This is a very clean community, staff are great to work with and I appreciate all of their help while my husband was a resident here. Life Enrichment does a great job planning activities for all residents and so nice to have all the therapies onsite as well.

A bright welcoming home like community with room for improvement
My parents have recently become part of this community. As a family member I am pleased with the overall appearance and atmosphere of Independence Village in Ankeny, IA. The facility is bright, open and filled with natural light, giving it a warm, welcoming feeling. It is clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere feels comfortable and homey. The living apartments are spacious, recently remodeled with nice neutral flooring and colors. They provide a pleasant, inviting space for residents to feel at home. The dining room is also clean, attractive and adequately accommodates the community. Adding soft music during dining would add a lot. The staff members I have encountered have been friendly and welcoming, which adds to a positive atmosphere. There is noticeable turnover of staff. Consistency is important in assisted-living, as building relationships, and becoming familiar with resident’s Individual needs can make a significant difference in their comfort and quality of care.

It wasn't a great experience. He didn't take not need to be in memory care, his physician even said he didn't. They refused to move him out. I'm sure because they were making [removed] a month from him. He was far too high functioning to be stuck in there all day. We would go multiple times a week and each time all the staff were just sitting around in a group talking to each other instead of doing things to actually keep the residents occupied.

Independence in Ankeny Has Delivered Better Than Expected And It's Home
The staff is amazing & my mom has been wonderfully cared for. She says the food is hit or miss but there has been a few chefs since she got there. The cleanliness is off the charts in fact my mom just got moved into a newly remodeled apartment that is stunning. The staff is very friendly & helpful. The only downside is there has been a lot of turnover but I feel like that happens at all facilities.

Sincere Care
My aunt has lived at Independence Village in Ankeny for almost two years. After a short adjustment period, she has settled in. She has gotten to know the staff & they have gotten to know her. I'm most impressed with the sincere care given to each individual by the entire staff. The caregivers see each resident several times throughout the day. Early this year, when a health issue arose, the nurse was notified. She notified me right away. Her guidance was thoughtful, knowledgeable & helpful beyond measure. The cleaning & maintenance staff work together. The apartments & building are clean. The chef is attentive to the residents. Meals are delicious & served with polite care. The residents are treated to a "food tasting" as seasonal menus change. The activities are plentiful & tailored to the residents interests. The receptionist & administrative staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful & caring. My aunt is living comfortably & safely. Our experience has been good.

From the first time we toured Independence Village over 3 years ago, we knew it was the place for mom. The facility is beautiful, the rooms are generously sized, but the staff beyond compare!

The administration turnover is quite high. The food is prepared by a cook, not a chef. If your loved one requires special care, make sure you're checking up on it. My mother required special care for wounds and was not receiving it.

Review for Independence Village of Ankeny
The facility is amazing. It is very clean & the staff is very nice. They treat my mom so good. There has been a lot of staff turnover since my mom moved in one year ago which gets confusing & frustrating l. However when we have questions we get a response asap and the executive is working hard to get the communication running smoother. The aids that help my mom are wonderful. They treat her with kindness & care. My mom isn't a huge fan of the food but there has also been about 4 chefs since she moved in so her opinion changes. All in all Independence Village has a wonderful place for my mom with plenty of activities & people around to help her & she's very happy there.

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.

Independence Village of Ankeny offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Independence Village of Ankeny 9.2 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.
