Vendors for Arts, Beats, and Eats

This was a great venue for a craft show. Absolutely beautiful inside and easy to get to. Everyone working was friendly and hospitable. And the atmosphere of the event was upbeat and lively. I would come back in a heartbeat.

Should read “A Great Place for Mom”

The staff and employees are all very nice and friendly people. There is a lot going on and things to do if you would like. The other people living here are lots of fun and go out of their way to make you feel Welcome. I have been here just a few weeks and I have no complaints . The food is good, in fact too good. I have a few pounds that have sneaked up on me.

Welcoming and friendly

We toured about 10 different places to find the best fit for mom. One key factor was activities she found of interest which would involve her in community and not stuck in her room. While some of the others were closer, newer and a bit less costly, they didn’t have the personality that IVB has as soon as you enter the building. After touring the building and seeing the options for different care from independent to Enhanced ( sounds much better then Assisted) we chose the Enhanced side for mom. She gets med reminders and personal help etc. but still has access to the whole building, all activities and amenities it offers including a choice of dining rooms. She is on the 3 meal plan with breakfast in her room, goes to the bistro for lunch and for dinner the main dining room. Yes, this has been a tough transition but the entire staff has welcomed her, made her feel at home and has treated her with respect , dignity and a genuine sense of caring. She is very happy with her choice.

Her Last Few Months

We were finally able to convince our Mother to move from her home of 60 years on the west side of Michigan to a place closer to family. At almost 92 her health was declining rapidly & she would be entering hospice care. We read about Independence Village online & reached out to them about transferring our mom from the west side Storypoint facility. The staff person was exceptionally available to us during the entire transition process & so considerate in answering our many questions & smoothing mom’s arrival. Her apartment was freshly painted & clean, prepared just for her. It was truly the staff that most impressed us. They were so kind & gentle & respectful to her no matter her demeanor, bringing her food or puzzles or laundry, assisting her, cleaning, or just plain checking in. We felt she was so safe & cared for in these final 2 months of her life, & we are deeply grateful for everyone in this facility.

Sometimes It Takes A Village

I moved into Independence Village after the death of my husband. Everyone I’ve met, staff and residents alike, have been very friendly and welcoming. This has helped me get through a difficult time and I really appreciate it. The food is delicious and there is a variety of choices. I can always find something on the menu I like. I’ve been busy trying out the different activities that are offered. There are so many choices available. Sometimes though I seek the quiet of my apartment. It’s very cozy and it’s starting to feel like “home”. All of the staff are eager to make me feel welcome and very experienced in the areas I need assistance. Every day I feel more welcome and certain that I made the right decision to move here.

A new resident’s view.

Being new residents of only three months, I would like to give our whole hearted endorsement to Independence Village of Brighton. The staff and residents are very friendly and willing to help when asked. The calendar is literally stacked with several options. I have to keep my eyes wide open so as not to miss anything!

Would Recommend

what we like the most about independence village is the friendliness of the staff, and the support services that are available. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families, however, it depends on the level of care required. This isn't the place for 24 hour medical care

In the past few years, as my wife's Parkinsons disease worsened, it became essential that we find a very facility to enhance and improve her life. As a retired CPA, she was accustomed to a active lifestyle encompassing many. After interviewing multiple facilities it become obvious that IVBV would become her new home, Infortunately as her health continues to decline she has heen unable to participate in many of the offered activities. Nevertheless, the entire staff Continues in their attempt to find ways to assist in her care, The process of any organization is very dependent. on the strength of their management team. My. observation of the Executive Director, [name removed], and her team of directors, managers and playport staff. is a very positive. very problem. Supplement and always helpful no matter what the request. If an immediate solution isn't available For a problem, they will find a way to solve it. Their compassion for the well-being of the residents turns into friendships.In my opinion, that helps define the definition of community and caregiving.

Great facility, Management, not so much!

The care staff seems excellent, management on the other hand is horrible! They are very rude and condescending. Housekeeping seems to do a really good job and go out of their way to help residents. The aides communicate with my daughter instead of me because they know her. We moved her in on a Saturday and even though they knew we would be moving her in on that date, it felt like management had no idea what was going on. The meals appear to be good quality, she hasn't complained about the food. New management would be my recommendation. I'm glad we were able to find a home for my mother in law, but I wish the management wasn't leaving me sour on the place. I honestly don't know if I would recommend them or not.

A much easier transition than expected!

Staff is Great! Friendly, accommodating, as are most of the residents. Housekeeping is great and helpful and doing laundry of bedding and such is very helpful. I DO recommend this facility as a clean, safe, and comfortable home.

Review for Independence Village of Brighton Valley

The Independence Village staff were very helpful and accommodating, and bent over backwards to help us. The CorsoCare team that handles the care giving for Independence Village seems to currently have an issue with keeping enough staff, but they still tried hard to accommodate my father's needs. While no one wants to place a family member in assisted living, this place was the best we found
