Visitors describe Independence Village of Pella as a beautiful community focused on helping residents stay as independent and engaged as possible. Reviews highlight a gourmet chef, top-notch common areas and apartments, a strong sense of community, and caring team members who greet residents by name.

I had a wonderful experience touring Independence Village in Pella. The facility is absolutely beautiful and has a strong focus on empowering residents to remain as independent and engaged as possible. The building, common areas, and resident rooms were all top-notch, and it was clear that a great deal of care goes into maintaining a welcoming environment. Sarah was wonderful to work with. She responded promptly when I reached out to schedule a student tour and was incredibly personable throughout my visit. As we walked through the facility, she greeted residents by name, checked in on how they were doing, and showed a genuine interest in their well-being. It was obvious that she truly cares about the people who live there. She was also excited to share everything Independence Village has to offer and did a fantastic job answering all of my questions. I left very impressed with both the facility and the staff. Independence Village offers a strong sense of community, excellent amenities, and compassionate care. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and supportive place to call home.

The tour was very informative. Reviewed all parts of the facility which helped a lot on how dad was going to be taken care of. Sarah was very professional, friendly, answered all of our questions & took plenty of time. The whole experience was very positive and came away feeling like this would be a great environment for dad to live in. Much appreciated!

A very beautiful place to live! Staff & residents are very friendly and welcoming! The indoor garage & work shop definitely a huge added bonus! Was actually very pleased to see construction going on as they are updating their dining room. Tells me they want to improve the facility for their residents.

Beautiful, clean facility. Sarah B was great. Welcoming and knowledgeable. Gave full attention to us and helped us know we are making the right choice for our loved ones.

This facility and staff are wonderful. Dad was a long-time resident in the Independent Living portion of the facility. He also had a garage in the basement for his vehicle. He greatly enjoyed the ability to come and go as he pleased. For many years, he went to "work" in his local shop six days a week. As he progressed in age, and his health declined, he was able to move to the Assisted Living portion of the facility. This was very handy for us to move him as we did not need to even leave the building. He was in Assisted Living for a little over 4 months before his passing. The care staff was very good with him, even getting him to actually socialize. The chef and kitchen staff prepares excellent meals. Being able to have on-site medical care was also nice when he got difficult to transport. [Names Removed] were very kind, supportive, and understanding during this whole process.

Our family found Independence Village during a very difficult time, and we couldn’t be more grateful. [Name Removed] was a complete God-send. She stepped in immediately, helped us secure a spot for our family member, and walked us through every step with constant communication and genuine care. Even after move-in, [Name Removed]continued to check in and make sure everything was going well—she truly went above and beyond. [Name Removed] has also been incredible. She is always available, communicates clearly, and brings such a calm, reassuring presence. She truly cares about both residents and their families, and it shows in everything she does. We were honestly scared going into this, but Independence Village exceeded every expectation. [Names Removed]—thank you will never be enough.

Independence Village is fantastic. They offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care living options in one building. The thing that sets them apart is the staff. The care team is outstanding because they genuinely care about all of their residents. They constantly go above and beyond to make sure the residents are safe and comfortable. My parents moved in about 6 months ago. Last month my mom said she has never lived anywhere where she felt this safe.

Visiting the Independence Village of Pella was such a lovely experience. They have the most friendly staff and great food options. They have so many engaging activities, the holiday specials they host were very heartfelt and wholesome. Highly recommend for your family member!

Independence village is definitely a village, they all seem like family, residents and staff. The care and the love they provide for the residents is the best. Not only the care they provide but also keeping the residents a part of the ‘real world’ . Creating activities/events that are going on outside their facilities. Providing day bus trips, creating a Macy Day parade, Mardi Gras activities, Super Bowl, any event outside their facility is also going on inside the facility for the residents. The staff gives their all!!

A few times the bathroom and shower needed cleaning. When cleaning staff was notified, they did take care of the problem quickly. It is pricey but fortunately, Mom could afford it. And I know Independence Villages was top notch compared to other places. Mom was at Independence Villages for about 11 months before passing. She thoroughly enjoyed it there and thrived! We, as a family, were extremely happy with this facility. The staff were very friendly, It was a bright, cheery place. Everyone seemed to enjoy working there. The food was very good, and she enjoyed several of the activities. My mom was a people person, and she really enjoyed making friends with the staff. She also enjoyed her tomato plants in the garden, the church services, hymn sing, Messy the Dog, and the other shows or classes. Between the friends she made at I.V. and her many outside visitors, she seemed to be very happy. We thank everyone involved for making her last year enjoyable.

Super kind staff and beautiful facility. very attentive staff that forms relationships with residents. being friendly is also unique and incredibly important to assisted care. The memory care unit is also a hard thing to come by without paying a fortune.
