Why Residents And Their Families Love Independence Village of Petoskey

After taking a tour and seeing the rooms and activities, I can understand the smiles on the residents faces! [Name Removed], the executive director, is always willing to go the extra mile for her residents. I have seen the staff walking the resident’s dogs on bad weather days, hooking up their televisions, and keeping the residents engaged in activities. Speaking of activities there is so much for them to do, exercise class, crafting, and happy hour to name a few. They have regular special outings the residents can sign up for, like touring the glass blowing store in East Jordan. They have an amazing maintenance man,[Name Removed]who treats the folks there like family! Anytime there is an issue, [Name Removed] is quick to get it fixed no matter how big or small. It is difficult to trust a place for an elderly family member, but Independence Village has my vote 100%

Met with [Name Removed] who handles the room occupancy, also met with [Name Removed] the Executive director, who was very informative. I also got to see [Name Removed] the maintenance supervisor doing his best to keep things running smoothly! I would have no problem leaving my Father in a place like this should the need arise to, it is a gorgeous place. Also saw lots of activities going on!

- Theresa T

I was looking at for my stepmom , what an amazing place and staff unfortunately with the care that is needed she cannot move at this time .

- Ann Marie

The staff are very caring and considerate of residents. The building is clean, updated and it looks more like a hotel than a facility. They have interactive activities for the residents, and happy hour with live music once a week. Everyone is very kind and I believe the Village is a wonderful environment for Mom or Dad to feel safe and loved.

- Anuksa S

To start off my son said. I want you to go see Independent Village for a tour. My remark was I don't want to stay there. My son said to give it a try gained room 4th floor with a deck and view. I have neem here at least 4 years and I have to admit, it was a good choice.

I came to the village on 2000 stayed for 2 years, then my daughter and I moved to Susan Lake. For health reasons I decided to make a move. There was no question where I was going. The staff is fabulous, I received a first rate welcome.

I couldn't have choose a better place to live. Everyone is helpful and friendly. The food and dining room was very good when I first got here, but the dining experience has gone down. Recently due to a lack of help. Dining room management is wonderful is and hard workers! I have late seating and they keep running out of food.
