My parents are living in Independence Village of East Lansing right now and they're managing there. They're doing quite well there at the moment. Our overall experience has been very positive. The tone of the place is very giving, loving, and happy. The director has been so excellent during COVID, and our whole family is very grateful with how they've handled everything. The room is nice. They've been good at maintaining the room. Their refrigerator was broken and they brought up a new one within a couple of hours. The whole staff, the custodial staff, and the desk staff, everybody joined in together for special occasions and things to do to bring a smile to the residents' faces. They're very caring, supportive, and positive.

We were moving into Independence Village of East Lansing, but the last step which included moving our beds, we were not able to get in because of the lock-down, but we're still paying rent there. We've been calling them for 3 weeks, but they're not calling back. We chose them because they provide 3 meals a day, I don't have to cook in the room, they supply all the linens, and they have activities. They go shopping once or twice a week, they have movie nights, men's coffee hour, and a walking club. The staff was nice, gave us the information we needed, and was polite.

Independence Village of East Lansing was a very nice facility, except Mother needed more care than they had readily at hand. She had an apartment, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. She was allowed to have a microwave and refrigerator. They had a very nice dining room, and their location was good. If I had to go to a place, I would definitely go over there.

Actually my Mother(96) was a resident here for 3 years until her physical limitations required her to move where she would get more help. She remembers IV as a great place, with great entertainment, great people, great fun, great staff. There is always activity and the residents treat each other like family. The location across a quiet street from Meijers and an easy wheelchair ride to Applebees is unrivaled.

We visited Independence Village. That place is really big; it has 140 units. I thought it was nice. I know my mom has a friend who lives there and likes it. She doesn't even want to consider it because they're in East Lansing, and she wants to be in West Lansing, but I just wanted her to know some options. The residents seem very friendly there. They have big 1-bedroom apartments just like the other independent places.

I've been in a fair share of facilities like these in the past and love the landscaping they have done in front of the building. It provides a great lookout and view, as well as a quaint and peaceful atmosphere for residents and guests. I have been in other facilities where it just seems too "medical" if that makes any sense. They can always find something to do and have tons of scheduled events throughout the week, or she can interact with other guests just to pass the time. They do offer transportation, which is extremely helpful for when we can't take her to her appointments, which is a rarity, but it is nice to know we can use it whenever we need it. The staff is extremely friendly and easy to get a hold of; we never seem to have any problems seeing her when we visit. I'm actually pretty happy that she's there. Her health is improving and so is her demeanor.
