Independence Village Pella

Independence Village Pella For 40 years, we've had the best job in the world - loving and caring for seniors.

Our 40 years of senior living experience have taught us that the relationships we form with each other and our residents are what make Independence Village of Pella truly feel like home. From our services and amenities to the features that make us unique, we help our residents find fulfillment, create meaningful connections with one another and truly enjoy each day.

Day 5, as the curtain falls on the 1980’s, we leave behind a decade that strutted, shouted and shimmered, it taught us that fashion could be fearless, music could be monumental and pop culture could be larger than life!! It was a world where Siegfried and Roy made us believe in the extraordinary, Madonna ruled the dance floor with confidence, Michael Jackson moonwalked past gravity spreading unity, Tom Cruise proved nothing was impossible, Phil Donahue stood up for every voice, Johnny Carson turned talk into laughter and Bon Jovi taught us that life’s a stage, rock it with style and heart!! Thank you for joining us as the 1980’s take their final bow, the brightest of the past glows in who you are today!! 🩷🩵🧡💛💜

Day 4, we slid back into the s**g carpeted 1970’s, when disco balls were considered essential as lightbulbs weren’t fabulous enough!! 🪩 The superstar duo from Grease, 1978, Danny and Sandy, appeared like a flash of lighting, yes, it was electrifying!! Popeyes, 1972, served up chicken so crisp and crunchy it felt like a chart topping hit. Meanwhile Sonny and Cher showed us that sass+sarcasm+sequins+sparkle=SHOWBIZ and just as we were catching our breath, Carol Burnett gave her famous ear tug and grin alongside audience Q&A’s!! Now don’t touch that dial, our 1980’s finale is coming up next and the boombox will be cranked to full blast!! 💥

Day 3, we boogied straight into the 1960’s where happiness is always in fashion!! The Beach Boys brought us good vibrations 🌊 that rained down like confetti!! We dined at Arby’s, a place that has been turning hunger into an event since 1964, then came the Merv Griffin Talk Show, a mix of Hollywood glamour and living room charm, Merv really knows how to keep the spotlight dancing, Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies proved that dynamite really does come in small packages and the Beatles sang us all into a frenzy of joy!! We ended the day with a 7-Eleven Slurpee, 1965, because this isn’t just a drink, it’s a full blown happening, putting the cherry on top of our perfect 1960’s day!! 🍒

Day 2, we shook, rattled and rolled back in time to the 1950’s where jukebox nickels made the world go round!! The star power was like no other, Elvis Presley rocked the stage with his voice and 🎤 hip swival as the crowd begged for more while Marylin Monroe sparkled like stardust flashing her glamorous smile!! Dining at Kentucky Fried Chicken, 1952, was finger lickin’ good, popping into our 1950’s Walgreens and 7-Eleven treated us to the best 1950’s goodies and finally the Ed Sullivan Talk Show kept the day rolling with Ed, his stone cold face barely cracking a smile while history was happening right before his eyes as gold star headliner guests were interviewed, Lucille Ball had us doubled over laughing and Buddy Holly rocked us straight into tomorrow!! 🕶️🕶️

Day 1 of our Generation of Innovation Week has begun and we went back to the fabulous 1940’s! The chandelier shined bright as Hollywood royalty graced us-John Wayne strode through tipping his hat followed by Bette Davis with her eyes commanding the room! Legends live forever and they still know how to make an entrance!

Straight from the Golden Ages of the 1940s, The Texaco Star Theater Talk Show, featuring Mr. Television himself, Miton Berle, joined by 2 of this decades biggest stars, the brillant Albert Einstein and the incomparable Frank Sinatra lit up the stage with the true magic of Hollywood history!

We dined at McDonads (opened in 1940 pioneering the modern fast food model) for a classic lunch, sizzling cheeseburgers, crispy fries and a hot apple pie, strolled through the aisles of 2 neighborhood staples-Walgreens and 7-Eleven each laying the groundwork for convenience, candy, snacks and drinks werent just treats, every bite and sip celebrated resilience and commercials were experimental during this erea which included catchy jingles and tunes that stuck in your head after just one listen! 🎶

Watch the amazing transformation unfold all week long, Hollywood Stars, Dazzling Talk Shows, Fast Food beginnings, iconic commercials, changing logos/advertisements and the rise of Walgreens and 7-Eleven-you won’t want to miss a minute!! 🎬

A Colorful Chemistry Afternoon at Asthon’s Science Lab! 🌋✨

Today, our residents rolled up their sleeves and had a blast making lemon volcanoes! With just a few simple ingredients, we created fizzy, bubbling reactions—and added a touch of food coloring for a beautiful pop of color. 🎨💫

It was a fun, hands-on way to explore the wonders of everyday science, spark conversation, and enjoy a little playful curiosity together.

Who knew science could be so refreshing? 😊
