Key Review Excerpts

The meals are excellent in taste, variety, and portion size. There are weekly professional performances and special events.

Independent Living resident · 2026★★★★★

My mom lived in independent living for 2 years and loved it. She found the Freedom Village staff to be organized, friendly, and dependable. Due to a fall, she spent several weeks in their skilled nursing facility, where she also received excellent care.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

My husband had dementia and had to go to the Health Center when we moved in. The Health Center employees in Memory Care were helpful in assisting. My husband adjusted to his new surroundings and were extremely supportive in day to day activities.
