Independence Village of Pella

My mother is an Independent Living resident and is very happy with her decision to live at Independence Village. She has reaffirmed that during my visits to Pella and our telephone conversations. It’s perfect for her. The staff is friendly, engaging and thoughtful. Also very creative and willing to go to a lot of effort for some great, fun activities throughout the year—checkout their social media and see what I mean. Independence Village provides lunch for my mom and that works great for he...

My wife and I toured Independence Village this past week. We were very impressed. From the upkeep of the facility, the options of living spaces, to the meal we were offered, we couldn’t have had a better experience. Even more impressive was all of the staff members we met. They were dedicated to the facility, the residents and totally made us feel welcome as a visitor and potential future resident. I would absolutely recommend Independence Village to anyone. We look forward to being a resident i...

I toured Independence Village for my mother and from everything I saw it seems like such a lovely community! The staff were all friendly and gave off the impression that they were happy to be there helping their community and its members. Very clean as well.

The rooms are beautiful, the staff are kind, the building is so clean, the food is delicious! They go all out with decorating beautifully and making it feel like a home. Daily activities are so fun and a wide variety. Considering that this is an assisted living, they do surprisingly well with high-skilled needs and end-of-life needs.

The Memory Care "apartments" are inviting, large, clean and lovely. It has all the feel of home. The caregivers were so very kind, caring, and so very helpful for both my husband, myself and family. The staff at all levels were very welcoming, caring and sought to be sure all the needs for him were being met. I'd recommend this facility to anyone seeking great care for their loved one with this hight-level of care.

We were at Independence Village of Pella last week for a tour. The place had everything in the building, and you could live with your spouse in all levels of care, even into memory care, so that was alright. The pricing gets a little expensive on the memory care part, but that's typically everywhere. We got to sample the food. They had a chef there, and the food was good. The staff were very knowledgeable and very polite. They answered all our questions. The food was very good. However, everythi...

Can't believe how lovely the facility. When I visited i felt like i was home. I had the pleasure of dining. I especially liked when the chef came out and visited with us explain how the meal was prepared everything was scratch cooking.

Sarah has been a wonderful asset as we are in the process of gathering information on assisted living for our parents. She gave us a very detailed overview of the program and a wonderful tour, including a two bedroom occupied unit. The residents were so wonderful to open their home to us. The rooms were spacious, there are a lot of amenities and every resident we met in the common areas had a smile of their face!

Independence Village, Pella, is a wonderful place. The staff is caring, kind and engaging. The communication between staff, resident and family is strong. The activities offered allow residents to be as social as they would like. The interior of the building is bright and cheery and the exterior is well kept. The staff, at Independence, create a family like atmosphere which is extremely valuable. Independence Pella leads with love. It's comforting to know that they care so much for our ...

Each time I visit my family member at IVP I am impressed with how happy all the residents are, there are so many fun activities with great themes that gives everyone something to look forward to. I love seeing all the smiles. The Executive Director is so involved and genuine, she truly cares about all of the residents and the entire community! The community is absolutely beautiful!

My aunt and uncle lived here about 5 years. They enjoyed friendships with the staff and other residents. When we visited, the facility was always beautiful, clean, and we heard of many social opportunities my aunt and uncle could or did participate in. Thank you for making their last years special.

I toured Independence Village of Pella, and it was very good. They were very nice about showing us all the different options for different types of rooms. We ate lunch there, it was delicious. The staff and everyone seemed friendly. It's just a very beautiful place. The lady that showed us around is kind of the coordinator there, and we had a lot of interaction with her. Then we would meet others as they were doing their work around there, and she would introduce us to them. They were all just ...

My tour of Independence Village of Pella was very well done and very thorough. We kept the staff kind of late with lots of questions but they pretty much answered everything we were concerned about. We were happy with it. The place is beautiful. It seems clean and organized. The coordinator, Sarah, was very helpful. The rooms were very homey. I like that there's a place to gather, but you also have your own bedroom and bath. There are nice big bright windows, too. It doesn't feel small. I apprec...

I visited to assess if this would be a good option for one of my relatives. I ate a meal with some of the residents, went on a tour and spoke with staff. In every interaction, it was obvious that people care, the community is vibrant, and staff is knowledgeable. I heard a several stories from the residents about how they came to Independence Village. I witnessed a variety of vibrant social activities, both planned and spontaneous. I heard about local parade to celebrate the upcoming holiday...

