We visited American House Jenison, which is a smaller community. The staff members were very helpful, and they recommended we try another community, which is where my mom ended up going. The woman that interviewed us was superb. It's just that the rooms were smaller than what we had hoped. It was a very positive community all around.

American House is an older facility, the staff is okay, but seemed preoccupied. The food was okay. They go to Myers every other week.

The tour at American House was very nice. The people were very nice. The rooms were adequate, but they only had pull cords in the bathroom and bedroom. If you fall away from a cord, it doesn't do you any good. The cost was comparable to other places.

We moved into American House. It is not perfect, but people are in our age range, and we get fed every day at noon. We have enough room. We do morning walks, have crafts, and play cards. Dinner is social time, too, and they serve the meals in the middle of the day. They have a beauty shop and a shuttle bus. The staff is outstanding.

American House was a large building with very nice, new rooms and a big gathering place. The people that worked there were very friendly and helpful. They had programs for helping people adjust to living there. We had lunch there, and the food was very good. However, they have a waiting list.

We liked American House well enough. It felt decent, it was clean, and the staff was nice. They had a few residents that my parents were able to speak to, and they seemed really nice. It’s just not what we need right now. I think it was a decent home, and a place I would be comfortable.

My parents put their name in at American House Jenison. The whole facility was very beautiful, especially the dining room, and all of their amenities were in a location that’s extremely convenient, not only for my husband’s parents but for family members to visit. It’s in a really good, central location. The staff was great. The person in admissions, who gave us the tour, was obviously very proud of the facility and did a really good job of letting the facility speak for itself. She wasn’t high-pressure or anything like that, but she was thorough in showing us what they had to offer. They have a billiards room, a library, a movie theater, a game room, and all kinds of walking trails outside. They exceeded our expectations.

The staff at American House is phenomenal. Everything has been great; I have no complaints. I’ve got a one bedroom apartment, it’s got a bay window, it’s very bright, and it’s so nice having the room to move around in. They have crafts, card games, some stretching exercise, and a weekly or biweekly trip. The food is excellent, and there are no problems there. We have two full time people during the day and one during the night; the security is fine.

I liked American House Jenison right away. It's all on one floor. It's not elaborate, but it's clean and nice. The people are nice. Where my mom is, there are little houses. There are 20 to a house, and it's bright and cheery. The people are nice. They keep them occupied, and I don't have any complaints. The floor plan is nice. You walk in, and to your right is the kitchen/dining room, and down the one hall is where they get their hair done. They also have a whirlpool bath. The rooms go off in different directions, and they are nicely sized. I really can't say anything bad about it. The food is good. They have dominos every night and bingo. They go on bus rides on Monday and Friday, Thursday is hair day, and they get their nails done. They have a musical therapist that comes in.

We've registered for a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath villa which is detached from the main lodge. It has a laundry facility within the unit which we really liked, all utilities are paid, and there's extra storage space. We're going into independent living. The staff seemed very friendly and competent. We experienced a luncheon and the food service seems to be good.

I like everything about American House. It’s fairly new, beautifully decorated, and very well-kept. I really like the option; it was month to month, you did not have to buy-in, and there wasn’t a lease contract. The lady gave us the tour, and we were in the dining hall a little bit. It was nice. We didn’t meet any residents or anything, but it seemed nice. If you could get a main floor unit it was really because you had an exterior door. That was really a nice option. The unit that they happen to show us was up at on the third floor at the end of the hall so that was probably our biggest concern with my mom, because the dining hall was on the main floor. They showed us the pool room. There was something different every day. We have been on the waiting list for one year, and they told us it would be another year or more.

My dad and mom have been at American House Jenison since last August. Their independent living buildings are brand new. They work very well with trying to get your loved ones into the place. The community is along a busy street, but it's very quiet.

I thought the people were rather snooty. American House didn’t seem as nice. The rooms seemed spacious enough and everything, but the atmosphere wasn’t as nice. They had different buildings, and there was a large choice of where to stay.

American House Jenison is a very nice facility, everything was clean, it appeared new, and the staff was very nice. There was an activity room, a dining room, and it was a small group of patients, so it was a small dining room.
