A FALL FROM GRACE!
Independence Villages announced closing their Long-term Care wing which has been home to my loved one for the 7 years, as well as both my parents. We were invested in this community and the staff. The care team became like family to us. Unfortunately, the management company was not considerate in how they handled the details of this transition, including swooping in with a construction company with equipment and tearing up the concrete parking lot that created deafening noise and inconsiderate obstacles for families trying to move our loved ones. They could’ve waited a few days to avoid this added salt in an already open wound. I would NOT recommend this company for your loved ones! They ultimately don’t care about you.

Extremely happy with our decision!
We are completely satisfied with our choice of Independence Village! From the initial interviews, to the continuous welcome and caring. All the staff are very friendly and helpful! Mom was so happy for the effort to include her in the Bridge games. The meals are healthy and filling, no complaints on the menu. Mom and her table mates are becoming great friends. Mom said last week—thank you for bringing me here!

The staff are super friendly, helpful and quick to return phone calls. The kitchen staff is great at taking criticism about the food. Dad loves being served in the dining room with white table clothes and cloth napkins.

Did not appreciate the care in assisted living or the activities. We had a care plan that was not followed at all. Everything was very clean and up to date. They could improve on following the care plan they made. Probably need more staff

Independence Village of Waukee is truly a special place! From the first day I arrived, I felt welcomed and valued as part of a warm and caring community. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, making it easy to form friendships and stay engaged in daily activities. The staff here is simply amazing. They are compassionate, attentive, and always go the extra mile to ensure that every resident feels comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s assisting with daily needs, organizing fun events, or just offering a friendly smile, their dedication makes all the difference. The amenities are fantastic! The community is clean, beautifully designed, and offers everything I could ever need. The dining experience is outstanding—the meals are fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. I also love the variety of activities available, from fitness classes to social gatherings and outings. There’s never a dull moment!

positives and negatives
The staff seem friendly. However my mom complains about the food quality and lack of activities at the facility. Some of that is on her because they do offer some exercise classes and cards that she is not interested in. But they could make sure to have daily activities for those that aren't interested in those two.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Iowa’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

about Independence Village of Waukee

Independence Village of Waukee offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Independence Village of Waukee 9.5 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.
