I Plan to move there when it’s my Time for Assisted Living

My mother has been there for one year. It’s very clean. Food is very good. Just know that lunch is the main menu and dinner is lighter. They pick up trash & make the bed daily. Clean the apartment once a week. Wash clothes & fold once a week. Clean sheets every 2 weeks and remake the bed. However, some times the medication and food delivery to room is late. Overall, when it is my time for being in an assisted living home this is the place I plan to move to.

Stay far away

The Medical Team is absolutely terrible. They let go everyone who actually cares. Their HR department discriminates. American House is going downhill the longer they allow TMT to reside inside their building.

Stay involved

for memory care as they only bring them to the activity if there is staff and that never happens. As with any place in healthcare, you get the ones that this is their passion and calling and you also have the ones that are just there as a "paycheck ". Admin staff is amazing!!! Our loved one is in memory care, and doesn't get to participate in all the activities due to short staffing and they don't have anyone to cover. That's probably the 2nd biggest issue. 1st is the staff that just wants the residents to be in their room. Memory care is already hard enough on the person.

Welcome Home.

From the moment I walked in I was impressed. [name removed] was amazing! Kind, truly caring and listened to all of our concerns for our family member. The building outdoors is kept up beautifully and the inside is clean and attractive.

A nice community with room for improvements

We were shown a dining hall where there are servers and everyone comes to eat. The memory care patients do not participate in there they are brought simply a tray. We were shown all these "activities " and places for the patients /residents to go... memory care DOES NOT participate unless there is someone to take them and of course they are short staffed so activities (outside of coloring at their tv room) are limited. Of course it's expensive which all places are but we are aware that our loved one needed more than we can give at home

Our families experience

What we like the most about American House is the small long term staff of housekeeping and activity directors. Friendly office staff.

Would recommend for independent living

My husbands room is very nice, but most says get us left alone all day. I thought it was more assisted living, but found out it is enhanced independent living. I think he needs more care. Some of the staff members are nice, but many don't seem tuned into the needs of the residents.

Wonderful facility

We like the fact that the facility is smaller and unassuming. A small, home-like feel, no elevators (which are confusing for our mom).

American House review

The care staff is contracted by a third party. You pay the facility separately from the contract staff. The contract staff is not that attentive. Based off of my experience, I would not recommend American House Elmwood.

Our family had an in person tour with American House and the young girl that took us around was so kind. We liked her a lot. That was a nice place, too! Definitely a second choice.

A goof fit

It is a smaller facility so if someone has difficulty with memory issues it is easier for them to get around. There are only 60 residents so it is much easier for the staff to keep their eyes on everybody. If your loved one is high maintenence, this is not the place for them. I would recommend American House Elmwood to others looking.

A safe, peaceful & comfortable place for dad

Most of the med team staff are great. Our loved one is not an easy resident after we told him we sold his house. But he has made friends & likes being there. He has acted out a few times but the staff is very understanding towards him.

A good fit for my dad

We chose American House Elmwood because I have a friend I used to work with and she actually works here now after retiring . We looked at a lot of different places but when we came to check it out we liked it a lot. It is quiet, the facility is smaller, and it is also all on one floor which makes it easier for my dad to get around in his wheelchair. It is not high end and not low end, it is right in the middle. My dad has grown to like it and we would recommend them to other families looking.

This is a wonderful facility!

American House Elmwood is a wonderful facility. They truly care and every staff member will go out of their way to make sure that your loved one is involved and living their best life. I found every staff member to be especially compassionate, understanding and patient with those that need a little more assistance. Additionally, I appreciate that they keep me in the loop with my mom's progress without having to call. I get a text or a phone call every now and then just to share my mom's day with me....I love that about them! I am so thankful that my mom has a safe, caring and meticulously clean place to live. You won't regret your decision if you decide on American House Elwood......I promise!
