Independence Village has been a wonderful residence for my father. He still is able to enjoy his independence as well as receive help with his daily ADL’s with the on-site care company. The dining room staff are caring and attentive and the chef offers delicious meals. The location is also very peaceful as it is tucked off the road. Knowing that my father is well taken care of is very reassuring.

Provider Response

Our community takes pride in providing attentive care and delicious meals, and it's great to see that reflected in your experience. Thank you for trusting us with his care!

Choosing the right place for my mom was a big decision, but I’m so happy with Independence Village. She was hesitant at first, but she is very happy with her life there now. Her apartment is lovely with a beautiful view, and the food is great. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. Even the chef will help her fix her tv remote if asked. The socialization and community have made a huge difference. It gives me great peace of mind knowing she's safe and happy.

Provider Response

The staff is incredible- loving, compassionate, and they take an interest in each resident. The apartments are spacious, nicely appointed, with plenty of windows and a nice patio. My mother’s was recently remodeled top to bottom; it’s beautiful. There are so many activities- if my mother wanted to, she could do something almost every hour! She loves the food, and enjoys eating with friends every day.

Provider Response

The community is very homey and well taken care of. My family friend is currently a resident there and she is beyond happy with this community - she loves all the socialization she gets, she has so many friends, enjoys the variety of activities, how friendly the staff is and how welcoming the smell is when you walk in - it feels like home she says.

I visited this facility

The best thing I liked were the actual rooms. They seem to have more room. It was less like a nursing home and more like an independent living type place. The staff seems very friendly, and the facility seemed clean and colorful. They have several amenities like a courtyard, a gym, a salon, a pool room, and a library.

I toured here. It's independent living, and it was very good. Their staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice. We saw a studio. We saw a 1-bedroom, and we thought they were very well done. They also offer 3 meals a day. They have a library, billiards, exercise classes and trips that they can do. I think it was a nice, clean, and friendly place for my brother. I was very happily surprised at how good it was.

I found one I really liked, and I intend to move here, but not quite yet. It was special -- very nicely done -- and it’s independent care. Cleanliness was very good too.

We found here for my mom. It’s a very nice community, and it's clean. They serve three meals a day. My mom has a one-bedroom apartment with a little kitchenette. They do have trip services on Sunday, and they also have some sing-alongs.
