Independence Village of Petoskey

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.

We were very happy with our tour of Independence Village with Heather Nalbock. We took a video tour with her because at the moment we are in California. Heather was very thorough walking through the whole complex, showing us our choice for apartments and even showing us how long it would take for my mom to walk from her preferred apartment to the elevator. When I mentioned that my mom would love to see this same tour but that she didn't have FaceTime, she did the whole tour again and recorded it and sent it to her. Heather's warm personality and friendly manner helped us to decide with certainty that Indepence Village will be a wonderful place for our Mom in Northern Michigan.
