Review for American House Sterling Woods Senior Living

[name removed]is so nice. She tried her best to make sure your family member is very comfortable, and that they aren't in need of anything. All the people, residents and staff are so nice and friendly. I would absolutely recommend American House Sterling Woods Senior Living.

American House Sterling Woods Senior Living

I have met some great people on the staff and residents too. The place is second rate. They don't even have a vending machine. The new administration is not the friendliest, the food menu needs to be more diverse.

Moved in this summer and I have a lot of friends and fun!

I like the activities and I eat very well! I have lots of new friends. The building is clean and my apartment is very big. The staff is really nice! My children helped me find my new home and I like it here.

Moved here to be closer to family

I moved to this community to be closer to my niece. I enjoy the activities, puzzles and music. I have a lot of peers my age and my apartment is big. The staff is nice but they could improve on a welcome committee.

Two year resident and like it here

I moved here two years ago from another smaller community after a rehab stay. I get a lot support from the staff with rides, cleaning and meals. I can no longer live on my own so this place meets my needs.
