American House has excellent, friendly staff. It's a little older as a facility, but the staff members are very friendly and engaging. It has a family-like atmosphere. They are also pet friendly. Cleanliness is fine. They have an outdoor walking area that sounded lovely, but I didn't get to experience it.

My brother is going to be moving into American House soon. It seems like it is going to work out very well for him, but it's pricey. The people I have met there seemed like they're going to be very helpful. I had a meal there and the food was good. The room was a nice and good, large-sized 1-bedroom with a small balcony. It was not fancy, but it was nice, and that's what we were looking for. Everything was refurbished. When somebody moves out, it was cleaned and repainted, so it looked very nice. My brother was walking around looking at the closet space and was saying, "Wow!" They get three meals a day seven days a week. They do housekeeping, they come in everyday to empty wastebaskets, and they come in once a week to clean, change, and wash the sheets. Those things are very nice because I have been doing that for my brother, so it would be nice to have somebody else do it. For the first week, for a small fee, I'll have somebody escort my brother to eat so he will know how it is done, and then after that, he will know what he is doing. For a price, you can get various stages of care. They will provide assisted living support. Each thing that you need has a price attached to it.
