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.

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.

A very positive experience so far

American House Cedarlake is a great place and my father is having a very positive experience at this facility so far. I've found them to be very accommodating and eager to meet my father's needs. They're available when we have questions. The facility is tasteful and welcoming. There's an array of activities available, and the apartments are spacious and comfortable. My father's only complaint so far is that the portion sizes of the meals are very small. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends.

Good fit for mom and dad, would recommend for retirement living

The staff is very friendly and helpful, they have a good assortment of activities for independent living residents. They could improve on the meals and dining by having more consistency with the process of ordering meals, they change it quite often as to when to pick up and getting it right. I would recommend American House Cedarlake to others looking for retirement living.
