Better than expected

I recently visited my great grandma and found her playing bingo, laughing, and having such a great time with her friends. It made my heart happy seeing her stay active, engaged, and surrounded by people who truly care about her. A beautiful place for your loved ones to call home.

We would not recommend this place

We liked it at first then it went bad. The cleaning staff was very good to us. The office manager was not so good. The food was not so good, either. We would complain about the food, and they would say, “Just send it back.” But how many times can you send back a warm hamburger? During a town hall meeting, I asked if we could have something besides lemonade and iced tea. She barked back at me and said if I wanted something different to drink, I should bring it myself. I had several conversations with the cook about the food being cold. He said, “It’s not my fault. It’s these young kids that are bringing out the food.” It’s not the kids’ fault—it’s management’s fault. Nobody wants to take control and teach these kids how to properly bring the food out. When we first moved in, they asked for information about the room. We told them there was a big round hole at the top of the wall, the paint on one wall was unfinished at the top, and I had to unscrew the bathroom door latch just so we could close the door. The doors were not hung evenly. They never fixed the holes in the wall or painted the wall. We do not know if the carpet was even cleaned before we moved in. Right before we moved out, there were three or four people moving out at the same time. We know prices are going up, and some people were charged[Amounts Removed] more. We also noticed the activity director who started around the same time we moved in left before we did. They were putting too much stress on her. They said the heat lamp for the food had been broken for over two months. It does not take that long to replace a light bulb. There were several occasions when I got my eggs and they were cold. I finally had to knock on the kitchen door loudly so everyone in the dining room could hear me and tell them my eggs were cold again. They looked at me surprisingly, but they knew what I was talking about. My wife ordered noodles with chicken, and we sent it back three times because it was cold every time. We enjoyed the residents, the activities, and the bands and music they brought in to play. Every time we wanted to see the manager, she was always gone. The one day I did get ahold of her, I was complaining about things, and she said, “Don’t get mad at me. I’m not the one doing this.” I told her she was in charge and she was the one I needed to talk to. They had a party like a reunion, and they had all these food made up. They spent more on the food pictures than the pictures of the guests. And now when you look at their Facebook page, it looks like they're serving gourmet meals, and they didn't have that when we were there, we had a chicken pot pie with a quarter inch, thick, something on it, and that's what they called a chicken pot pie. We would not recommend this place.

I visited my aunt, I was happy that she was in such a loving and caring environment. The staff went over the top to take care of my aunt and I couldn’t be happier that she is at a place that takes such good care of her. Thank you

I was impressed

A visit a friend at Independence village today and was very impressed with the upgrades they have made to the facility. I also had lunch, and I was very pleased with the menu and the taste of the food. As we walked throughout the building, I saw there were activities going on, and I saw that they had scheduled outings for lunches. I think this would be a good place to live.

Interesting

I thought it was interesting that they are updating their rooms and they have refreshed the look to their dining room! While we’re talking about dining room, the food is outstanding and the Chef [name removed] he’s very knowledgeable in his menu selections! The staff is very friendly and helpful to answer your questions or needs. As I visited my friend, I noticed there was several of activities going on, and I read where they was having outings to various places.

Always positive visits

Enjoy visiting my mother in law at the facility. She gets great care. She’s been there for about three years and has enjoyed it. Everyone is friendly to her and calls her by name. Anytime there is a maintenance issue or something wrong. It’s always addressed efficiently.
