Our family made the difficult decision to help mom and dad sell their beautiful new home and downsize to a more manageable residence about two years ago. And while the process certainly had plenty of emotional ups and downs, we are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work together—parents, children, and even grandchildren—through the sorting, purging, and setting up a new home experience. We are extraordinarily grateful to have found Independence Village in Pella for mom and dad. While their two-bedroom apartment is certainly smaller than their previous home, we’ve worked together to create a very cozy, comfortable, and manageable new homebase for them. All along the way, the genuinely remarkable and caring staff members—every single one of them—have been astoundingly accommodating, uplifting, encouraging, and wonderfully resourceful at every turn. The entire facility is spacious, tidy and clean, beautifully appointed, and bright and cheery. Activities and programming are creatively curated every week, and there is never a shortage of entertaining things to do and places to go, all organized and executed by the crackerjack staff. The title of this review is not hyperbole; I fully expect to live at Independence Village when the time comes for me to downsize to a more manageable home. Every time I walk into the building, I’m deeply satisfied and gratified to have such a terrific retirement community so close to the truly amazing town I’ve claimed as my own since moving here to attend college in 1980. I give Independence Village my highest recommendation, and I urge you and your family to visit and chat with the staff and residents to see if it’s a good match for you as well. I predict you’ll love what you discover there.

Independence village of Pella is a great place. The staff is very caring and passionate about their employees and clients. I would highly recommend Independence village of pella. I also, met a new employee Christopher and he’s was extremely friendly. Thanks for the great staff.

The Independence Village family is the best way to describe all who give of themselves to others here. Everyone is friendly, thoughtful, skilled, and professional. Most importantly they care from the heart. They treat all of our respective family members as though they were their own. I have developed a trust in them and feel at ease knowing my loved one is loved and safe.
