In Their Words

What Residents and Families Say

Sydney went out of her way to help us get the information we needed and steer us in the right direction to make sure we are going to get the best care possible for my mom even if it doesn't mean mom will be able to reside at Independence Village of Ankeny.

We have just left after saying goodbye to one of the most kind, patient, and loving women. PHANICE has been taking care of my mom in memory care and my dad in assisted living. Not only was Phanice loving and kind in every single interaction with my parents, she took care of me as well. She always listened and would check in on family all of the time. She was so sweet and caring to all of us, and she used her great sense of humor with my mom in the most therapeutic way! The patience she has shown my mom is truly so admirable. I really feel that I can't say enough about the quality of care that Phanice has provided. We have been so very thankful for the love and respect shown to us all by Phanice and are going to miss her so much!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND CARE!!! Heidi Nettrour and family
