American House Elmwood Senior Living

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

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

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.

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

Very happy with American house Elmwood yes, I would recommend it to others.

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.

I would recommend to others. We picke dthis community for our loved one ,because of the location and friendliness.

My loved one is currently a resident at American House Elmwood Senior Living and overall everything about her experience at this facility has been very good so far. The care provided to my loved one at this facility is very good. The staff is very friendly and engaged. The facility is clean and free of any odors. I would recommend American House Elmwood Senior Living to others!

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.

All of the above categories, in comparison to other places we investigated, are better at American House.

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.

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.

My loved one moved in during COVID. We were so worried about the care but it everything that we have asked for!! The staff is great! The Medical Team great! I could not have asked to move to a better community! Every time I walk into the community they always great me with a smile.

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!

The care at this community comes from an outside medical team, and the head nurse that works with the medical team gets snippy sometimes. Before COVID the activities were great, and the activities director is fantastic. They used to have singers come in all the time. Now they are trying to still do individual activities with each person, and some group activities where they are spaced apart in the dining room. The only issue we are having with American House is we have been given no options to come in and see our loved one.

[Name removed] gave me a quick tour (as I requested) and I liked the community, the amenities and the room was spacious, clean and updated with fresh paint and new carpet.

One of the hardest thing that an adult child to, is when to place a parent in assisted living. I gradually began this process in Summer 2016. My mom memory loss was gradual, as the month progress in 2016, moms behavior, incuresty to when and how long I will gone, since I was mom's caregiver. Finally I took a tour given by [name removed] in March. I love the facility due to the services and knowing mom is in a safe place to live. The move final came on [date removed], mom was reluctant to go, with the help from the staff, got mom moved. Recently mom told me she likes where she lives, that is due to the support of each and everyone who works there. Myself I have peace knowing mom is a resident at American House-Elmwood [name removed]

This community did not compare to the community we chose. This is an old grade school that has been remodeled. This is a larger community with old steel doors. This community was more expensive than what we were looking for.

[Removed] was great and the tour excellent. I can see my mom living there. One delay is working to see how I can medicaid approval.
