Recently being 54 I had to finally realize I needed to live in a Senior Facility due to physical disabilities. I finally decided it was time so I found Independence Village in Evansville which ended up making the best decision to move here. All the Staff are very friendly and supportive to me and my Chihuahua. I love it that they treat my dog like family too.<br>A couple weeks ago I realized that the facility checks on us residents to make sure we are doing ok. They called me one afternoon to find out where I was because I didn’t showed up for breakfast and told them I am just at sisters house. They had everyone looking for me.<br>Another thing I like about this place is that I had to be taken to the ER leaving my dog in my apartment so I asked Staff to check on my dog and take her out so Marissa, Forest and Bill came to my apartment and was very careful with her putting her on a leash and taking her for a walk. I really appreciate that because it makes me feel the staff is willing to go the extra mile to help us when needed

I’ve personally not had a loved one live here but I’ve visited the property a few times and each time they have made improvements to ensure the residents have a beautiful safe place to live. You can tell the staff care and the ownership is committed to investing in the property.

Independence Village has been the best place for our family’s peace of mind! My dad has lived there almost four years now. The staff really cares for the residents. They go the extra mile-200%. Everyone plays such an important part of making this facility run and be successful-even when challenges are put in front of them of them
