Independent Village of Pella is a lovely, warm, friendly, family oriented community. The entire staff is so very friendly and helpful. I am always met with a friendly smile and "how may I help you" greeting when I walk thru the front door. There are so many activities that are fun and inviting to participate in with the other community members allowing friendships to form. I am amazed at the holiday decor and activities throughout the community; how fun for the residents. I had to experience some difficult health concerns with my family member who is under their care. They have been so good to help me with the information I needed for his continued care when I did not know what is available to me or who to turn to for the help. The staff was available any time I needed help be it within the community or by phone. I am so thankful I choose Independent Village for my family members care.

During a time of great loss, we needed a very special location for our parents to live near us. Through our research we found Independence Village of Pella. Right from the start, the amazing leadership and caregivers were able to answer our questions, provide us numerous tours, provided thoughtful things to consider, and reassure us throughout the process of determining how to best meet the needs of our precious parents. Needless to say, our parents had been through so much and we needed a comfortable, caring, and beautiful community that would embrace them as new neighbors and friends. The community is full of amazing staff who truly care about their community members and the extended family who visit. Our parents quickly began to enjoy their new apartment, which is fully accessible and roomy, which we were able to furnish and decorate. They were welcomed immediatly by staff and neighborly residents. Additionally, we were (and still are) greeted by staff who recognize us and engage in conversation. We love that our parents really get excited to attend Bingo, Grayolo coloring group, watch and/or participate in a game of pool, and pick grapes from the courtyard. They have a plethora of opportunities to participate in as much as they desire. It's such a delight to visit daily and see all the amazing celebrations throughout the month. Whether it's a meal or coffee time, the local chef creates amazing cuisine that our parents rave about. Not only do our parents feel at home but we feel we are welcomed as part of the family. A stop to sing with someone playing the piano is a welcomed opportunity along with chatting with other neighbors enjoying the rocking chairs outdoors on summer and autumn evenings. Sitting by a warm fireplace with friends, putting together puzzles in community spaces, and worshiping as a collective neighborhood are wonderful options available. We are beyond blessed with helpful staff who truly treat our parents and us so well. No question goes unanswered. What a blessing to have Independence Village in Pella! Truly, they are an answer to many prayers for us and our parents.

Wonderful care and rehab offered. I couldn't be happier with the employees and managers of this facility. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen and bathroom offer the individual options to cook and take care of personal needs without feeling they are in a nursing home.

My parents are now in the Independence Village of Pella. The executive director and the ones below her that does resident care, know what they're doing as far as interaction with the residents. For the most part, the care is good there and the food is good. They care about the residents. They have a lot of activities for them, there's exercise for them, and that was another thing that I liked. And then they also have an out-of-house therapy that comes in 2 to 3 times a week for my mom, which is a huge plus. The facility is beautiful. There are a couple of aides that are not as compassionate as I would like them to be. I've been to lots of different places, and I would say that the food here is the best I've seen.

I toured Independence Village of Pella and the person who took us on the tour was awesome. He answered all of our questions, and while he was showing us around, I could see that the residents liked him a lot. So, when someone knows who you are, that means you're going around and checking on things and stuff like that. I thought the layout was really good, but they're still in the process of updating some things. The apartment we saw was great. The room itself was like a tiny apartment. It had its own bedroom, then a living area, and a refrigerator for people who could still use it, but if they're not using it, it wouldn't be plugged in. It was nice and the most spacious room that we saw out of all of the places we visited. I went through their dining area too and it was very nice and clean.

I visited my mom frequently while living in her spacious apartment in the Assisted Living section at Independence Village. The friendly, professional and caring staff always have time to insure the residents get all the care they need. When walking in the hall I could hear the residents socializing, enjoying playing bingo or attending a program. There are many activities and enjoyable day trips provided. The residents can partake in whatever interests them. I know my mom loves living there and I have peace of mind knowing she is well taken care of.

My mom moved into Independence Village of Pella, and it is excellent. The staff are excellent. My mom has an apartment. For activities they have word searches, videos, movies, coloring, crafts, book clubs, and writing clinics. They have a courtyard, a vineyard planted in their courtyard, a salon, and exercises. The food is excellent according to what my mom said, and she is a cook.

They have a kind and caring staff. The food and activities help fill the residents days with joy. The onsite management is accessible and willing to answer family questions.

Communication with the staff and willingness to go the extra mile has been exceptional

We really liked it and it's a newer facility. It's in very nice shape, so it's pretty nice. My mother-in-law liked it. The rooms are nice, and the living room is pretty big and had one fairly large bedroom and a nice-sized, eat-in kitchen where you could have a little table; my mother-in-law really likes that. The rooms also had a washer and dryer, and she really liked that about it too.
