needs a lot of improvement

Staff didn't usually ensure residents privacy depending on situation. I had many resident tell me things .management said about me and things that were going on. Wait staff also do house keeping and some days are very busy. The staff would usually acknowledge residents when they saw them. You don't get care unless you pay extra for it. Salt was not spared in food prep despite older population many with salt restrictions. Or any other restrictions for that matter including allergies. They didn't have many I was interested in.

Pros and cons

The change in company reduced apartment cleaning from 1x weekly to 2x month. And they increased her rent!! So she pays more for less services. Mostly she is satisfied Consistent staff turnover but long term staff are very dedicated. So getting repairs completed in timely manner is an issue at times.

Great Place

We helped our 93-year-old aunt move to Independence Village. She now has the opportunity to meet new people, walk to and from the dining room, participate in exercise classes, and enjoy the special events. The food is wonderful.

My loved one is currently a resident at Holiday Inn at Cass Lake and everything has been very good for her, so far. The staff is very helpful. The other residents are friendly and reach out to newcomers. The meal choices appeal to a range of preferences. I would recommend this facility to others.

I love it here. I live on the first floor and when other residents come by and I invite them to my patio and ask them to sit with me on my rocking chair to conversate. Everywhere I go I tell people about the community. I even pass out the telephone number so they can call.
