DHawk 2021-02-12 My father was a resident at IV in Michigan during this awful pandemic. I live in Georgia and was not able to visit in person. One particular member of the staff on more than one occasion assisted with a video chat with my dad and that really helped me deal with not being able to visit in person. I joined the Facebook group for IV and saw that they were always doing special themes of the day to keep the residents engaged. I could tell by the pictures the residents loved it. The only other feedback I can give was that everyone I talked to in my family told me how great the people were and how attentive to his needs they were. My Dad did say that he liked the food much more than the two other places he was at (one in Florida and one in Michigan before he got into IV). I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Midland Dave 2021-02-09 My wife and I especially appreciate the investment that the staff (all levels) makes in developing and maintaining relationships with the residents. For my Mom, who has mid-stage dementia, this continuity of daily relationships is a key feature of making her life as pleasant and meaningful as possible. Especially during the recent period when a few COVID-19 cases were in the facility and residents were confined to rooms, staff made extra efforts to touch Moms daily living and care for her. They communicated with us well during Mom’s bout with COVID-19 and helped smooth the process of getting her to and from the hospital when she became dehydrated. We have developed a lot of trust in their engagement with and caring for Mom, being grateful for their accessibility and readiness to communicate with us whenever we need it. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Cathy, Don's daughter 2021-02-07 My father was a resident for about 7 months. He turned 98 while there and his body was failing but his mind was sharp to the very end. The staff at Story Point were all very compassionate, caring and competent. The innovative activities and celebrations they planned were enjoyed by Dad and helped to keep him happy and engaged. The daily exercise sessions helped his body and he enjoyed engaging with the staff and other residents during these sessions. Dad enjoyed the food and liked having choices for each meal. Even though Dad was there during Covid, the staff did their very best to help keep him connected with family, through Zoom and Facebook meetings and via emails to us to keep us informed of activities and how we could participate. During Dad's final days, the staff was very compassionate and kind. Along with Hospice, they helped him pass in peace and were comforting to family members. I highly recommend this Independence Village-Story Point facility. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Debbie Arthur 2021-02-07 I will begin by saying, I have never been inside the facility due to Covid. My Dad was there from June 11, 2020 - January 7, 2021. Not being able to visit him in person was very difficult but I am very glad Independence Village fully implemented all Covid restrictions. I so appreciated their efforts to keep families involved by sending us pictures of Dad and doing extensive posts on Facebook. These really helped to lessen the pain of not seeing Dad face to face. The activities they do with the residents are amazing and constant. You can’t help but smile and be happy that your loved one is so entertained. It really helps to fill their days. It also gave me something to talk to Dad about and let him know that I was still part of his life. The staff is very caring and helpful to both the residents and family members. The rooms always appeared clean and tidy as I peered in the window. Dad really enjoyed the food. He spoke highly of the variety, taste and appearance of his meals. All in all Dad’s experience at Independence Village was very positive. I only wish I could have gone inside and seen it in person. I don’t regret that because I know they were doing everything they could to keep the virus out and the residents safe and they did exactly that. A top notch facility! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

bossis 2021-01-28 The facilities are very clean and neat. Staff washes dad’s sheets and clothes regularly as needed. The room is comfortably large, and the high ceiling helps to make it feel less closed in. Windows to the outside are large as well, and offer the opportunity to be opened (they are screened). Residents have wardrobes in place of closets. Bath is fully equipped for the needs of the handicapped, and a sink with mirror, cupboards and a mini refrigerator complete the layout. Staff members have been very kind and considerate of dad. They also have had to respond to increased requests for information from family due to the COVID lockdown there, and have really worked hard to do so. Dad loves the ice cream truck, and the fun things the social director arranges to keep up his spirits and those of the other residents there. I haven’t been privy to many of the other amenities offered due to the lockdown, but I did appreciate being allowed to visit with dad in person for his first seven days there even during lockdown (after having a negative test for COVID). Dad aldd see o went on a drive in the community van to see the Christmas lights downtown once. They have a very extensive staff, and a specific breakdown for care - stage related. In comparison to other similar facilities, they are more expensive, but you get support from many different staff members who focus on specific needs - social/emotional, physical, and administrative. This seems to work smoothly. Things I wish they had: a bigger garden area - dad loves the outdoors. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

