I have been thoroughly impressed with the food at Independence Village of East Lansing. Not only is it nutritious, but it's also well-presented and tasty! What has truly surprised me, however, is the cooperation and care of the staff members. They put in an incredible amount of effort and dedication into their work, and it shows. Since moving here, I have become even more independent and have been more independent than when I lived at home. The staff and residents have made me feel welcome and included, and I truly feel like I belong here. Within the first couple of days of my arrival, everyone knew my name!... Read more

This is a lovely community. My tour went very well. The community looks nice and well maintained. The staff was kind and friendly. The only issue was the layout of the community. My mother's room would've been far from the entrance. This is nice community with kind people. Just not the community for my mother.

My mother loves this place after her first week. She had been living in her own home for over 50 years and the transition was hard. The staff and other residents have made her more than welcome. Maggie was great through the entire process in moving her into her apartment.

Director was great! Lots of energy,passion, and seems to really lover her job. Many things impressed me. Apartments are decent in size with older cabinets and bathrooms. Bright dining room with many windows. Price is on the high end for sq ft.

They’re wonderful! They’re very good. I’ve had the food there and everything is great. They have a beautiful dining room. There are servers for the table just like a restaurant. My grandmother is very happy here.

My mother moved from independent living in an over 55 complex to assisted living. She was not eating well, she was skipping her meds and she was isolated in her apartment. When she moved to Independence Village of East Lansing we expected she would be sad and withdrawn - it was a seamless transition. She has flowered - she has gained weight, she is participating in the activities, she loves the music, the movie nights, the scenic tours, trips to area restaurants for lunch. She is happy. She is well cared for. The residents and the staff are kind and caring. Independence Village has been a gift - for my mother and for our family.

After visiting several of the facilities in the Greater Lansing Area, my father-in-law chose this one based on his feelings of comfort, caring and cost. He felt quite comfortable in his new surrounding. He was impressed by the care he received from everyone from the front desk to the head of maintenance and the kitchen workers. Finally, the cost was affordable. He enjoyed his stay at Independence Village of East Lansing.

They do a good job with communication and everything. It was the overall look of the community, it was a little nicer and more luxurious than the others we saw and that's why we chose it. They are a pretty good community.

Unprepared, or didn't bother to prepare for showing unit; felt rushed throughout the time spent, very little info shared about what they offer.Snow on walks/handicapped parking. Several concerns with this site. Affordable. Very good location in terms of proximity

My father recently moved in to an apartment at independence village in East Lansing. The staff there is wonderful and have really helped with the adjustment (he was really reluctant to move). The people there are really nice and they have lots of social activities for their residents. He always tells me about his great meals and fun socials and movie nights. Definitely a good choice!
