I could not have asked for a better place to be as far as apt 33 and all the wonderful people.

I enthusiastically recommend Independence Village as an exceptional new home for your loved ones. They are dedicated to the INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT of their residents. I give presentations about the private lives of historical people. You would be surprised how many facilities do not want to offer this. Independence Village is an exception. They go beyond the normal activities offered to provide an exceptional educational opportunity. They show a great respect for the mind and dignity of each resident. This also allows for increased socialization and a forum to discuss ideas. The Life Enrichment Director has taken the time to invest in new ideas and opportunities for her residents. She has an intellectual openness that is hard to find. Your resident can be challenged intellectually at Independence Village of Aurora. I cannot think of a better place to call home.

I have performed regularly at Independence Villages, and all of the residents seem very happy and well taken care of. The dining room and the food looks amazing, the staff always cheerful and professional, looking after all of the residents needs with care. Everyone has a great, professional, caring attitude and they have many activities for the residents to take part in if they choose. I highly recommend IV of Aurora.

I enthusiastically recommend Independence Village of Aurora as a home for any senior. They are dedicated to providing a lifestyle of INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION for their residents. I give presentations about the personal lives of historical people. You would be surprised at how many facilities have no interest in these intellectual pursuits. Independence Village is an exception. They go beyond offering the regular, common activities and challenge the residents' mind. They show a great respect for the mind and dignity of each resident. This also allows for socialization and an opportunity to learn and discuss ideas. The Life Enrichment Director is dedicated to providing an exceptional educational experience for those longing to learn and grow. She is open to new ideas and opportunities for her residents. Learning matters to her-as well as the enthusiastic residents.

I have been thoroughly impressed since the very first day we moved my family member into StoryPoint. We knew it was the right place for her when we saw how the staff interacted with the residents and treated them like family. We have been incredibly happy with her care over the years. She herself has always talked so highly of the caretakers there and feels so safe at StoryPoint that when we take her out for lunch she often wants to return shortly thereafter. We could not be more pleased with the love and care they have given her during her time there. She has mad many special bonds with residents as well as staff. A huge thank you to the Director Kelly Moran and all of the staff there that have made her and all of the other residents feel at home. Thank you!!

I care for all the people who work here! They are so giving and understanding. They're just like family!

I'm very pleased with everything. From the food to the kindness of the staff and I love being here!

I love living here, the staff is very polite and helpful. This facility is very clean and smells pleasant. I use to live here with my wife [name removed]. She's now passed on. My children liked this place. So much they wanted me to come back and live out the rest of my days here. I'm familiar with the staff and they are always nice to me And the food is delicious.

We consider ourselves to be very fortunate. We have a very nice apartment, very spacious, very well made, very easy to live in. We have a staff of helpers, all very courteous, very thoughtful, very helpful and willing to help. We receive good food and good support. All very pleasant.

When my husband and I first began to search for a good senior living facility, Story Point stood out immediately. It is brand new and fresh and beautifully appointed. The staff that we first interacted with seemed to care not only that residents feel safe and secure but also that the entire person would be nourished. Our Enrichment Director enriches us with many different activities and programs. Our Director is always available to listen to us and answer our questions and concerns. Each staff does his/her job well. Patience and kindness are a given. We have amenities of every sort such as housecleaning and laundry service. And shall I tell you about the food ?! StoryPoint is a winner on all counts and we feel lucky to have found it.

The residents and staff are so friendly and supportive of one another. They enjoy a variety of activities, including regular happy hours and/or birthday parties with live entertainment. Everyone gets into the celebration. A true community spirit is evident at Independence Village Aurora.

StoryPoint has been a great blessing for us. My Aunt has been living there for about 3 years and has been treated like family since day 1. The management/staff truly care about each individual and go well out of their way to enhance her happiness and safety. Facilities are well maintained and there is a highly responsive team to help with even little things like hanging pictures. Residents have a choice of dining options and a wide range of very tasty, high quality food. As my Aunt's decision making capabilities declined, but before she needed memory care services, the staff helped make sure she selected a balanced diet without making her feel "micromanaged." As for activities, if residents express an interest in something, the management/staff almost always finds a way to make it happen! The variety and quality of available activities continues to amaze me! Critically, management also works hard to keep the costs affordable and to provide input on changing care needs. I could go on and on but the bottom line is StoryPoint Saline is a great place!

In the move from assisted living to memory care my mother was skeptical and hesitant. Thankfully the Independence family made it as helpful and smooth as possible. Everyone from the administration to nurses to daily care providers treated my mother as she was their own--with kindness, dignity, tenderness. They were extremely accommodating to us as her children as we helped in the moving process and worked to make her feel at home and safe and comfortable. My brothers and I are very grateful for all in the Independence Village family. We know that our mother has prompt attention to her physical, emotional, and mental needs. We know she is safe. We are assured that everyone to whom we have entrusted her care has her best interest in mind. We trust that not because that is their job and they are employed, but because we have witnessed that their hearts have a passion and compassion for each resident in their community.

We chose Atria at River Trail because they had a good special going on and the location was great for my sister. The room size that she is in is the next size up from the smallest available and it is adequate for her needs. The communication has been a little hit or miss. I would recommend them to others looking.

My grandma loves living here! I have never seen her happier!

We chose StoryPoint Chesterton because it was more convenient for family and also it is a very new facility and it is absolutely beautiful. The other ones we saw were pretty rundown and needed upgrades. The apartment sizes here are on the smaller side for the money. I would recommend them to others looking.

We are very pleased with Independence Village so far. We chose this facility because it was a nicer building than some of the others we looked into. Overall, I would recommend them to others looking.

As a private duty home care provider and licensed PT assistant, I have been in many local facilities. Story Point is at the top of my list. I have been involved in the building for 3 1/2 years and have been welcomed in like a staff member and not just a third party provider. The Laurus Home care director has been a blessing to team with to ensure that all residents have what they need. Building is always spotless and very welcoming environment. Pre-Covid the dining areas were very elegant and I loved having lunch in the Bistro with the residents. As there is no perfect place that I have learned through the years, Story Point is a place I would highly recommend and use for my parents if needed.

I think I made a good choice. A wide range of people and activities.
