Today, we welcomed @floridaapd (Agency for Persons with Disabilities) for our on-site audit at Independence Landing. Their team toured the community and had the opportunity to meet several of our residents.
The Contract Monitoring team conducted a comprehensive review and provided quality assurance for our Culinary Workforce Development Program. They observed our classroom instruction, on-the-job training, and enjoyed lunch at Press Café, which will officially open to the public on February 9th.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting the APD team, and we are truly honored to have their continued support. Our program utilizes a tried-and-true formal curriculum certified by the National Restaurant Association—focused on real people, real training, and real impact.
Thank you, APD, for your partnership and commitment to the success of our participants.
Today, we honor and celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his determination and passion for creating a world filled with equality, love, and empowerment. His fearlessness displayed throughout the civil rights movement undeniably laid the groundwork to build advocacy towards disability rights in America.
"We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."

We had such a fun time ringing in the new year at Independence Landing! 🎉🍾
Here’s to making memories together in 2026. 💚
Happy New Year from us here at Independence Landing! 💚🎉
We would like to start 2026 by thanking each and every one of you who has been a part of our journey. Whether you`ve been here since the beginning or just recently heard about us, your support helps fulfill lifelong dreams of community and independence. Thank you for believing in our mission to create a better life for adults living with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. We hope this year is full of generosity, acceptance, and gratitude. ✨
At Independence Landing, we often say we were created for stories like Daniel’s.
Daniel is a joyful, engaged member of our community—and someone who takes great pride in the life he has built. He wants everyone to know that he has worked at Westminster Oaks for 16 years, and he is especially proud that he has never been late for work. That dedication and consistency speak volumes about who Daniel is.
Beyond his work, Daniel stays actively involved in Special Olympics and First Tee Tallahassee, and he completed our culinary workforce development program, gaining new valuable employment skills and strengthening his confidence along the way. Around Independence Landing, you can often find him in the clubhouse—connecting with neighbors, welcoming others into conversation, or singing during karaoke. It is a joy for Daniel to share Independence Landing with others, and his warmth helps make our community feel like home. 🏠
Daniel’s parents and family members are deeply involved in his life, cheering him on, celebrating his milestones, and remaining closely connected to the community he calls home. They see firsthand the happiness, purpose, and belonging Daniel experiences here—and it brings them profound peace. They know that this joy, connection, and support will continue for him long after they are gone.
This is the heart of Independence Landing. We are more than housing. We are a permanent community where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can live full, meaningful lives—and where families can rest knowing their loved one is safe, supported, and truly belongs. 🫶
Your support makes stories like Daniel’s possible. Every gift helps ensure that adults with disabilities have a place to grow, contribute, and experience belonging for a lifetime.
Will you help us continue building this future—one filled with joy, dignity, and peace of mind? Visit ➡ bit.ly/cheersto2025 to make your donation before the year comes to an end.
Thank you for believing in what is possible. 💚
