I toured American House Shallowford. It was more updated than the other place. It was a nicer and much larger facility. The activities director seemed great. She just really, really loved her job and loved the people that she worked with. The staff I met were very friendly, very kind and compassionate. They had all the same amenities as all the others. They had a salon and a doctor in-house. They seemed to have a lot of activities. It was just too big for my mom.

I liked that American House Shallowford felt kind of homey. They had more options for the types of rooms in the memory care. They had a courtyard and a salon. I think that they had fewer caregivers to residents, not significantly, but it just felt like they were unsettled. The staff seemed knowledgeable, but there wasn't as much interaction with us as in the other place we toured.

My husband is in American House Shallowford. The care is excellent. The service that they provide for him is excellent. It's very clean. He's satisfied there. They're very, very nice to him. They give him his medicine and take care of everything, help him bathe, and all that stuff. So I'm very satisfied. They have community rooms, and they have activities, but he is not participating. The rooms are roomy. The people working there, they're all very cordial. They're all very nice. They seem to have the patient's best interests at heart.

American House Shallowford was a wonderful place. They seemed to know all of their residents. We enjoyed the ability of the people that live there. We saw people walking around. There were very few people really in their rooms. They were out mingling with the others. Some were just walking up and down the halls and some were waiting at tables to eat. It was nice that we were able to talk to the chef and to the nurse that was on duty. It was just a homey and very nice place. We were very thrilled with it. We looked at a studio apartment and then we looked at a 1-bedroom apartment. They were bare, so we had to provide our own appliances and furniture. They had a courtyard. They would provide 3 meals a day. It was a rather small place with less than 50 residents. The person that was supposed to take us on a tour was in somebody else's office talking to somebody else. So, another person took us around and he sat in the boss's chair. It was kind of disjointed at first, but it went very well overall. He knew all the answers to our questions, and he did a great job. They were remodeling some offices in some buildings. This used to be a different facility and they were cleaning it up and making it theirs. So, as new residents come in, if you want a wood floor, they'll put that down. If you want carpet, they'll put that down and they'll paint the room for you.

My mother is in memory care at American House Shallowford. It is a little bit better than average. It's been bought by somebody else and they are renewing all of their painting, furniture, flooring, and everything. It's going to be new, so that's one good thing. They play games, they do trivia, they watch TV together, and they eat together. My mom is able to be social. She's got some people to talk to, whereas here it was just the two of us in the house. It's a much better place for her socially. She eats the food. She uses the common areas in the memory care every day. She, not that I know of, does not take part in the common areas in the assisted living, but that's an option for her to take part in. We walk around the entire facility. I go for walks with her and we go through all of the areas inside and, weather permitting, outside. The staff is very nice. They're very good to her.

The rooms at American House Shallowford were of nice size. Everyone that we saw seemed to be very happy in the memory care part. It was bright, it wasn't dark and dreary. The staff who gave me the tour was very happy, upbeat, and very knowledgeable about assisted living and memory care. She said the memory care was the part she loved the most,nd a that's why she was working there. She knew and spoke to the residents and they carried on some conversations with her. She seemed very, very nice. Another lady came in that works there. I don't remember what her position was, but she was very upbeat too. I liked her. They're in the middle of updating everything. The whole place was clean. The room that they showed us was newly painted and updated. They have an enclosed garden area for memory care. I know they have a lot of activities during the day, but I don't know the details of that.
