Strong safety record
Among the cleaner records in the state: 1 serious and 3 minor citations across 16 state inspections, with 3 verified complaints. A record this consistent is one of the clearest signs a home is well-run.
Same 10 owners since 1985
The same 10 founding partners have owned and operated Freedom Village for over 40 years — no institutional buyouts, no management transitions.
Debt-free campus
The mortgage was paid off 18 months after opening. Freedom Village has operated debt-free ever since, which ownership cites as its long-term stability guarantee for residents.
70+ staff with 10-year tenure
Over 70 current employees have worked at Freedom Village for 10 or more years — a specific retention figure the facility cites as evidence of its culture.
533-bed campus scale
At 533 beds, Freedom Village operates at resort scale. Families who prefer a smaller, residential-feel setting should factor that in before touring.
Life Plan entry fee structure
As an Active Life Plan Community (CCRC), entry typically involves a one-time entrance fee on top of monthly fees. Freedom Village publishes a Disclosure Statement on its site — request it before any financial conversation.
Confirm which care levels are admitting
The site lists independent living, assisted living, and memory care under one campus. Ask which levels are currently accepting new residents and how transitions between levels work contractually.
