In placing my friend at Independence Village in Brighton, we found this a beautiful accomodating, positive, and active community. The staff has been fantastic with all our concerns. I highly recommend checking out this housing option for friends and family members.

The staff and employees are all very nice and friendly people. There is a lot going on and things to do if you would like. The other people living here are lots of fun and go out of their way to make you feel Welcome. I have been here just a few weeks and I have no complaints . The food is good, in fact too good. I have a few pounds that have sneaked up on me.

The staff is amazing and the building is very clean and well put together, it is a very friendly environment! Everyone works very well together and always puts the residents first, I highly recommend visiting independence village of Brighton valley!

I visited recently and was really impressed. The atrium is such a cool space. The leadership team is very strong, and overall, there's a great culture throughout!

We toured about 10 different places to find the best fit for mom. One key factor was activities she found of interest which would involve her in community and not stuck in her room. While some of the others were closer, newer and a bit less costly, they didn’t have the personality that IVB has as soon as you enter the building. After touring the building and seeing the options for different care from independent to Enhanced ( sounds much better then Assisted) we chose the Enhanced side for mom. She gets med reminders and personal help etc. but still has access to the whole building, all activities and amenities it offers including a choice of dining rooms. She is on the 3 meal plan with breakfast in her room, goes to the bistro for lunch and for dinner the main dining room. Yes, this has been a tough transition but the entire staff has welcomed her, made her feel at home and has treated her with respect , dignity and a genuine sense of caring. She is very happy with her choice.

Such a amazing facility paired with great staff!

We were finally able to convince our Mother to move from her home of 60 years on the west side of Michigan to a place closer to family. At almost 92 her health was declining rapidly & she would be entering hospice care. We read about Independence Village online & reached out to them about transferring our mom from the west side Storypoint facility. The staff person was exceptionally available to us during the entire transition process & so considerate in answering our many questions & smoothing mom’s arrival. Her apartment was freshly painted & clean, prepared just for her. It was truly the staff that most impressed us. They were so kind & gentle & respectful to her no matter her demeanor, bringing her food or puzzles or laundry, assisting her, cleaning, or just plain checking in. We felt she was so safe & cared for in these final 2 months of her life, & we are deeply grateful for everyone in this facility.

I moved into Independence Village after the death of my husband. Everyone I’ve met, staff and residents alike, have been very friendly and welcoming. This has helped me get through a difficult time and I really appreciate it. The food is delicious and there is a variety of choices. I can always find something on the menu I like. I’ve been busy trying out the different activities that are offered. There are so many choices available. Sometimes though I seek the quiet of my apartment. It’s very cozy and it’s starting to feel like “home”. All of the staff are eager to make me feel welcome and very experienced in the areas I need assistance. Every day I feel more welcome and certain that I made the right decision to move here.

Being new residents of only three months, I would like to give our whole hearted endorsement to Independence Village of Brighton. The staff and residents are very friendly and willing to help when asked. The calendar is literally stacked with several options. I have to keep my eyes wide open so as not to miss anything!

The atmosphere is fantastic, and the facilities are clean. Our daughters love visiting, feeding the fish, and playing games. They regularly have fun events and entertainment. It’s one of the most spacious, high ceiling and great feeling care centers we’ve been to. Highly recommended.

Fortunately a friend recommended IV of Brighton when we needed care for my mom. Marie, Lisa, Stacy really helped me through the maze of finding suitable care with very short notice. The facility is very welcoming and clean (shout out to the amazing cleaning/laundry crew!) The entire staff at Independence Village appeared to be have a vested interest in caring for the residents. Also, if you love to eat, this is the place to be! I'm thankful for all the folks that made my mom feel at home, and keep my family in the loop.

My experience has been very positive. Friendly staff and residents. Would recommend. Yearly increase in price is too high.
