Excellence Exemplified

I cannot emphasize enough the tremendous care and support provided to my mother by this facility. Mom, unfortunately, was in residence for only a handful of months. She had insisted she be cared for in her house (fearful of "those places") until it got to the point we didn't consider that safe/sufficient. Once moved in, mom herself started referring to her apartment as "home" and stated she loved being there. The staff, from administration to wellness to custodians, to a person, where kind, attentive and caring. One example amongst many… my son and significant other purchased her a plant… robust and needing little care beyond watering. During an extended absence (hospital stay and rehab) the room was cleaned… expected… and some gracious soul watered the plant (even updating the sticky note with the date) for her. Again… I cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are to Independence Village of White Lake. Thank you eternally…

Review for Independence Village of White Lake

My mom liked the beauty shop and dining experience. For some aides, it was a calling. For others, it was not. The place was kept clean.

Very informative

Thankfully we did not have to put my father in law in assisted living, but after speaking with [name removed], several times, I was very comfortable if things would have turned out differently. [name removed] was knowledgeable, caring, and very professional. She has reached out to me several times, just to check in to see if I needed anything or if my situation has changed. She is truly a kind heart. I wasn't able to tour the facility, but I have friends that have their loved ones there and they are thrilled with the accommodations.

My husband is having major cancer surgery tomorrow and the people and the staff here could not be more supportive. They could improve on the food by offering less processed meals.

I cannot say enough about my mother's RA. She is a rock star. Her interactions with mother are specular and mom listens to her and has faith in her experience.

Everyone is kind and helpful. And everyone knows your name. Which makes one feel special. I am a very picky eater, but my husband could not be more pleased with the food here.

For the most part the service is good. It depends on the caregiver assigned.
