I have visited here while looking for a place for my grandfather. If he hadn’t needed a higher level of, I would have moved him in right away. The staff was very friendly and even invited us to stay for lunch so my grandpa could socialize with other resident, Which was really important to our family. The community is nice, And we truly enjoyed meeting both the staff and residents. My grandpa even said he felt like family.

This place offers such a wonderful independent living experience! We have had the pleasure of providing on-site exceptional therapy services to the residents for over 15 years. Having therapy services available within the community is a huge plus- it's convenient, personalized, and makes a real difference in helping residents maintain their maximum level of independence and allow them to remain in independent living. They recent remodel is very stylish! The staff is tentative to the residents' needs, which offers piece of mind for residents and their families. I would highly recommend Independence Village to anyone looking for a senior living community to call home.

I’ve attended a few events the village hosts for the folks who live there. The staff have been so friendly and warm, the grounds and the building are very well kept and designed, and the events were well executed and well attended. Be sure to check this place out if you’re looking for an independent living solution.
