It has now been four months that I have been away from Independence Village. This was my work home for almost three years. Some of the best years of my life. When I returned this past week to visit staff and residents, I was blown away. There was not one resident that I spoke to that wasn’t pleased with living there and they were RAVING about the activities and environment. Community living can bring a lot of challenges, both for staffing and occupancy. During my visit, it was encouraging to see that the community was fully staffed with caregivers and management. When I visited the memory care community, I was entering just as lunch was finishing up. The staff members working had created an amazing environment. All while cleaning the tables and finishing up lunch, they had Christmas music playing and there were residents dancing and singing along! Josie, a caregiver at IV, had created such a fun environment for the folks living there. They got the maracas out and were dancing and singing along to multiple Christmas tunes. It doesn’t surprise me that this is what I experienced during my visit to Independence Village but it’s always refreshing to see how lively an environment can be with the right people leading. Independence Village is always a community that I will recommend to individuals and family members of loved ones who are looking for a caring and fun community.
