My experience

Terrible, you have to pay extra money for CNA's or a nurse or to wash clothes, everything costs extra money. It's terrible. They don't care about the patients and care more about the money they're bringing in the cafeteria is horrible, the food is horrible, and it's been that way for 3 or 4 years, they say it's a bad place for seniors that need help.

It's not exceptional, but adequate.

Apartments are small housekeeping was mediocre. Some of the staff was very nice and many were very helpful. At the time I was there the top management person was not good. Nothing good to say about her and her attitude in 3 words after I moved I heard from a friend that she was fired and escorted off premises. Cost is high. Many residents fear that they will run out of money and then what will they do. Maintenance was very good. It's not exceptional, but adequate.

My parents like the other residents and the staff very much. They have not been thrilled with the food. But a new chef was recently hired and they are hopeful. My mother requires a gluten- free diet and this p

Independence Village of Peoria

All I can tell you is that my mom is happy there. It took her a bit to get used to the move. Now she is engaged in the different activities they have. She has complained about the food but it's because she is a picky eater. But the times I have eaten with her the food has been really good.

Would recommend

They don't accept Medicaid, rooms go fast so pull the trigger if something is available. Yes, we would recommend the community to other families based on the experience so far.

Review for Independence Village of Peoria

Nice place, prices are fair, needs better help not as trained or qualified as they should be. Should return funds when they say they will.