Independent Village of Pella is a lovely, warm, friendly, family oriented community. The entire staff is so very friendly and helpful. I am always met with a friendly smile and "how may I help you" greeting when I walk thru the front door. There are so many activities that are fun and inviting to participate in with the other community members allowing friendships to form. I am amazed at the holiday decor and activities throughout the community; how fun for the residents. I had to experience...

When looking for an apartment and community setting for my godparents relocating to Pella from Oregon, Independent Village was the only community that I recommended. The staff were absolutely fabulous in giving me a tour ahead of time, answering questions and even helping them in their move and transition. I'm inspired every time I visit with the beauty of the property, the meal options and the fabulous onsite activities.

From my observation as a family member of a resident, Independent Village is a top notch place to call home. It is clean, appears to be well run and the staff is caring and professional. The decor is very pleasant and there are so many fun and creative activities planned to meet a range of interests among residents.

Rooms are spacious!! Lovely views of the pond, (love the fountains). There seems always be activities to join in, from sing-a-longs, to puzzles, to adventures around the area. Pella is an amazing community, with outside or inside things to do.

During a time of great loss, we needed a very special location for our parents to live near us. Through our research we found Independence Village of Pella. Right from the start, the amazing leadership and caregivers were able to answer our questions, provide us numerous tours, provided thoughtful things to consider, and reassure us throughout the process of determining how to best meet the needs of our precious parents. Needless to say, our parents had been through so much and we needed a ...

Wonderful care and rehab offered. I couldn't be happier with the employees and managers of this facility. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen and bathroom offer the individual options to cook and take care of personal needs without feeling they are in a nursing home.

My parents are now in the Independence Village of Pella. The executive director and the ones below her that does resident care, know what they're doing as far as interaction with the residents. For the most part, the care is good there and the food is good. They care about the residents. They have a lot of activities for them, there's exercise for them, and that was another thing that I liked. And then they also have an out-of-house therapy that comes in 2 to 3 times a week for my mom, which is ...

I toured Independence Village of Pella and the person who took us on the tour was awesome. He answered all of our questions, and while he was showing us around, I could see that the residents liked him a lot. So, when someone knows who you are, that means you're going around and checking on things and stuff like that. I thought the layout was really good, but they're still in the process of updating some things. The apartment we saw was great. The room itself was like a tiny apartment. It had i...

Our family made the difficult decision to help mom and dad sell their beautiful new home and downsize to a more manageable residence about two years ago. And while the process certainly had plenty of emotional ups and downs, we are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work together—parents, children, and even grandchildren—through the sorting, purging, and setting up a new home experience. We are extraordinarily grateful to have found Independence Village in Pella for mom and dad. While th...

The buildings and grounds are well kept. They always look good and sell good. They staff is friendly and willing to listen and to try and give residents and their families what they would like to see happen. Mom's apartment is perfect. It was very fresh and clean when she moved in to it. We love to visit. Staff and other residence enjoy it when we spend time with everyone not just our mom. Mom loves it here. She loves spending time with her new friends, she likes the staff a lot and loves her...

I visited my mom frequently while living in her spacious apartment in the Assisted Living section at Independence Village. The friendly, professional and caring staff always have time to insure the residents get all the care they need. When walking in the hall I could hear the residents socializing, enjoying playing bingo or attending a program. There are many activities and enjoyable day trips provided. The residents can partake in whatever interests them. I know my mom loves living there and I...

My mom moved into Independence Village of Pella, and it is excellent. The staff are excellent. My mom has an apartment. For activities they have word searches, videos, movies, coloring, crafts, book clubs, and writing clinics. They have a courtyard, a vineyard planted in their courtyard, a salon, and exercises. The food is excellent according to what my mom said, and she is a cook.

Artsmilk

They have a kind and caring staff. The food and activities help fill the residents days with joy. The onsite management is accessible and willing to answer family questions.

My mother currently lives in memory care. I appreciate the bright, homey private rooms. She thinks of it as an apartment and seems to feel very at home. One thing she really appreciates is how good the food is and the variety. As her daughter, I feel a lot of peace knowing they keep a close eye on mom, as politely as possible. I also appreciate the variety of activities that they help her to be a part of.

Communication with the staff and willingness to go the extra mile has been exceptional

We really liked it and it's a newer facility. It's in very nice shape, so it's pretty nice. My mother-in-law liked it. The rooms are nice, and the living room is pretty big and had one fairly large bedroom and a nice-sized, eat-in kitchen where you could have a little table; my mother-in-law really likes that. The rooms also had a washer and dryer, and she really liked that about it too.
