Independence Village of Johnson City

Rolling mountains, local parks and the shops of downtown surround Independence Village of Johnson City, 2623 Peoples St. StoryPoint Group operates the community, which offers independent living only. Winged Deer Park and Lake Johnson are both within reach for residents who like to spend time outdoors during the week, and the surrounding hills give the area a different feel than a flat city grid, which many longtime Tennessee residents already know well.

Daily chores, home maintenance and meal preparation are handled for residents, who spend their time instead on hobbies, new friends or the community's calendar of planned activities. Chef-prepared meals are served daily, and residents keep their own apartment and schedule throughout the week without a fixed routine imposed on them by staff or by other residents in the building.

Because only independent living is offered here, families should ask directly what options exist if a resident's needs change over time, including whether outside home care is allowed in the apartments and how that arrangement is handled day to day. Johnson City Medical Center serves the area for appointments and any follow-up care a resident might need.

Downtown Johnson City stays close enough for a meal out or an afternoon errand. Compare this community with other options through senior living in Johnson City before scheduling a visit and asking about current apartment availability and how the waiting list is typically handled.
