Since I live in the area and know people who have lived here, it was as I expected and everyone is very friendly. One of the residents let me tour their apartment. I got all the paperwork. There seems to be a 9month waiting list. I recommend this for anyone wishing a better place to stay for senior retirement. When we visited the dining room, something they were cooking smelled delicious.

I have lived at American House BWB for 2 1/2 years and I pretty much love it here! The staff is friendly and the residents are ok as well. I really like all the amenities, food and social hour. [name removed] keeps me laughing and [name removed] takes me everywhere.

Happy New Life

Every single person here is just wonderful! I am thankful that I listened to my niece and moved here sight unseen. [name removed] has been really exceptional for everything I've needed and [name removed] has been the best housekeeper ever! And it's hard to keep me straight! I highly recommend American House Bluewater Bay.

Smoke and Mirrors or Bait and Switch?

Truth be told, IT'S ALL THE ABOVE. Ticket prices star over $[removed] just to test these waters. Mr. VP of Operations, your plea for a phone call to address your situations is so heartwarming. Did YOU make any phone calls or in person visits to right your sinking ship? When we voice our concerns here locally, all we ever get is "corporate wants it this way". Well, seems to me that remark alone verifies corporate already knows. The food and service here is only marginal, it's very sketchy. Protein foods hardly exi

INSIDE LOOKING OUT ~ something is very wrong here.

American House Bluewater Bay has unlimited probabilities. However, those high-hope targets are being squandered with way too much management being charged with responsibilities and job-titles that are not being delivered upon. Residents should never experience dietary rationing, limitations or inadequacies at this price point. 1.) It's expensive. The promised degree of top-shelf living is not being delivered to the residents on many levels. 2.) Way too much administrative and coordination costs stirred into the m