MD3 2019-09-24 Have had a family member here for a couple of years and am glad we made this choice. Very clean (cleaning staff is very pleasant too & friendly with the residents), comfortable & nicely decorated, like that the assisted living section is limited to about 25 residents (more personal), staff is very caring & friendly!! Lots of activities for those residents that want to participate - crafts, trivia games, bingo, outings, a variety of musical entertainment, puzzles, etc p. Activities Director Katie is the best - she is always upbeat & kind to the residents!! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

There are many activities my can can choose to participate in and they are geared to meet everyone’s needs My dad’s room is spacious and cleaned weekly. The meals are served like a family community not a cafeteria and the set up is quaint. My dad loves the food and looks forward to dessert. My dad has been on several outings to Dow Gardens and the canopy walk. He has also been on lunch trips and trips around the city. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Shirley164423 2017-03-30 I visited Independence Village. Their price was too high. It was very nice, and I like it, but I couldn't pay like $5000 or $6000 a month. It wouldn't take long to use up your savings. The room was very nice. I like it. It almost hooked me, but I can't afford to pay that much every month. We had lunch there, and the food was very good. Overall, it was a very nice place. It was very clean. They had nice a library. The activities were very nice too. I visited this facility

Lorin708365 2016-12-13 My mom moved in to Independence Village of Midland. It's a nice facility with independent living, assisted living, and memory care. It's really nice and clean, and the staff is attentive and meets our needs just fine. They have exercise, music, recitals, discussion groups, and movie nights. The food isn't great, but it's decent. The dining area is right off the activity area and is very well-kept, there are lots of windows around, and it is a nice place to sit and eat. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

slovakiasteph 2012-07-27 The facility is clean, entryway is bright, and staff seemed friendly. There was no one in the office when I arrived because it was a little past the office hours. I walked down the hallway to visit my friend and saw a resident or two headed toward the dining hall which is in the main area.My friend and I had dinner in the dining room. The food was average-- good choices, but most of it tasted processed. We had a drink with our salad/soup, then the main course, then dessert, which was cake or a fruit salad. The servers seem to be high schoolers but were polite and a few knew my friend by name. Our server was quick and friendly but didn't seem especially engaged, although she did smile. My friend seems pleased with the service there and makes use of the recreational activities and outings offered occasionally. It's more of a community for her as she's friends with several residents there. I am a friend or relative of a resident

BCasey 2020-12-22 I cannot recommend Independence village of Midland highly enough. When widowed, my mother needed more social support than she could get living in her former house... but wanted to retain her independence. For our family, Independence Village of Midland has been a perfect solution. I have been so impressed with the entire staff there. Every staff member, from the front desk to the chef, and everyone in between, always greet my mother by name and inquire after her wellbeing. Mom says this is a daily event and not just for show when visitors arrive. The activities coordinator and staff have really gone above and beyond to arrange appropriately socially distanced activities to keep the residents engaged (safely) during Covid. Not a day goes by that mother doesn't mention a "Santa Parade", a "circus event" in the hallway, or a "dress up like your favorite team" day. I have also been exceptionally impressed by the professionalism of the staff as regards medical events [which are inevitable with so many seniors]. On site "Teal" care providers can evaluate a resident who isn't feeling well and help make a determination whether a higher level of care is needed. Allison, the amazing director of Midland's IV site has a nursing background... and has really owned the responsibility of providing a safe-as-possible environment for the residents during the Covid Pandemic. The professionalism of the community is apparent in her communication to residents, families and staff about the changing Covid guidelines and the steps the village takes daily to ensure the safety of their residents. Because of Allison's leadership, and her exceptional staff, mom is supported personally, socially, medically and in activities of daily living, if needed. While she does not currently require additional medical support... there is comfort in the "continuity of care" model at IV. When community members need more support, they can receive additional services in their rooms for a fee, or be transferred a higher level of care at the nursing home on site. While the organization and leadership are impressive, it is the smiling people that make IV a community and a home. The staff are cheerful and accommodating, the residents are caring and look out for each other. As a physician, I am relieved that my mother has attentive medical resources at IV, as a daughter, I feel the community is the premier place for eldercare in Midland.

