Independence Village of East Lansing

I would highly recommend Independence Village of East Lansing! The location is fabulous! The staff is outstanding. The gal that does the housekeeping is super sweet but does the minimum amount of real cleaning. The maintenance guy is terrific and the driver who works Monday through Thursday is very accommodating and kind. Lots of activities daily, meals are decent (according to my dad) and the residents are very friendly! The move in was easy, but we did everything ourselves. I could not speak more highly of the staff! I'm glad he's there and not some stuffy place!! Very relaxed, to say the least!

This facility wasn’t equipped to medically handle my parents needs. We wish they had been more up front about that. My parents really needed assisted living and not independent living.

The staff is warm and knows everyone. All of the residents I have met are friendly and seem content. My mom wanted to move in the day we made our tour!

The staff was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. I would definitely recommend IV of East Landing.

I was very impressed after meeting [name removed] and many of her staff members at Independent Living of East Lansing, so much so that I wrote a check of deposit on the spot! The two bedroom, two bathroom unit is quite spacious! If your loved one is ready for Independent Living, I highly recommend you check out IVEL!

The people who love here and the staff. It’s very pleasant. I have dialysis 3 days a week and I really enjoy the days I’m back here. I start to feel better and do more things with people. I’ve met a lot of new people. The transportation makes life so much easier.

It’s pretty nice. It’s enjoyable. People are friendly. Nice people. I like playing Bingo. [name removed] takes us shopping. The food is pretty good. The staff is really good to me. They are very helpful. My kitty likes it here too.

You have a very very good staff. The people that work here are very nice especially the dining staff. They go out of their way to do special things and they know what every resident likes. Very good service. There isn’t anyone on the staff that I don’t like. They really try and take care of people.

It is as advertised. You can be independent and everyone is really friendly and positive and they let you have pets. I like to play cards here with the other residents. I like the staff very much. They are always accessible and helpful.

I know that it’s the best place for me, the fact that I can have therapy if I need it for physical therapy. Everyone is very friendly. The activities are good. You can join in if you want but you don’t have too. A good place to meet great friends.

I don’t have any complaints. I don’t spend a lot of time in my room but I love to watch Netflix in my apartment. I love Bingo, the mystery trips with Bill the Bus Driver, and doing crafts with Kristin. I think if anyone isn’t happy here, they’re missing the boat. My kids also think this is a great place for me to live.

My husband and I live here. I like that I don’t have to do dishes. everybody is friendly I enjoy pulling weeds in the courtyard.. good group of staff, not obnoxious or bossy! we like the outings and ice cream socials.

The staff is friendly and efficient. I love to read in the lobby and like how they have a coffee bar every week. [name removed] and [name removed] are so creative and fun, and make excellent iced vanilla lattes. My family visits all the time.

I love this place for my mom. Her house got too big to live in by herself, so we looked for another place for her to live. We came in and met with [name removed](who is FABULOUS!) You can tell this place cares about their residents. It took my mom a few days to get settled in, but she has already made friends and participates in the activities. The staff is truly amazing. You can tell they love their jobs and they love the residents. I am so happy we chose IVEL for my mom.

My favorite thing is that all of my belongings fit in my 1 bedroom apartment. I love the people. I’ve made a best friend here. My favorite I thing to do is play Bingo 3 times a week. I love the staff!

My favorite thing is the comrade with the staff and people that live here. It’s like a giant family. Great playing cards, mingling with the staff, doing outside activities. They have a shuttle. Talking to people. Trying to help others that are having a hard time. Being active in different things such as the sing a long in the courtyard and helping when I can. Teaching people how to Wii Bowl.

I like the food and I have a safe place to live. I like the courtyards the flowers and I’m able to help water those to keep them healthy. I take a lot of walks around the community inside and out. I met some good friends here.

I knit and it’s my favorite thing to do. I am part of the knitting group that comes in every Thursday. I love puzzles and there are hundreds to choose from. I love the staff, they’re friendly and they just know you. They feel like a friend from the get go. They’re very helpful and cheery.

I love exercise class and bingo is my favorite! Especially the caller! I like everything I like the courtyards and sitting out with the flowers. I like my friends that I met here and down with. I love everyone here!
