October 4, 2022Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!
I moved here 11 months ago at 92. I had sold my lovely home because I knew, I would not be able to maintain my house and yard to my own standards. Soon after moving here, I knew that this is where I need and wanted to live! Both the staff and residents have become my family! I would need more room if I were to say everything. I love about living here.

I wanted to stay here.
I lived alone after my wife died. It was lonely. My kids made me take a tour. It was wonderful. I moved in and in two weeks. I told the kids to sell my house. I love this place. The staff especially {name removed} {name removed} and {name removed} are fun and professional. The apartment is a good size. The food is good and the residents are kind. Love the activities too.
Very nice

Friendly 4 star. Lots of activities.
Outstanding facility and personal
I certainly enjoy Independence Village. People are so friendly I would enjoy and recommend to anyone.
Love it all but {name removed} bananas it's home to me.
First experience in Independent Living. I am enjoying it a great deal.
We chose Independence Village at the time because of the location as well as the cost for the size of the place was better than some of the others that we looked at. Her apartment size was great, she had an awesome view but it depends where your room is, some look out into the parking lot. She complained about the food, she said that it was always the same thing and not a lot of variety. It has been hard to get things accomplished with the administrative staff and it has been difficult for me to get in contact with anyone which has been frustrating. The everyday staff were always very friendly. I would recommend depending on your loved ones circumstances.

They have a separate care team you can utilize. The hospice team within the care group were good. I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. During COVID we were still able to see our loved one, and this was important to us.

We chose Independence Village of East Lansing because it is in the heart of the community and close to the grocery stores, churches, doctors offices, etc. There are a lot of people who have lived in this community a long time who are here so it is a nice neighborhood feel. They were really friendly and helpful during our tour. They made sure that we knew that it was all about caring for people and the services, not about the money and that is very evident. I would highly recommend to others who are looking. Our aunt is very happy here.

It has been a great experience for my parents here. They have done a great job with managing covid so far. From looking around, I think this facility is a great value for the money. It is an independent place, but they do provide so much support and care for your loved ones.