bkarenl 2019-09-10 Great staff, friendly and kind, many menu options, activities for all interests, clean and welcoming environment. My parent is very happy here and I know he is safe. People can choose from indoor or outdoor activities including trips to restaurants, apple orchard, farmers market, Dow Gardens, as well as music, painting, exercise, bingo, wii games, nature presentations, special speakers. The food is delicious with options for varied tastes. The chef is open to resident suggestions, special meals are prepared for holidays and other events. All the staff knows my dad's name and he knows theirs. Housekeeping is excellent and the grounds are kept beautifully. I'm glad he chose zindependent Village as his retirement home. When he can no longer drive he'll still be able to get around with the available transport van. Thanks for the great environment! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

a-visitor447368 2017-06-06 I was very impressed with the Independence Village of Midland. Their independent living section was extremely nice. I did not tour that much of their assisted living wing. They said they have done studies and that the ideal size for a room is 250 sq. ft. because they don’t want the residents to stay in their rooms that much; they want them to get out and mingle. That was a little confining as far as I am concerned. They had a lot more open activities, and I thought there was a lot more going on. It was a larger place for one thing, and the spaces that they have available to do things are larger, properly decorated, and a little better movement like the food area, which was nicer. I visited this facility

Patrick Smith 2021-04-01 The rooms are bright and functional. They all have windows to look at bird feeders and a yard. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They always have fun activities for the residents. The food is excellent. We moved our mother from a memory care facility in Texas where her cognitive abilities were in decline and she seemed quite depressed, to Independence Village where her cognitive abilities have improved markedly as has her outlook. We regard this as a small miracle. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

susan and siblings 2021-03-23 My parents have been living at Independence Village for almost six months. They get individual attention and genuine care and accommodations from the entire staff including the director, Alison, to the individual caregivers, the hair stylist, the hospice staff, etc. It takes a team! Katie, the Life Enrichment Director, has exceeded our expectations with providing activities for the residents especially during these challenging times. Chris, who runs the front office, is extremely kind and friendly and helpful with assisting us with getting my folks acclimated to their new home. Caring.com pointed us in the right direction with finding my folks their new home! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Susaneward11 2021-03-14 I could not have wished for a better facility for my mom to live in! We moved her in just over a year ago, and have been thrilled with her care. Her physical and mental health has improved since moving in. The staff is very communicative, using text, email, and phone to stay in touch, and helping Mom do video chat with me whenever requested. The staff there are constantly coming up with activities for the residents to keep them entertained and engaged. My mom has loved getting to help plant flowers, decorate Christmas trees, go to exercise classes, and even help with dinner when she wanted to do so. Her room in memory care is cozy and home like. I also love that they have salon services on site so Mom can continue to easily have her hair done. I can not thank the staff enough for all that they have done to make my mom feel at home all while keeping her safe and healthy! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Penny S. 2021-01-27 From the day we moved Dad in, the staff was incredibly supportive, involved and made us all feel welcomed. It’s unfortunate that during this pandemic we’re unable to actually visit in person with Dad. We have however been able to FaceTime with him and have window visits with him! The staff is always willing to help in this regard and is always available if you have any questions. His room is nice and clean. Television, desk, armoire and private bathroom . There are also activities available that he has participated in and has liked. He likes the food and has options for entrees. What’s really important is knowing that Dad is in good hands! They are attentive to his needs 24/7 and continue to keep us updated on current information. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

PatriciaL 2020-03-26 Our parents have been in all three levels of Independence Village in Midland. A facility like this is never any better than the staff, and these people are INCREDIBLE.

CaringCaregiver 2020-01-03 Independence Village of Midland was very nice, but they have no closets. You have to put all their clothes in the cabinets instead. They had residents sitting around a girl who was reading stories to them. If they get hungry in between dinners or at night, they have food there for them. They have plenty of juice and water for them during the day. They have transportation, an activity room, plenty of space to have a party, and a library. It's a beautiful facility. I visited this facility

Kenk 2019-09-18 IV has been outstanding at helping us navigate the transition of my parents from independent living through memory care. Staff is always accommodating and goes out of their way to help. Dad is participating in activities he would have never tried on his own. He really enjoys them.

