Review for American Village
The grounds are large, wooded, with a lake and very peaceful. It is in a neighborhood and feels more homey to us than a sterile larger suburban setting. It is also very close to where I and her other relatives live so we can visit very often. The staff is friendly and caring. The facility is older but updated and clean. For our purposes and tastes I do not think we could find anything we liked better.

The food is average, however if you don't like what is on the menu you can always have a substitute such as a sandwich or salad and they have a great chef's salad. Value for the money, they are very competitive and I have never regretted my move. There is a great exercise facility which is manned by a professional trainer and open five days a week. Chair exercises are given three days a week. Many games, puzzles, painting field trips in the van. The prices were comparable. The facility is clean. The staff is always easy to find, I am always greeted by my name. Gives you a feeling of "I CARE". The administration has a great group of people always available to see and always able to help. My laundry is done weekly and no tags or markings as your laundry is done all by its self, so no mix up. The rooms are cleaned weekly.

We chose American Village because of the cleanliness of the facility, the brightness, inviting dining room, and services offered. They are all very attentive and helpful to the residents.

I gave quality of care a 3 because they have moved her a lot in the long-term memory care unit, and they've lost quite a few of her things. Regarding number 6, my grandmother has dementia and doesn't remember any activities she participated in, but there are activities listed on the calendar

We are very happy with all categories! They get a 5. The staff is very accommodating and check on residents if anything is out of the ordinary. Food is wonderful and we love the outdoor areas. Large apartments, only wish the cleaning was more often for my mothers needs

Love the staff, they are fantastic. Love the location of the community. The food is only okay and could be better. The cost is high when you consider the mediocrity of the food, and the frequency at which repairs are needed (outdated apt units, appliances and AC/heat systems).

I would tell them to not send loved ones to the assisted living building. It is horrible, needs a total revamp of leadership and staff.

Negatives include: no flexibility regarding food offerings and what seems excessive in entry level staff turnover. Many other staff have long tenure which is impressive. Communication could be a LOT better The building is older so it's harder to make it look shiny. Outdoor geese leave their marks on parking lot and driveways. I recommend learning the names of the staff who serve your loved one. Nursing staff good to alert me to incidents. My mom is very positive, friendly and funny so that probably helps to encourage her caregivers. I only see a minor dementia issue. Mom likes simple foods (not combinations) without adornment. Mostly meat, potatoes and fruits. This kitchen cannot or will not give her the food she wants. We supplement with bananas and healthy snacks but she is still losing weight- not unusual (I'm told) for her 96 years in age. Activities are plentiful if somewhat simple. But mom feels like she's missing out if she's not with other residents in the community room. It's expensive but not excessive. My Mom is in Memory Care One (part of the Assisted Living group- mostly those with a flight risk) as there is also a Memory Care Two at American Village which is unusual (the two levels).

It's centrally located to my family members and I like that my dad can still be independent.

I think we toured two American Village communities. They were both larger than Kesslerwood and, therefore, had more of an "institutional" feel. But the people we met with were friendly and helpful. In the end, two of the big deciding factors for us were cost and location.

Although there have been recent staffing changes, most of the higher level management has not changed and many have multiple years there. I have seen genuine caring for residents from the entry level staff as well. My mom seems content there.

American Village was pretty and landscaping and outside areas, but the community was depressing on the inside.

We love American Village Lincoln lodge. It's actually independent living and just the right level of support. The staff is amazing.

They're not doing well. It's terrible! Every week I'm contacting the assistant director for the simplest issues. Food on weekends is horrible, not appetizing. Staff doesn't clean rooms properly and hallways are not sanitized. The handicap door and one elevator has been inoperable since my loved one moved in. Some of the nursing staff have forgotten to give my loved one their meds and they have to go to the nurses station and request them!

We chose American Village because of the cost and time required before Medicaid assistance was accepted. My first choice was a different facility, but unfortunately was out our price range. American Village was our second choice and my mom has been very happy here. It is an older facility, but located on a nice property. It's convenient to the Broad Ripple area. Very friendly staff and nurses.

The tour guide was cold and she didn't interact with the residents during the tour. The community felt dark.

This is a nice place to stay. The grounds are kept up. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff are friendly to work with if we have questions or concerns. There are lots of activities. Some of them include bible reading, movies, trips to the store, church services, and field trips outside of the community for the residents to choose from. There is transportation for the residents to use for doctor appointments. Fried chicken is the best along with the calm chowder, and shrimp is good as well. There are lots of choices for meals for the residents to choose from.
