What Families Think

Families generally describe Independence Hill as a warm, well-staffed community where long-term residents thrive and staff build close relationships with families. However, one very serious report describes a medication failure linked to a resident's death amid claims of understaffing, which stands in sharp contrast to the otherwise positive experiences shared by other reviewers.

The Good

  • Staff communicate proactively with families
  • Long-tenured, caring staff members
  • Residents make friends and enjoy dining socially
  • Wide range of activities keeps residents engaged
  • Family-owned with a personal touch

The Bad

  • One report of a medication error linked to a resident's death
  • Head nurse reportedly admitted being understaffed and overwhelmed
  • One reviewer noted declining food quality over time
  • Residents restricted to a single cable/internet provider, causing billing issues

What a phenomenal place to be! We have the privilege to interact with the staff on a regular basis and for years I have yet to see anyone have a bad day. I don't know how they do it! Beautiful location and the senior community is rather vibrant. Something always going on! We appreciate you Chaz!

I deeply regret the decision to move my mom to Independence Hill Assisted Living, as she tragically passed away just one month after her admission. Despite repeated calls to the Director, my mom did not receive her low blood pressure medication for over a month. The head nurse admitted last year that the facility was "overwhelmed and understaffed," yet this critical issue was never addressed. My mom’s death was a result of not receiving the necessary medication. She suffered a massive brain hemorrhage, which could have been prevented with proper care. The lack of accountability across the staff, including the Director, is deeply concerning. Instead of taking responsibility, they continue to blame each other or outsourced services for their negligence. I strongly caution anyone considering this facility for their loved ones. If your loved one is already here, I highly recommend moving them or, at the very least, installing cameras to monitor the care they are receiving. This facility failed to meet even basic standards of care, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through the pain our family experienced.

Independence is a well maintained place. Everyone I’ve dealt with is kind, caring, and extremely helpful. All of the residence I’ve communicated with show joy and happiness. I’m proud to be a part of this great place keeping people comfortable, safe, and happy. 👍:-)

My mother-in-law is 93 and moved into Independence Hill on August 30th of this year. We are so impressed with the staff and their communication from Day 1. When we could not open a Spectrum account, they stepped up and included her in their account so she could access cable programs until we could work things out. This only took us a couple of days but they were there for us and we really appreciated it. Independence Hill is NOT a sign me up and forget about me place. All members of the staff and office staff continue to stop in and check in on my mother-in-law and communicate with us. This is very important and we couldn’t be happier! My mother-in-law tells us everyday how she is making new friends at her meals which by the way, she is enjoying the dining experience too. We want to thank you all for taking such good care of our mom. She is in good hands at Independence Hill and looking forward to all the fun activities you offer. Thank you.
