As a moving company that frequently works with senior living communities, we cannot say enough good things about the team at Independence Village of Des Moines. Whether we are moving new residents into the community or helping current residents transition to different apartments internally, Tina, Joel, and the entire crew are a dream to work with. They are masters of communication, always keeping us in the loop so the move goes smoothly for everyone involved. Their dedication to making new and existing residents feel supported is truly impressive. Five stars for a team that really cares

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.
