Independence Village is like a luxury hotel but a warm caring atmosphere by all the staff spilling over to the residences! The food is marvelous and healthy! They are pet friendly. I've heard many residents, me being one, say they would not live here if they couldn't bring their pet. I'm so happy I moved here!

I have visited Independence Village to find a place for my mom. Upon walking in I was greeted with a beautiful entryway and a friendly receptionist. I spoke with Heather and she was very informative, and let me talk with the staff and see a few room options. Everyone was so friendly and the rooms were bright and clean. We encountered the maintenance man, Ken, and he was so friendly and assured me that if there was ever an issue, he would be right there to address it. I feel very confident about my mom staying there while maintaining her independence.

Our first visit started with Heather, Pearl, and Sharon. They took the time and answered all of our questions. I appreciated their experience and honesty. This was a big decision. I have to say that all of the staff (cleaning, maintenance, RA's, and dining) are always so patient and kind, and I feel confident that my Dad (Carl) is receiving the best possible care. They are truly exceptional and nothing is ever too much trouble. The facility is always clean, bright, and welcoming. The building even smells good! The dining staff really took the time to find my Dad the perfect "table mates." :). There are so many fun activities to choose from. The communication is phenomenal. The food is exceptional. My Dad loves going down to the dining room for his meals. The buffets that they put on once a month are truly a creative tasty culinary experience. Independence Village feels like a warm and inviting home . . . not just a place to live. I feel like my Dad gave the best compliment when he says if he can’t be at his own home, this is the next best place. I am so grateful for the peace of mind that this facility provides. Independence Village is a true blessing for our family.

Mom and Dad (Dick and Jackie) are staying here while Mom recouperates. Everyone is SO nice, genuinely caring, helpful, kind and warm. Judy even asked if we could sing some a cappella things after Charlie played the piano. We obliged and fun was had by all. And by the way, the food is GREAT ) compliments to chef Mike!) and there are always things to do. No wonder Independence Village is so highly awarded.
