I'm Only Rating the Food here. Be careful of the food in the Cafeteria.
We found out that all American House's carry the same menu, and buy their food from Gordon Food Service. If you need any kind of specialized diet like for heart, for diabetes, for no gluten, the option is NOT available at all. If your doctor gives you a prescription for a special diet, the Cafeteria can NOT accommodate you at all. The food served is full of sodium and sugar.
The food is mostly processed with lots of filler food like white pasta, white pototo's, white flower bakery items, white rice, and rich sweet desserts. The salad lettuce is the lowest quality available, which is iceburg lettuce. Vegetables, fruit, soup, drinks mostly all canned, processed food.
Very little fresh veggies, fruit or home made soup.
You MUST pay for the cafeteria option, There is NO provision to cancel the cafeteria food price.
Your welcome to buy and cook in your own apartment with your stove, fridge, that you pay to use, and provide your own microwave and small appliances.

American House is the one I’m going to, and it seems perfect for me. It seems very friendly. There were a group of people sitting outside in the sunshine and talking, and you could see people playing cards. It just seemed very active. The one I looked at was a 2-bedroom apartment, and it was completely empty as someone was ready to move in; they are polishing the floors. There’s a little refrigerator and a stove in the apartment. It’s very close to where my daughter lives.

American House Milford is 5-star but very expensive. It’s a very beautiful building. The people are also very nice. The apartments were nice.

I thought American House Milford was great. It was a beautiful place. I saw one apartment, and it was really nice. It was more than adequate. They had arts and crafts and movie nights. They also had a library and a pool table.

I toured this facility looking for a home for my mother-in-law. I liked it very much. I liked the size of everything... it wasn't overwhelming for an aging person. Experienced two different facilities when my mother was alive and when rooms are big, ceiling high, furniture heavy, etc. it is just too much for someone trying to adjust and feel "at home." I think my mother-in-law would find much comfort here... and I saw lots of residents talking and walking about, appeared happy and engaged in life/living. There were no apartments available for me to see but assume they are in good shape considering what I saw in the main areas. Now... to get my mother-in-law to move!

We saw American House Milford, and it was very expensive. They were very nice, and the place itself was gorgeous. I wouldn't mind staying there at all. It has a lot of activities, and it had everything I would want, but it is expensive. I have seen the room, and everything is beautiful. I love it, and if I could afford it, I would be there.

I thought American House was too dark and depressing. We didn't like the apartments. We found it to be very depressing and dark. It is very low lit, and it has dark carpets. The walls were gloomy; it was just dark, and we didn't like it. We didn't bother eating there because we didn't care for the place. We were just in there to walk around and take the tour, but we didn't care for it. We really thought it was nice that they had a heated parking garage below. That was kind of a unique feature for the elderly. They had some really nice features, but we didn't care for the atmosphere. It sounded like everything was nice, and people seemed to be happy there. But my sister and I like brighter things, more open, and not so tightly closed in. The person who took us on the tour was nice, and the tour was great. Everything was great. We just didn't like the building. It offered a lot; it's just our preference.

American House is right by my brother's house, that's how we came about this facility. I don't like it because it's an old building. We did go into a couple of rooms and they were okay, clean and nice; however, they were expensive. The tour guide was wonderful, but we never saw one resident. I like to talk to the residents and ask about the facility, but there was never one person anywhere. At the independent side, they were having an open house, so that one was way happier except the people who were sitting in a room were kind of sad. I talked to a few of them and they just said, "It's all okay. It's not home." What I didn't like about this facility, with my mom's dementia and if she was going to do the wandering thing, they just said that their residents could just wander around at night. I guess there was enough supervision. For activities, they did have a nice calendar of stuff.

You may have caught us on a day where many of our residents were out enjoying one of our activities or events! I'd like for you to stop by my office or call me personally and so we can discuss your concerns. Some of our residents do go through an adjustment period, as change does take some getting used to - particularly if they've left a lifetime home. We have American Houses around the area who can accommodate residents with dementia - give me a call if you're still looking and I can make a recommendation on the best place for your mother.

I saw American House. I wasn't that impressed with it. It was nice. It had amenities that were suitable. The staff members were good. The main issue I had is that you don't get a choice whether to eat in the common area or not. They tried to make you eat three times a day in the common area, but I have PTSD and an eating disorder, so I'm very nervous about that. Everything else was good, but that would be a no-go for me. Activities were awfully good. They had a lot of crafting things, a craft room, and an exercise area. Everything else was fairly good, but because of the food situation, I would give this community a 2 because it is not suitable for me.
