Community Reviews

The staff of American House are so nice ...everybody has a smile as do the people living there. There [are] plenty of open areas, sunlight from multiple windows, a beautiful cafe with excellent service and food. Convenient elevators and the staff arranges activities and excursions daily. There is a nice walking loop and a small park as well on the campus. I would recommend a visit if you need a place for your loved one!!!

I visited the community and was blown away by how friendly and attentive the staff was. We were served excellent food while we were there. The chef was amazing and personally served us our meals.

They chose American House to continue their story, now it’s your turn

I was a singer many years ago, and now I’m retired. I don’t like to live in the past or focus on past glory. I feel you live on what you accomplish today. The fact that I have time at my discretion here is very important. I like the food and I was an avid cook back home! I also haven’t done housework in eight years! I must like it, or I wouldn’t be here this long. Do you agree? Absolutely! – Isobel S.


We moved in and it was a very easy transition for us. The employees are absolutely outstanding! All of them. It almost looks like they are handpicked people. The patience they have, and how quick they are to help with what’s needed. I can’t think of anything you couldn’t get if you wanted it. I joined one of the exercise classes. My family is as excited as I am and very pleased with what they see. – Tony G.


I would recommend American House to anyone. It was the best move we ever made. The most wonderful thing was seeing my husband improve with nursing care and physical therapy. I’m now in Independent Living and I don’t have to worry about linen service, cooking or shopping – it’s all done for me! There’s also the service that takes you to appointments anytime you want. My family is ecstatic about my living arrangements, and I still have my freedom. – Joyce G.
