Community Reviews

We’ve recently moved my 93-year-old mother with memory issues into American House Sterling Woods. The food is good and Jennifer makes sure you are set up with everything you need and takes time to offer kind words and a smile. The residents we’ve encountered are all friendly and welcoming. Thank you to [the] American House staff who has made her transition easy.

My mom has been at Sterling Woods for almost a month now. She has found a group of ladies and they already [seem] inseparable. They craft together, play Bingo, share knitting patterns and ideas, and just laugh together. The staff is caring and attentive. The hallways, dining room and apartments are always clean and smell good. I am so happy I found this wonderful community and the fact that I live a half of a mile away from her now is a big bonus.

Searching for the right place for my grandparents was overwhelming to say the least, after leaving we knew this was the place that would be perfect for them. The atmosphere felt like home...We are looking forward to my grandparents to settle in! Huge huge thank you to everyone at American House Sterling Woods for helping us through this entire process!

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.
