Independence Village of Peoria

Nice place, prices are fair, needs better help not as trained or qualified as they should be. Should return funds when they say they will.

The front desk people are always very friendly and helpful every time I have a question. My mom is loving the meals and the outings as well. My mom has a one bedroom apartment and I think it is very spacious and perfect for what she needs.

Overall review is mixed. There was some really good staff, but felt too institutional. Well they tried on cleanliness, but there was occasional dog poop in hallway. There was mostly good staff. Meals were not the best. There was an overload of activities. That's not bad, I enjoyed them. But the constant reminders over the speakers in each room, were annoying. No quiet time. I'm paying less where I am now & feel I'm getting my money's worth at my new community. My room was much smaller. As I was leaving this community they were starting to add charges for previously free services. We could not sit around and visit while dining because someone else was waiting for you spot.

The staff cares about the residents and go out of their way to look out for them as needed. Variety of activities.

It's been a great experience for my mom and being surrounded by great people and making new friends has been life changing for her. Mom has been very pleased with this list except for food options. She doesn't feel like there is enough variety and the quality of the food is sub par a lot of the time.

Very clean and well maintained. Very friendly and helpful staff. Welcoming and has residents and staff from diverse backgrounds. My in-laws are in one bedroom apartment which is decent size for them. They are happy. Thy have minimal vegetarian options on the food menu.

My loved one is a resident at Independence Village of Peoria. The move in process was extremely easy. Communication with the family is good. The meals are okay, there are a lot more sandwiches served than I anticipated. Overall, I would recommend the facility to others.

All our interactions have been positive. Staff helped her meet other residents which we really appreciated. Positive 1st impression. Responsiveness of staff to her questions. Apartment very clean at move in.

I would definitely recommend them. I picked this community, because it was a good fit with my budget, and still has a lot of amenities I wanted.

We really like all the different activities they have for the residents to do and our loved one seems happy with the meals. Overall based on our experience we would recommend Independence Village of Peoria to other families.

This facility is very nice. The staff was really friendly and met our needs. I think they all did the best they could with the training that they had there. The front office staff was fantastic. The food was good, my only suggestion would be that they offer more options. It seemed like they had a handful of meal plans and would rotate them. A little more variety would be good. They had several activities, shopping trips, restaurant trips available which was great. The facility was clean and well taken care of. If we had a problem with anything, maintenance was great about getting it taken care of in a timely manner. Housekeeping was lacking a little bit, but the room was pretty clean. I would recommend them to family and friends.

I'm really happy about all the activities they offer, that's a huge bonus for my mother. She's busy all the time; she's a very social person so that works out great for her. I love that they have an exercise program and an exercise center available. They take frequent outings, she especially enjoys going out to restaurants. I love the fact they have care providers on site, even though it isn't "Assisted Village" they have Care Solution. They are the the reason we were able to have my mother here, if not, we would have to find a place that offered assistance. That made it reasonable and we felt that the staff, even though they weren't nurses for assisted living, they still have a front desk person 24/7 - which is huge to me. There are only certain services provided through Care Solutions, but there is a nursing staff on sight in case of an emergency. The place is lovely, they just renovated it. It's very nice with tons of upgrades. With all of those things, we are very pleased with our decision.

Everyone is really nice. It seems to be a really nice place, with a good layout, and lots of things to offer. The residents seem really happy. They always greet each other and us. No one looks miserable like we've seen at other places. It seems like everyone is pretty independent, just like the community name says. It seems more like a hotel than a nursing home. I really have nothing negative to say. Her apartment is small but pretty nice, and it seems to have everything that she needs.

I would say come take a tour and stay for lunch. The food is tolerable, not great but not real bad either. Overall I've been happy here. It's friendly here and a nice place to live. My apartment could be bigger, but I'm satisfied with it. I like playing trivia with the other residents. They allow pets, so I was able to bring mine with me.

I would tell people to come check the community out, have a few meals. The only complaint I have is the food. The food has too much salt, and will arrive cold. Overall, the food just isn't good. Independence Village hasn't had any issues with COVID. They are doing construction and I feel this should improve the community. I don't feel you get your money's worth at this community, however.

We have had no problem with Independence Village community, they are great. They have movies for the residents to watch and before COVID they would take little outings and have church services. First impression of this community was that they are very caring.

Staff of Life is a NON exsistent staff. You pay for this service...But NO ONE does their JOB. We hired them for 10 days, and they left my father in a chair for those 10 days. No trips to restroom. No help standing. One time they got him up. Then refused to get him back to the chair. CNA's REFUSED, and called the fire department. My father has passed now. He had NO QUALITY of Life in Independence Village. If you choose this facility, KEEP your eyes on your loved one!

Independence Village of Peoria is a wonderful place for my parents! We moved my parents in 2 months ago. They lived in another community before and they really didn't adjust well. They love the food and the staff! They have been extremely accommodating and wonderful with my parents. They have made a lot of friends and have had so much fun in just the past 2 months. They have a lot of great entertainment and other fun things to do. The housekeepers are wonderful and the kitchen staff are super! The administrator is wonderful and caring and has gone above and beyond for my parents! I cannot say enough good things about Independence Village!!
