Deserving of 10 Stars! From the moment you are welcomed in the door you know this is the right environment for your loved one. EVERY staff member knows every residence's name, they take the time to speak with them and to interact with them. Not because it's their job but because they genuinely care for the peoples of this community. I feel this is in part because of General Manager, Shereida Radney's leadership. This staff interacts and communicates with one another as I have never seen before. The residents themselves, also care for one another and are very welcoming to a new resident. When my, very introverted, aunt moved in several people asked me "How can I help her be more comfortable?" "How is your aunt adjusting, is there anything I can do to help?" The whole community is truly a breath of fresh air! They really enjoy their Independence Village family! Outside of all that, it is an exceptionally clean, beautiful facility. I highly recommend you check out this community for your loved one or yourself. You'll be glad you did.

The staff here are truly caring and compassionate. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they genuinely care about the people they serve. They are attentive, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported. The cleanliness of the facility is absolutely amazing. The cleaners do a fantastic job keeping everything spotless, fresh, and welcoming. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it really shows throughout the entire building. On top of that, the food is great! The meals are well-prepared, tasty, and thoughtfully put together. Overall, this is a wonderful place with dedicated staff, excellent cleanliness, and enjoyable food. Highly recommended!

What a blessing! Our family lit-up upon arrival. The residents are vivacious and delightful. The staff is attentive and helpful. This is truly an all-inclusive community. Style, CLEAN, supportive, oh, so much more. The food, three meals a day served like a top notch restaurant and the food is delicious! Fresh food. We are recommending to everyone. And affordable. Everything is newly remodeled. The apartments are exactly what we needed and more. We never expected so much! We are so happy. Just to add on, my mother in law gets so excited talking about her meals, how over the top delicious they are. All home made. It is something that she goes on in detail all the time. Also, we check in on her often. She is rarely in her room. They have activities all day, every day. She is always active. It has been six months and we are still as delighted as we were from the beginning!
