Warm, Friendly, Individualized Care
[name removed] spent over an hour with us touring the facility. She answered all of our questions and showed us that one only pays for the care he or she needs. [name removed] spoke to everyone on our journey and called each person by name--often asking about how their day was going. She made us feel as if we would get very caring and concerned help with anything we needed in the facility. After viewing many facilities, we rank it as our first choice.

My mother was a resident of over 10 years until her death in 2021. She lived independently and was extremely happy. She liked and enjoyed the staff and participated in many activities; very welcoming community. Currently, my mother-in law has been a resident for over 10 years - very comfortable, satisfied with everything.

A Place for Mom has scored Independence Village of Petoskey 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
