Extremely satisfied. American House is a great fit for mom

5 on all. I am very pleased with the interaction with them. I live 4.5 hours away and was notified of power outages due to storms. They are all friendly and helpful when I contact them anytime. Mom set up a family gathering to remember dad after a year of passing and the facility was very helpful and food was great Lots of activities. When I came into town she had to work me into her schedule for a visit

Enjoyed the tour and lunch. Had lots of options in housing and additions. Very friendly staff and some unknown residents came up to us and declared how much they enjoyed living there. It would be on my list when our time gets closer. Not ready yet.

So far so good!

My parents have only been there a month but so far I would rate everything a 5. The staff could not be more friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Friendly and helpful staff. They truly care about the residents. The facility is neat and clean. The only improvement I can suggest is that the tubs in assisted living should be walk in showers; not tub cut outs.