Great staff, friendly and kind, many menu options, activities for all interests, clean and welcoming environment. My parent is very happy here and I know he is safe. People can choose from indoor or outdoor activities including trips to restaurants, apple orchard, farmers market, Dow Gardens, as well as music, painting, exercise, bingo, wii games, nature presentations, special speakers. The food is delicious with options for varied tastes. The chef is open to resident suggestions, special meals are prepared for holidays and other events. All the staff knows my dad's name and he knows theirs. Housekeeping is excellent and the grounds are kept beautifully. I'm glad he chose zindependent Village as his retirement home. When he can no longer drive he'll still be able to get around with the available transport van. Thanks for the great environment!

I was very impressed with the Independence Village of Midland. Their independent living section was extremely nice. I did not tour that much of their assisted living wing. They said they have done studies and that the ideal size for a room is 250 sq. ft. because they don’t want the residents to stay in their rooms that much; they want them to get out and mingle. That was a little confining as far as I am concerned. They had a lot more open activities, and I thought there was a lot more going on. It was a larger place for one thing, and the spaces that they have available to do things are larger, properly decorated, and a little better movement like the food area, which was nicer.

Memory Care Reviews for Independence Village of Midland

The rooms are bright and functional. They all have windows to look at bird feeders and a yard. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They always have fun activities for the residents. The food is excellent. We moved our mother from a memory care facility in Texas where her cognitive abilities were in decline and she seemed quite depressed, to Independence Village where her cognitive abilities have improved markedly as has her outlook. We regard this as a small miracle.

My parents have been living at Independence Village for almost six months. They get individual attention and genuine care and accommodations from the entire staff including the director, Alison, to the individual caregivers, the hair stylist, the hospice staff, etc. It takes a team! Katie, the Life Enrichment Director, has exceeded our expectations with providing activities for the residents especially during these challenging times. Chris, who runs the front office, is extremely kind and friendly and helpful with assisting us with getting my folks acclimated to their new home. Caring.com pointed us in the right direction with finding my folks their new home!

I could not have wished for a better facility for my mom to live in! We moved her in just over a year ago, and have been thrilled with her care. Her physical and mental health has improved since moving in. The staff is very communicative, using text, email, and phone to stay in touch, and helping Mom do video chat with me whenever requested. The staff there are constantly coming up with activities for the residents to keep them entertained and engaged. My mom has loved getting to help plant flowers, decorate Christmas trees, go to exercise classes, and even help with dinner when she wanted to do so. Her room in memory care is cozy and home like. I also love that they have salon services on site so Mom can continue to easily have her hair done. I can not thank the staff enough for all that they have done to make my mom feel at home all while keeping her safe and healthy!

From the day we moved Dad in, the staff was incredibly supportive, involved and made us all feel welcomed. It’s unfortunate that during this pandemic we’re unable to actually visit in person with Dad. We have however been able to FaceTime with him and have window visits with him! The staff is always willing to help in this regard and is always available if you have any questions. His room is nice and clean. Television, desk, armoire and private bathroom . There are also activities available that he has participated in and has liked. He likes the food and has options for entrees. What’s really important is knowing that Dad is in good hands! They are attentive to his needs 24/7 and continue to keep us updated on current information.

Our parents have been in all three levels of Independence Village in Midland. A facility like this is never any better than the staff, and these people are INCREDIBLE. They are loving and kind, and go well beyond their responsibilities to keep our parents safe and healthy. They work very hard to keep our folks active and interested.

Independence Village of Midland was very nice, but they have no closets. You have to put all their clothes in the cabinets instead. They had residents sitting around a girl who was reading stories to them. If they get hungry in between dinners or at night, they have food there for them. They have plenty of juice and water for them during the day. They have transportation, an activity room, plenty of space to have a party, and a library. It's a beautiful facility.

IV has been outstanding at helping us navigate the transition of my parents from independent living through memory care. Staff is always accommodating and goes out of their way to help. Dad is participating in activities he would have never tried on his own. He really enjoys them.
