My wife Ellen and I have made The Independence our home for 13 years, and I enthusiastically recommend it to everyone.

We love the friendly, interesting neighbors, the caring and responsive staff who make everyone feel like family, and the security and comfort of a beautifully maintained building.

The location is wonderful — close to excellent medical care, shopping, and the vibrant city of Charlottesville, with its culture, parks, walking trails, and scenic views.

I especially enjoy the yoga classes and the Jefferson Jazz Jammers performances in the lobby.

If anyone asks me about where I live, I always say: come and join us — you won’t be disappointed!

“Welcome Home” truly describes life at The Independence. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and inviting, with excellent facilities and a staff whose attitude is always, “What can we do to help?”

There are plenty of activities if you want them, and the residents are friendly, supportive, and good neighbors. I am truly thankful that I found The Independence.

Downsizing became necessary due to health concerns, and my search for comfortable accommodations led my daughter and me to The Independence. From the moment we toured, the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere convinced me it would be a wonderful fit, and the rental process was easy.

Meeting the residents confirmed that feeling — everyone was warm, welcoming, and supportive, and that has continued since I moved in. The staff are equally kind, helpful, and cheerful.

The facilities fit my needs well, and there are excellent activities for those who wish to participate. I wholeheartedly recommend The Independence to anyone considering relocation.
