oregon, Independent Village was the only community that I recommended. The staff were absolutely fabulous in giving me a tour ahead of time, answering questions and even helping them in their move and transition. I'm inspired every time I visit with the beauty of the property, the meal options and the fabulous onsite activities.

From my observation as a family member of a resident, Independent Village is a top notch place to call home. It is clean, appears to be well run and the staff is caring and professional. The decor is very pleasant and there are so many fun and creative activities planned to meet a range of interests among residents.

Rooms are spacious!! Lovely views of the pond, (love the fountains). There seems always be activities to join in, from sing-a-longs, to puzzles, to adventures around the area. Pella is an amazing community, with outside or inside things to do.

Our family made the difficult decision to help mom and dad sell their beautiful new home and downsize to a more manageable residence about two years ago. And while the process certainly had plenty of emotional ups and downs, we are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work together—parents, children, and even grandchildren—through the sorting, purging, and setting up a new home experience. We are extraordinarily grateful to have found Independence Village in Pella for mom and dad. While their two-bedroom apartment is certainly smaller than their previous home, we’ve worked together to create a very cozy, comfortable, and manageable new homebase for them. All along the way, the genuinely remarkable and caring staff members—every single one of them—have been astoundingly accommodating, uplifting, encouraging, and wonderfully resourceful at every turn. The entire facility is spacious, tidy and clean, beautifully appointed, and bright and cheery. Activities and programming are creatively curated every week, and there is never a shortage of entertaining things to do and places to go, all organized and executed by the crackerjack staff. The title of this review is not hyperbole; I fully expect to live at Independence Village when the time comes for me to downsize to a more manageable home. Every time I walk into the building, I’m deeply satisfied and gratified to have such a terrific retirement community so close to the truly amazing town I’ve claimed as my own since moving here to attend college in 1980. I give Independence Village my highest recommendation, and I urge you and your family to visit and chat with the staff and residents to see if it’s a good match for you as well. I predict you’ll love what you discover there.

The buildings and grounds are well kept. They always look good and sell good. They staff is friendly and willing to listen and to try and give residents and their families what they would like to see happen. Mom's apartment is perfect. It was very fresh and clean when she moved in to it. We love to visit. Staff and other residence enjoy it when we spend time with everyone not just our mom. Mom loves it here. She loves spending time with her new friends, she likes the staff a lot and loves her apartment. Everyone is very upbeat and helpful.

My mother currently lives in memory care. I appreciate the bright, homey private rooms. She thinks of it as an apartment and seems to feel very at home. One thing she really appreciates is how good the food is and the variety. As her daughter, I feel a lot of peace knowing they keep a close eye on mom, as politely as possible. I also appreciate the variety of activities that they help her to be a part of.
