Independence Village of Midland delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—with comprehensive medical oversight. The community is equipped to support residents who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, or present combative or other challenging behaviors. Staff are trained to manage advanced dementia conditions and can care for individuals who stay up all night, require wound care, use oxygen, need special diets, or are younger than 60. Diabetes management is available for residents on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale regimens, ensuring continuous monitoring and prompt intervention.

Safety measures and hands-on assistance are integrated into daily routines. All employees undergo background checks, and a fully awake night shift is on site alongside 24-hour security. An activity director coordinates engagement programs, while on-site podiatry services and acceptance of psychiatric conditions broaden medical support. Residents who need help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting can receive full assistance. Transfer capabilities range from basic standby or walker support to one-person or two-person transfers, full Hoyer-lift transfers, and services for bed-bound individuals.

Accommodations come in several layouts; some feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, though not every apartment includes every feature. Independent Living residents can enroll in medication-management monitoring, scheduled housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan designed for lighter support.

Dining offers both a set menu and made-to-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day. The culinary team can modify meals for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets, allowing residents to maintain required nutritional regimens without sacrificing choice.

Amenities and services include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and a library. Scheduled transportation makes local appointments and outings easier to manage. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Furthermore, many reviewers mentioned how the staff at Independence village consistently encourages residents to partake in the activities and social events.
