What this means for your family

American House Sterling Woods is highly regarded for its clean environment and supportive management team, making it a strong candidate for independent living. However, because medical assistance is subcontracted to AdvisaCare, families requiring high levels of care should interview that specific provider thoroughly and ask for references regarding their reliability and response times.

Key Review Excerpts

The facility staff for AH itself is GREAT!! However, the company that provides the care, AdvisaCare is absolutely terrible!!!!! We have to call at least weekly to the Care Manager due to the care staff not answering the call button, phone calls, not showing up for scheduled care.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★

Todd made her feel so welcome and provided sincere empathy with her as she was very nervous and emotional about it. Now she gives him a big hug when she sees him as they have become well acquainted.

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★

Started out as independent living but she has transitioned seemlessly to needing some assistance. All the staff has been ready to help with just a phone call or email. Best pricing of any senior living that we looked at.
