American House Cedar Lake

American House Cedar Lake is an excellent facility. The staff is well trained, responsive and very caring. American House has a "neighborhood" feel to it. Residents are active and quite friendly to each other.

Excellent Facility

Our experience at American House Cedarlake has been exceptional. My dad started out in the independent living area, but he had to move over to assisted living due to his declining health. The administration acted quickly to get him an apartment and the staff assisted us in moving all of his things into his assisted living apartment. They all worked to make this stressful situation easier on him and on us. The nursing staff is knowledgeable and compassionate. We couldn't be happier with the care our dad is receiving.

Great experience

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and knows everyone on a first name basis. Issues are addressed immediately. The environment is friendly and welcoming. The residents all get along and care about one another. Activities, e entertainment and family days and events are enjoyable and well planned out. They actually hired a new cook to assist the head chef and the food choices are already improving. Main issue was overcooked and over seasoned dishes.

Staff is very nice

It is pricey, but for the area we are in, it is a good value. Everyone is very nice. There are some meals she doesn't like. They do have meetings about the meals and listen to the residents. They have many activities for residents.

Review for American House Cedarlake

Originally they were good . However, they moved due to lower standards and higher costs. It's not worth it.

Our Experience

I would recommend American House Cedarlake. We had an issue with the director, but they are making changes to improve the experience. The move in process was easy and the staff, less the director and assistant director, was very kind. The director has been removed, so hopefully other families will have a more positive experience.

Our Experience

I would definitely recommend American House Cedarlake. The staff are wonderful and there are a variety of activities if the residents choose to participate. The move in process went smoothly and the staff was helpful in orienting my dad to everything he would need to know. The only complaint my dad has had is with the food. The portions are small and he's mentioned several times that the quality is often low and that they often run out of items. He feels it's probably due to budgeting rather the kitchen staff and that for what he pays a month, more money should be allotted for better quality food.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. [Name removed] was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. The meals have been very good and there are many options to choose from. The holiday decorations have been outstanding, giving it a very home like feel. There are a variety of activities to be involved with. I would recommend American House to those looking for Independent Living! As of yet, we have not experienced Assisted Living. A big shout out to [name removed] for being a great go to person!

Friendly, nice and safe community!

From what we have seen of the activities they look great, but our loved one does not participate in them. We gave the value for cost a 4 because it keeps increasing. The reason we gave #5 a lower rating is due to the lack of staff and not anything else! Honestly...it's location that we enjoy the most about the community! She is safe and happy there! We would recommend American House Cedarlake to other families based on the experience we have had so far.
