Today on Juneteenth, we honor freedom. ❤️💛💚
Juneteenth reminds us that freedom delayed is not freedom denied. Every person deserves the right to live fully, independently, and with dignity.

Today we celebrate Autistic Pride Day! 🌟
We honor the unique perspectives, talents, and contributions of our autistic community! We’re reminded how important it is to amplify autistic voices, challenge misconceptions, and appreciate all the wonderful ways autism adds color and depth to our world.
By focusing on pride, understanding, and self-advocacy, we can help reduce stigma and create more accepting, supportive communities for everyone. 🌍❤️
It’s Learning Disabilities Awareness Week! 💜
Did you know that 1 in 5 people have some form of a learning disability?
This week is about spreading awareness, breaking down misconceptions, and honoring the unique ways we all learn! 🌟 It’s not about intelligence or effort, it’s about how the brain processes information.
Add this graphic to your story to help others learn more about what a learning disability is and how we can create a more understanding and supportive community! 📚✨
For Sarah’s family, Independence Landing isn’t just a home… it’s a dream realized. 💭✨ We got the chance to sit down with them to chat about how our community changed their family! 🫶
Sarah’s sister, Anna, shared, “Sarah was determined to have her own apartment long before the first residents moved in. And she did it!” Since October 2023, Sarah has been thriving in her new community, building the independent life she’s always wanted. 💚
“Not only has IL given Sarah independence,” Anna adds, “it’s also given my mom independence too. She can finally enjoy retirement knowing Sarah is in a place where she’s supported and loved.”
Tracy, Sarah’s mom, had been looking for a place like IL for years. “We visited something similar in 2016, but it was in Lakeland. Then we found IL, and it was a dream come true. It’s a safe place where Sarah is happy, and that’s all any mother could ask for.”
Sarah’s family has even moved closer to be part of this new chapter. “We never thought we’d leave NYC,” Anna said. “But now we live in Southwood, and I’m so glad we’re here to see Sarah thrive.” 🌟
From community, to growth, to lifelong peace of mind, we are proud of the ways Independence Landing can change lives!

Our residents had an amazing time cheering on @tlhreckoning! ⚽💛
TLH Reckoning is Tallahassee’s first-ever women’s pre-professional soccer team. The players brought some serious energy, and our group loved being part of the action. 🥅✨
Independence Landing isn’t just a place to live - it’s a gateway to the wider Tallahassee community!
