Overview of Choices

To help in your decision-making process, here is an overview of where
American House fit in the continuum of senior living choices:

Independent Living

American House living is built on a foundation of independence: Your own private space in a studio or apartment with your own bedroom, bath and kitchen. Many residents drive their own cars, cook some of their own meals and even have pets. Yet moving into American House also means available restaurant-style dining, new friends, social activities, outings, transportation, housekeeping, laundry service and the peace of mind that 24-hour staffing can provide.

Available Living Assistance

Living at American House also means you have an array of living assistance available to you, if and when you want it. These support services range from medication reminders, bathing and dressing assistance and mobility assistance to services provided by visiting physicians and physical therapists. These services are provided to our residents on-site through a third-party professional home health care resource.

Short-Term Stays

Seniors can stay at American House for just a couple of days if they like, either to sample American House living or to have an enjoyable place to stay in a private apartment while family caregivers go on vacation. Other reasons include surgical recovery and physical therapy needs.

Memory Care

Specialized residential care for seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other dementia- and memory-related conditions is available to families at our dedicated, state-of-the-art Memory Care Unit at our American House Regent Street Community in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Also offering independent living, Regent Street is a "Continuing Care Retirement Community," (CCRC) able to provide a progressive continuum of care in one senior community.

Beyond American House

Skilled Nursing Care Facilities provide a level of care beyond the American House lifestyle; often referred to generally as a "nursing home," skilled nursing care facilities are for those who require the ongoing services of registered nurses and other medical professionals, for treatment and procedures often required by chronic and/or sub-acute illness. American House has wonderful relationships with superb nursing care facilities and can connect our senior residents and their families with these resources as needed.
