Our home’s name, Independence Village, is purposefully self-descriptive. We are fortunate to live in a
place and time that offers residential alternatives for the mentally and, or physically challenged. We are
very proud of the Village’s physical space and the service-first staff who provide a “home” environment for
our residents. Our continuing challenge: "Is there any other residential model that could make the lives of
mentally and, or physically challenged individuals even more enjoyable and fulfilling?”
Our privately funded non-profit residence cares for approximately thirty residents ranging in age from 20 to
70 years. Our residents are individuals with Down Syndrome, mild retardation, or brain injury who need
minimal assistance in their daily living. Most of our residents are employed either part-time or full-time.
Although each individual has the opportunity and is encouraged to participate in the community in many
ways, the place they call "home" is their Independence Village. The Village includes large suites with living
rooms, spacious closets and built in chest of drawers, bathrooms designed for the physically challenged,
as well as community areas including a large den and entertainment center. For over 20 years
Independence Village staff members have provided a loving and caring home where a family atmosphere
is encouraged and fostered.
You are invited to visit us anytime and let us show you the comfort and hospitality at the Village.
