American House

Some good and some not so good. Apartment size is adequate. Food is amazing, shuttle service is not as it was described (won't take mom to doctors appointments at Blodgett because it's too far but take them on a trip to Horrocks. Seems weird.

When we worked with [name removed] who was the director there we were able to get our questions answered. He even used to call me daily. Well the day before we moved [name removed] in to American House [name removed] transferred and was replaced by [name removed]. She is not very friendly and when you ask questions you can't really get a complete answer. So we are very disappointed in that aspect. Otherwise the nurses and caregivers there are friendly and [name removed] actually leaves his room to eat in the cafeteria which he never wanted to do before. So even with his memory loss he is doing more at American House than before.

Friendly, clean, knowledgeable. Secured facility. Not many residents in the community area at the time of my tour. Plenty of information provided and all my questions answered. Will be interested in a second visit during an activity or dinner to meet more staff and residents.

Meals are decent, staff is very friendly, the main area where they have occasional entertainment is basically part of the lobby and way too small and loud, should have a separate room nearby, several residents feel the same. The facility is kept very clean and brightly lit and the rooms are spacious and housekeeping and the maintenance crew the best I can tell do a great job. Very limited if any visitor parking normally available near lobby.

Wonderful. It is my home with wonderful, loving people.

The food was good, [name removed] was the director and she was always very responsive, the building is very pretty and well kept, the rooms are clean and do not look dated. Yes, I would recommend the community.

overall fairly nice. [name removed] was very helpful. currently remodeling. people are pretty friendly. the care services could up the regular care somewhat. staff is friendly. Need a few more though. the food could definitely improve. More than sandwiches for dinner. the activities could use some more activities. all of these places are overpriced. I would actually recommend this place over others.

All personnel were lovely. Gym, nice amenities with washer/dryer, full kitchen with dishwasher, screen room.

Great people work here. Great people also live here. A lot of positive energy in the building. The staff indeed do care for their residents, down from the office staff to the kitchen staff. Great clean environment

The day I moved in everything has been great. The staff is amazing, the food is good, The chef [name removed] is my favorite person. She always makes sure I’m good even when I’m having a bad day. I’m so glad me and my husband moved here at American House Sterling Woods.

Since I moved in everything has been great and I have met a lot of good people. The staff is great, the activities are amazing, especially planning bingo that's my favorite game. I have lot of people in my new home that I truly live

I've been here since [year removed] and I like it most of the time. Something they can improve on is that I would like more variety with my food. I like the activities. The building is clean and we have a new bus!

Most of the staff has been wonderful. My husband does not participate in activities not able to. He has eaten all of his meals to my knowledge. I am pleased with the room size just wish they would sweep/vacuum more many times stuff all over the floor. One thing I wish they would fix is the door bell to get in memory unit does not work very much. I always have to run someone down to let me in. This is inconvenient.

Aunt is not crazy about the food and I know that's normal in most communities. When it comes to the care it just took them awhile to get her going with her shower schedule, but its finally getting better. I would recommend to others

The staff is always kind and helpful. They strive to make [name removed] feel comfortable and valued. I would recommend them to others who are needing to find a place for their loved one.

Pros: They serve good food. The facility is always clean. They don't force participation, they just encourage it. They have a perimeter fence which keeps the residents from reaching the parking lot or road, keeping them safe. The people working there are very nice and positive. Cons: Sometimes when we come to her room, it seems like she hasn't left for a while. Sometimes it really smells and seems like they are not checking in on her for extended periods, making sure she is changing her undergarments/ using the bathroom.

I would give them a 4. They do a good job but we have to stay on them. I visit often. if I see moms hygiene isn't what it should be then I talk to the admin. and they will step it up and do better. Mom just graduated from hospice so we are still trying to work everything out with American House taking full responsibility. Overall it's a nice place.

I have lived here over 6 years and I am very satisfied. My husband and I moved here when he became ill. He was taken good care of until he passed away. I like the staff and have friends with the residents who live here. I plan to live here for the rest of my life.

Their nursing staff there is terrible. I had to move mom somewhere else for more care. Other than that I loved the place! As long as you don't have to hire the nursing care. I wish she were still there.

Overall, the staff has been very pleasant and the food is good. My dad is not an extrovert and had a hard time "fitting in" his first few weeks. It w/be nice if there were staff or residents to prompt him to attend activities and show him where they were located. You advertise Eucre, but only 1 or 2 people showed up. I stayed so they would have a 4th person to play. He got lost several times in the bldg since the 2 sides only connect on the 1st floor. A high level map of main rooms would help. We also had a billing issue the first month. Instead of reducing his monthly amount by the mid-month start and veteran's discount, they added it to his total. It was a good thing we had a few extra thousand in the checking or other auto payments and checks would have bounced. He is now "settling in" and is adjusting to his new living environment.
