Excellent choice

We are very happy with our choice. They staff is excellent. They are very attentive and responsive to any needs or requests. There are many activities to get involved in and extra celebrations by the staff. I haven't heard any negative comments from residents. Her apartment is plenty big for her and newly refreshed and all of the floors are being redone with new carpeting and paint. Very nice.

Highly recommend

My dad lived at IVEL for almost three years and was very well cared for by the executive director and staff. It’s very clear they care about their residents and are paying attention to their needs to keep families informed. [name removed], the executive director, is wonderful.

Inviting and friendly

I’ve been to this facility several times to visit my aunt. I felt at home and am excited to see the upgrades being made. She is too. I’ve met a few of the staff as well. Very nice and glad she’s being taken care of in many ways. Thank you.

Superior!

Overall this seems to be a good fit for me.. I would recommend to others.. If you don't need extra physical or mental assistance this is the place for you. 3 square meals, numerous activities, you can get a haircut and see a Podiatrist without leaving the building. Take their bus to Meijer to shop. Lots of birds and animals. I know several pets here. It's an apartment, not a 'room'.

Great staff and living accommodations.

Top notch staff who have residents needs at top of mind. All staff are courteous and go out of their way to have a supportive relationship with residents. My mother is very happy with not only the courteous staff but the great living accommodations and the extra activities offered. Way to go IV!
