I visited this facility

My mom and I recently toured Independence Village in Waukee and it was a very nice experience. We had arranged to borrow a wheelchair for the tour and when I went in to get one, the facility director herself grabbed one and went out to the car to help my mom. The person who conducted our tour was very kind and made an effort to get to know my mom as a person. Our tour guide also made an effort to introduce us to several other staff members who were also very cheerful, knowledgeable, and kind. The facility itself wa…

I am/was a resident of this facility

The staff here are fabulous! They constantly go out of their way to take care of any need that you might have. They are so caring and kind! The residents are equally amazing. It is a blessing to make so many new friends. There are so many different types of activities to take advantage of. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Living here constantly brings happiness and smiles!

Attentive Staff

Apartment size was bigger than most. The layout of the apartment gave space for a larger dining area. Staff was attentive and went beyond to help when needed.

Our family's experience

4 stars overall and this rating is due to a few things that I feel should of been handled before Mom moved in. We signed lease [Date Removed] with move in date end of May. I did a walk through of her apartment a week before move in date when I picked up the keys. I requested a toilet paper roller as was missing from holder, carpet to be retacked down from kitchen threshold to hallway as thought could be a tripping hazard, cleaning of the patio and tack screen on upper deck so birds don't continue building nest. I …

Happy most of the time

I’m living in a one bedroom apartment at the very end of the first floor. It’s easy to access the basement garage and the stairs. Additional storage for seasonal items and various craft supplies is available. One bedroom apartments are cheaper but lack a patio. I miss being able to step or sit out side quickly. However, the additional cost is prohibitive on my budget. I am never bored; there is a wide variety of activities in which I can, and do participate. Another plus is that half of my family lives close by. Th…
