Independence Village is a such an amazing community. The amenities are great and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. It has a lively and upbeat vibe when you walk through the doors with so many activities to enjoy. Im so glad I chose them. Jay took us on a tour and was so friendly and knowledgeable of the every aspect of the community. It’s clear she really cares and understood our needs.

Jay was so helpful in sending me a video to showcase the community and it really gave me such insight! I had no idea such a gorgeous place existed. I was so pleasantly surprised by how the community looked and the relationships I can tell are established with the residents there! Jay is such a light and anyone should feel honored that she is a part of their family members care/routine. What an amazing place!

Visited with my sibling and was surprised by how nice this place was! The community was so welcoming, all the residents seemed so happy. The facility was decorated with pumpkins for fall which made the environment feel like home. Jay, the staff member who helped us, was very knowledgeable and friendly.

I recently toured Independence Village while looking for a place for my mom, and I was very impressed. The grounds were beautifully maintained, and the dining room was bright, beautiful, and welcoming. Jay was so kind, informative, and reassuring throughout the tour. She made me feel completely at ease, and I left feeling very positive about the community. I’m so glad we found this place!

This is the place for your loved one, no doubt about it…. Jessica Carlson lead the tour for this facility when we dropped by to visit. For impression immediately walking into the building, it’s elegant, clean, menus/signs are printed in large font, things are easy to navigate and staff/tenants seemed very happy/pleasant. I was excited to learn about ALL the amenities that are included, as other facilities I have toured charge extra for additional services (laundry, transportation, meals etc). All in all, this is the best choice as far as affordability, cleanliness, services provided, friendly staff/residence, and excellent food choices/salad bar.

Independence Village has been wonderful in working with us. Bro-in-law signed contract on 5/5 to move in later in the month. He fell and broke his leg on [date removed]. The trauma left him delirious. They have kept in contact with us and are still allowing him to live there since his recovery is almost complete. The people are nice and helpful and welcoming and AVAILABLE! Food is good and balanced. Transportation is available. The residents I've met really like it there.

Jay at Independence Village in Traverse City was top notch with give my parents a tour, answering questions, very compassionate. She kept in touch with me since my Mom had a stroke & we were going through the process of deciding where she & my Dad should live. She also arranged for Kelsey from Corsocare meet with me prior to bringing my parents for their tour. Kelsey explained the services they offer if needed for care. All around great experience!

I have been going through the lengthy process of finding a place my dad is comfortable with and am so pleased with Independence Village so far. Extremely responsive to my initial inquiry, and quickly got me in for a tour and spent a lot of time with me. I tried to be up front that this is going to take a long time and not be a quick process, and Jay could not be more patient and understanding, sending helpful info and following up, but also never pushing. Just being available and informative. I really hope that this is where my dad chooses because I have had nothing but wonderful, warm, human-focused communication and follow-up. Plus, the place just looks perfect, the amenities and services are incredible...I'll put myself on the waitlist when I'm of age!!
