Independence Village in Aurora, Ohio has a caring and professional staff. They offer my mother and our family so much care and peace of mind! They really care about their residents and their happiness and welfare!

We are beyond thrilled with Independence Village. Not only is the facility beautiful but the kind, attentive staff really make supporting your loved one their #1 priority. There is no shortage of fun activites (parties, outings, special events) and it seems there is something for everyone regardless of your personal interests. We feel so lucky to have our loved one here and in the care of Independence Village.

The service level of the staff and leadership is excellent. When you walk in, it is such a pleasure to see the smiles on both the residents and the employees faces. It feels like walking into the lobby of a hotel! We have been beyond pleased with the facility, the activities, food, and genuine care from all. The courtyard is such an added amenity. Our family is always recognized and welcomed by the team every visit.

As soon as you walk in the front doors, you see a beautiful, clean building and a caring staff! My parents have been residents since December, 2021. Best decision we made! They have everything to keep the residents happy, busy and entertained! Delicious food in a beautiful dining room! 1 and 2 bedroom apartments which are perfect for the elderly!

Wonderful people. Excellent food. Plenty of activities. Lots of extras such as transportation for shopping and medical appointments. Dad loves it there.

Independence Village is the perfect place for my active and social parents. The apartments and facility are very clean, pleasant and have a homey atmosphere. The entire staff is consistenly helpful and friendly to residents and guests alike. They are accomodating to individual needs and regularly invite input from and provide information to the residents. The dining experience is more like a restaurant than a "facility" with food prepared on site by a chef. A variety of choices are available at each meal and frequent special food events are fun and amazing. Activities are also frequent, varied and engaging. The beautiful courtyard and indoor gathering places make socialization easily accessible. The location in Aurora is quaint and convenient to shopping and community amenities.

I thought the Independence Village of Aurora was beautiful. It was very well laid out, I love the activities that they offer, and I love that they fill the gap between the clients' needs so they don't have to go into assisted living. They provided assistance to keep them and their independent apartment arrangement as long as they could. We saw their independent living and the staff was very courteous, friendly, very nice, very helpful, and answered all of our questions. They had a library, a game room, an entertainment room where they play music, and an area where they do exercises with them. They had a breakfast bar area, and then, of course, the dining room. There are outside venues for movies and concerts during the summer too. For activities, they have a game room, a pool table, and movie nights.

The overall feel of Independence Village of Aurora matched well with my parents' needs. The person who gave us the tour did an excellent job, and we thought the apartments were very good. Their dining areas were restaurant-like and the food was quite good too. They have multiple things that happen daily, from exercises to bingo to virtual visits to different countries. So, it's quite excellent.

Every staff member I have encountered has gone above and beyond. The facility is always clean. The staff is always willing to help. They have very cool activities. I would and have recommended this facility to everyone. My dad's rooms are very nice and the courtyard is a wonderful asset and beautiful to look at and be in.

All of the staff at Independence Village has done a tremendous job at making this transition for my mom as efficient and emotionally successful as possible, especially when it was a quick decision after a medical emergency. The facility is immaculately clean and everybody is very kind. I am confident that mom is getting the best care and attention In portage county. There is an abundance of activities available daily.

My mother has been happy with her living situation at Independence Village. The staff are simply good people who are committed to the residents they serve. The community offers a range of activities such as: exercise sessions, mini seminars on health related topics, and special events revolving around a holiday (ie- July 4th. Cookout for residents in the court yard). My mother’s favorite activities are going to Sunday School and church services which are perfect for elderly folks.

We looked at several places for my dad and he felt very comfortable in choosing Independent Living at Independence Village of Aurora. He found both the staff and fellow residents to be very friendly and helpful. Our calls are always answered promptly and the building is always clean and neat. A meticulous courtyard with a walking path and patio is at the center of the facility and many of the units overlook this green space. There are many wonderful events for the residents to participate in throughout the year. Highly recommend that you walk in the door and see for yourself. Its well worth the time of a tour!

Initially, when my parent's moved to Ivil-Aurora, things were different. We were told of amenities that initially were provided, but as time went on things changed. Get in writing what you are told and what your expectations are. We were told, even on the "independent" side care would be available and provided. As my parent's needs changed this was not the case. The facility also changed and the "Wellness" program changed. It was a struggle to have the Aids provide what they were supposed to do, when they were supposed to. At one point the cost of my Dad's care package increased by 400%!!! That being said... The facility is nice and it used to be more of a family atmosphere. Corporate changes have changed the "feel" of the facility. The employees come and go, especially in the Wellness Dept. The dining has also declined. The facility is well maintained and the resident's do maintain a great sense of community. The resident's make this place work. We love that it is smaller than some of the new communities, but the "Corporate" mentality of employees is noticed. My parent's moved in Sep 2013 and have enjoyed the activities, community and I feel good with their overall wellbeing. Like all things, sometimes, bigger and more is not better.

My mother has been in Independence Village of Aurora for about a month now. We found it to be very open and clean and everyone seems very upbeat and pleasant, which she was attracted to. Everyone seems to be very friendly, and she's doing well. The room is very nice. We had a couple requests for a few very minor maintenance things and they were promptly addressed. The staff is great, very pleasant, very welcoming, offering support, and answering our questions.

Independence Village of Aurora was more expensive, but the ambience was nice. There was outdoor parking. The rooms were of different sizes -- the bigger the room, more money it cost. The person in charge was very nice. They managed to show me all of the stuff, but after all I saw and looking at the prices, I decided I couldn't afford it. They serve three meals a day.

my grandmother has an apartment here and we absolutely love it. The food is great they do tons of activities with the residents. The apartments are great sizes and they do a great job cleaning. The staff are all super friendly especially one of the patient care aides sally. she is amazing and my grandma loves her
