Independence Village of Aurora

The nurses take good care of me. I like to go to bingo.

I came here because my daughter wanted me to be close to her family. I had some worries, about moving but I have a wonderful place. Everyone was very welcoming. I love all the activities we have a chance to do. Can say I am happy to be here.

Friendly, clean environment. Entertainment team works hard to provide entertainment and to keep us in the loop.

I like this facility very much. Very comfortable and friendly. It doesn't feel like an institution. The food is so great.

Staff is friendly, compassionate, and provides personal/professional care. It's one of my favorite places to come!

Have my privacy in my apartment but I can always get help if I need it. All the people that work here are always friendly.

I enthusiastically recommend Independence Village as an exceptional new home for your loved ones. They are dedicated to the INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT of their residents. I give presentations about the private lives of historical people. You would be surprised how many facilities do not want to offer this. Independence Village is an exception. They go beyond the normal activities offered to provide an exceptional educational opportunity. They show a great respect for the mind and dignity of each resident. This also allows for increased socialization and a forum to discuss ideas. The Life Enrichment Director has taken the time to invest in new ideas and opportunities for her residents. She has an intellectual openness that is hard to find. Your resident can be challenged intellectually at Independence Village of Aurora. I cannot think of a better place to call home.

I have performed regularly at Independence Villages, and all of the residents seem very happy and well taken care of. The dining room and the food looks amazing, the staff always cheerful and professional, looking after all of the residents needs with care. Everyone has a great, professional, caring attitude and they have many activities for the residents to take part in if they choose. I highly recommend IV of Aurora.

I enthusiastically recommend Independence Village of Aurora as a home for any senior. They are dedicated to providing a lifestyle of INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION for their residents. I give presentations about the personal lives of historical people. You would be surprised at how many facilities have no interest in these intellectual pursuits. Independence Village is an exception. They go beyond offering the regular, common activities and challenge the residents' mind. They show a great respect for the mind and dignity of each resident. This also allows for socialization and an opportunity to learn and discuss ideas. The Life Enrichment Director is dedicated to providing an exceptional educational experience for those longing to learn and grow. She is open to new ideas and opportunities for her residents. Learning matters to her-as well as the enthusiastic residents.

The residents and staff are so friendly and supportive of one another. They enjoy a variety of activities, including regular happy hours and/or birthday parties with live entertainment. Everyone gets into the celebration. A true community spirit is evident at Independence Village Aurora.

The two most important things in assisted living facilities are individual care and meals. I have both here at Independence Village. My 3 meals a day are exceptional and my day to day care by my nurses and aides is beyond what I expected. I'm at home here. I am a paraplegic.

I have lived here for 2 years. The people who work here have been very helpful. Most of the population are women with most of the activities being geared for women. Independence Village gave me the opportunity to regain my strength and feel comfortable in the community of Aurora. I.V. has done an excellent job controlling Covid. The administration has been very cooperative with supporting me.

I moved to Independence Village during the height of the shutdown for the pandemic. Precautions are taken here to protect everyone and we have still been able to live comfortably with the new rules. Activities have continued to keep us happy and alert which, to me, is very important.

It is wonderful living here! There is so much to do and the staff is wonderful when you need something. The menu options are great too.

I have lived here 4+ years in independent living with help from Laurus Homecare. I have multiple sclerosis and need help dressing and showering. I am wheelchair bound. Many activities provided here. Food is good. Safe environment during Covid. Staff is well trained.

Independence Village seems to be a clean friendly environment, rooms are up to date. My parents have enjoyed the food. Things are a little different with the quarantine with a limited menu but that is to be expected.

Just walking into the front doors was a thrill for its beautiful furniture and gracious greeter. The yummy meals are also good. I cooked meals for my family of 7 years. I enjoy the great variety from the shelf and the staff.

The quality of the food has gone significantly downhill over the past 6-12 months. There are many open apartments, however good food is one of the major attractions to a community, and until this issue is remedied it will be difficult to fill the apartments. Over the 2 past years, the activities department has had a lot of turn over, and thus, been struggling to offer high quality programs. 2020 has started out better--hope it remains this way!

Thank you, [name removed], and to your awesome team for welcoming me to your building. It has been so wonderful having an executor that you can meet with, ask questions, and learn more about the awesome amenities at Independence Village of Aurora. I will recommend this wonderful senior living to any of my clients looking for a place to call home.
