Sydney went out of her way to help us get the information we needed and steer us in the right direction to make sure we are going to get the best care possible for my mom even if it doesn't mean mom will be able to reside at Independence Village of Ankeny.

We have just left after saying goodbye to one of the most kind, patient, and loving women. PHANICE has been taking care of my mom in memory care and my dad in assisted living. Not only was Phanice loving and kind in every single interaction with my parents, she took care of me as well. She always listened and would check in on family all of the time. She was so sweet and caring to all of us, and she used her great sense of humor with my mom in the most therapeutic way! The patience she has shown my mom is truly so admirable. I really feel that I can't say enough about the quality of care that Phanice has provided. We have been so very thankful for the love and respect shown to us all by Phanice and are going to miss her so much!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND CARE!!! Heidi Nettrour and family

An absolute blessing for my mom! My mom recently stayed at Independence Village of Ankeny for two months, and we could not be happier with our experience. From the moment she arrived, she was truly treated like a queen. The entire staff is incredibly accommodating, caring, and attentive to every detail. They went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and right at home. She absolutely loved the food, which was a huge plus, and her apartment was stunning—freshly remodeled, modern, and beautiful. A special shoutout to the physical therapists as well. They are absolutely incredible at what they do and provided top-notch care that made a noticeable difference during her stay. If you are looking for a community that combines excellent therapy, beautiful living spaces, delicious meals, and a deeply compassionate staff, I highly recommend Independence Village of Ankeny. They gave our family complete peace of mind.

A big shoutout to Independence Village of Ankeny. We visit many senior living communities, and this one is at the very top of our list for the exceptional care they provide their residents. Today, we had the pleasure of participating in their Kings and Queens celebration by providing a fun photo booth. All the royalty received printed photos to remember the special day. Thank you for having us, Mckenna!
