Food isn't very good needs better nutrition and organization. Dinner time tonight was 5:00 we were served at almost 6:00 construction going on at all hours. For the amount I'm paying I think it would be a lot better

Misled about Care

It looked like it would work for my sister. Unfortunately, it really did not provide enough assisted living support. Plus, the only elevator kept breaking. I've moved her to a new facility

I really enjoy how friendly everyone here is and how they try to include new people. There are so many activities that it is hard to get moved in. I also am so that they allow you to have your pets with you.

A nice community with great residents. Just lacking in good management skills. .

Dining room is poorly organized as is the kitchen, meals sometimes take 1 and a half hours. Staff is personable but lack of serving help is part of problem. We always hope things will improve and it's up and down. Everyone says if the dining room was improved most of the complaints would disappear. I like it here but really think much of the employee issues are difficult to deal with and finding people for food servers jobs is a big problem.

Review for Independence Village of Traverse City

Mom is independent living and doesn't receive care. However, she has needed help cleaning up spills on 2 occasions as she can't get down on the floor. I had to go clean up the spills because no one responded to her request for help with this. Residents need a way to page housekeeping in situations like this. The food is okay but mom doesn't like seafood which they serve a lot. The need more options. I wish she could afford to have a bedroom, rather than a studio. This is a very nice facility and I don't want to let perfect get in the way of good!

Great Place

Everyone is very friendly! They are like family. My dad has the studio and its perfect size. Very accessible. Laundry is very accessible, central dining room isn't too far away. I would absolutely recommend IV of Traverse City to others looking.

Mom needed more help

Mom needed more help and Independence Village hit all of the three nags that were important to our family. Great staff was what put it over the top for us! Thanks to your service we were able to find this quickly

Happy with our choice.

For the most part, we have had very positive experiences at Independence Village of Traverse City. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The dining experience is sometimes slow, but the food is good. I feel my father-in-law is in a good place.

I haven't compared the cost to other places. We chose this community for the location, the cost, friendly atmosphere and it's not too big.

Review for Independence Village of Traverse City

My loved one is younger than the average resident but she's adjusted so well and we consider this place a true blessing. It's been amazing for my mom. Not perfect because there isn't a place that's perfect, but perfect for my mom!

Kind and comforting

<Name removed> was our main contact and was so wonderful. We found everything about it beautiful, comforting and the price was very reasonable. I wish Dad would have been with us longer to enjoy all it had to offer.

Warm and Welcoming - Highly Recommend

My mom's recovery from a broken ankle led us to Glen Eagle. They offered a short-term apartment with supportive care staff and accommodated pets. The studio's back door offered convenience for her dog’s needs. During her stay, my mom appreciated the warm, welcoming staff and the opportunity to socialize - and so did her dog! However, a couple of issues arose: 1. A resident above inadvertently caused a hindrance by discarding bread near my mom's outdoor door, making it challenging with her wheelchair-bound status -- her dog consumed the bread and briefly fell sick. 2. While the dining experience offered varied and delicious meals, my mom noted a shortage of her preferred salads and green vegetables. The tempting desserts posed a bit of a challenge, but no complaints! Overall, Glen Eagle provided a supportive environment conducive to my mom's recovery. Despite the minor inconveniences, the facility's amenities, caring staff, and pet-friendly policy made it a positive experience.

Your next fabulous chapter

My mother is currently a resident at Holiday Glen Eagle and everything has been great for her at this facility so far. The housekeeping for an individual apartment is fine. The meals are good. They offer a nice variety and also have a Chef on site. The move in process was easy for us. I would 100% recommend Holiday Glean Eagle to family and friends! We're very happy with them!
