Key Review Excerpts

The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. They go the extra mile to make sure the residents are well cared for and comfortable.

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

It has not been kept up maintenance. Takes a long time to answer maintenance request. On Thanksgiving I had one burner to use because her burner went out again after being replaced it was 65° in that apartment when I came in.

Resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

I’ve observed frequent offered activities, along with engagement and attentiveness by staff. Residents, including my mom, seem to enjoy living at American House.
