My mom has lived in independence village for 8 years and she has loved every minute of it. From the amazing activities offered by a wonderful staff to the wide variety of food she gets served every day. The facility is beautiful and well maintained. The best part is the relationships she has made with both staff and the other residents. Independence village comes highly recommended from us!

Independence Village is outstanding in every way, but the sense of community really stands out. The staff is exceptionally helpful, caring, and creative—they always seem to be willing to go above and beyond on behalf of their residents. This creates a warm, friendly, and safe community where it’s easy for residents to make new friends, to join in a wide variety of activities, and to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
The facilities are spacious and well-maintained and the staff are highly responsive to any needs the residents have for their individual apartments, as well as the common spaces. Communication with families is excellent; we always feel like we know what’s going on and that we’re welcome to visit as much as we like. We have enjoyed meals, games, and other activities with our Mom and her friends. We hoped that the move to Independence Village would be a positive experience and it has exceeded our expectations in every way thanks to first-rate facilities, a kind and accessible staff, and a warm and caring community.

What I like most of all about Independence Village of Waukee is it's caring staff. They really go out of their way to please the residents. They are so kind to them.
The food can vary in quality but most of the time it is excellent. They also have different choices. I have made meals based off their recipes.
The Village may not be as fancy as some of the more expensive places but the kindness and caring that the staff shows to the residents makes up for it.

My tour at Independence Village of Waukee was a positive experience. The marketing person that took us around was very, very knowledgeable, and answered all the questions. I had family with me as well. I wasn't just by myself, and she could field any kind of question. The facility had many positive things about it, and it was very acceptable. It had a lot of new upgrades. It's very clean and very attractive. The hallways were big, and lighting was great. The apartments were not not necessarily upgraded with all new appliances and everything, but the ones that I looked at were very clean. The ones that were ready for occupancy had probably been painted, and maybe in some instances the carpet might have been new. It was very move-in ready. I had a very good experience.

Independence Village of Waukee is conveniently located off Hickman Rd. When you drive up to the building, you witness a well kept lawn and a beautiful building. Inside does not disappoint either. The building is very clean, the food is always made from scratch. But the staff are what makes this community stand out. They genuinely care about our loved one. I would recommend Independence Village Waukee to anyone looking for a one of a kind senior living community.

A massive failure on all levels by new ownership and management. Parents have been literally in full lockdown in their room for 24hrs a day for the past year. Food was delivered in plastic containers and was late and cold. Absolutely zero amenities took place which is why parents moved there. They are so frustrated and angry they are moving out. Problem continues in that they cant keep staff. Last year has been a complete waste of money.

Everyone at Independence Village is so friendly and kind. They truly care about residents and their well-being - even greet my Dad (and me) by first name.
Independence Village offers many opportunities for residents to remain active and be as social as they want to be. My Dad enjoys using equipment in the exercise room, playing pool and socializing with others during lunch, Coffee/Donut Hour, Happy Hour or other organized events. Some of his friends enjoy flicks in the movie room, taking exercise classes, playing cards or participating in other activities.
Residents gather for lunch in the dining area and are offered choices. I’ve been my Dad’s lunch guest several times. The food has been plentiful and tasted good each time.
Independence Village has been a great fit for my Dad and given me peace of mind.

The staff in Waukee are consistently above and beyond expectations. They were extremely helpful and flexible with our last-minute move-in during COVID.

I was impressed. I had the opportunity to take lots of pictures. I took pictures of the lobby, the little group area for informal visiting, the movie theater area, as well as an apartment. The staff was very gracious. They showed me places like a movie theater or an area where they do puzzles and where they gather for visiting. They told me that some of the usual activities had to be discontinued because of the COVID. It was a very lovely place.

It was really nice. We liked it very much. However, it's far out from where our doctors and hospitals are. We have bad winters here and I do the driving, and I don't want to have to struggle too far to get to our doctors. It's fairly new, so it's really nice and clean. They walked through several rooms with us and they told us all about it. They told us how much it's going to cost and what things they could offer. It was very good. The room was very nice. It's new, so everything was clean, bright, and pretty. The staff were very nice. We liked everything about it, but we're debating whether or not we would want to travel the distance from that place to our doctors and hospital.

It was very good ... except for the food; it was not very good at all. The apartments were nice. It was a very nice facility. The personnel were very nice and very helpful. They provided cleaning services, which were excellent. They did not have an outdoor facility, a swimming pool, or jacuzzi. They had underground parking, which was very nice. The location was good. It was close to some restaurants and a shopping area. The staff was very good. The food was very bad, sometimes it was not even thoroughly cooked.
