It was the one that had the most available activities and amenities that my mother-in-law would take advantage of. I would recommend it if it was financially feasible for them.

My mother was a resident of over 10 years until her death in 2021. She lived independently and was extremely happy. She liked and enjoyed the staff and participated in many activities; very welcoming community. Currently, my mother-in law has been a resident for over 10 years - very comfortable, satisfied with everything.

My mom has been at IW for almost 10 years. Up until recently, she has needed very little assistance. However, a fall and a couple of other health problems have brought a need for some assistance. All staff has been wonderful. My mom is happy and safe.

Tips for evaluating your community options

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

  • Know the Michigan regulations for Independent Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan regulations for Independent Living.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
about Independence Village of Petoskey

Independence Village of Petoskey offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Independence Village of Petoskey 9.8 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.
