Independence Village of Waukee was a nice place. It looked new, but I know it wasn't. They took real good care of it. The staff was helpful. The room was nice sized. It had a room for a bed, a TV, a table and chairs, a recliner, and a small dresser. It had a nice large bathroom with a shower and all the helpful things they have in the shower for older people. They had a salon and a nice, good-sized dining room. They had a place for the residents to get involved like folding laundry and stuff like that. They have a restaurant bar-type thing in there with snacks and treats. There's a nice small area for them to sit in on couches and recliners to watch TV. They can have a TV in their own room, too.

Mom moved from IV Assisted Living to Memory care late last year. She was very well cared for in AL, but the isolation was unhealthy for her. Since moving to Memory Care, she has improved both mentally and physically. We attribute that to the attention and care the staff has given her since we have not been able to ourselves due to the pandemic. We have had to completely trust the staff in Memory Care and they have shown mom and her family all the care and kindness that I believe they would show to their own family. Mom is now involved in activities and she socializes at mealtime. When AL recommended that mom move to Memory Care, we were hesitant that she needed the extra care. We are thankful that they made the recommendation as we are certain now that it helped save her life. The care and respect that both AL and Memory Care have provided mom is priceless to us. Every step of the way, they have kept all of moms family involved in her activities, mental well being and her health. We rest much easier knowing that the nursing staff and all the caregivers truly care about mom. I highly recommend Independence Village to anyone looking for a safe, secure and nurturing environment for themselves or a loved one.

My mom is currently living in Independence Village of Waukee. It's been OK. She would tell you that the food is lousy, but I don't know 'cause I've not been in there. She went there after COVID, and she tells me the food is not good. I think the staff that are there are good, but they are understaffed. It's within 10 miles of a hospital. They have activities, and they just hired an activities director. They're getting better from mediocre.
