Bill 2021-10-26 American House Riverview was our best bet. It's a nice place. The rooms were nice. It had some amenities that were nice. It had a nice view when you look outside. The staff during the tour did a good job, and she was nice. They offered coffee and water. They had a patio. The people that I met were real nice. I visited this facility

Heidi 2021-07-10 American House Riverview is a very nice facility. The lady that was showing me around was very nice. The prices are kind of expensive, but they're pretty much like everybody else, and even a lot lower than some of these places. But I found it to be a very nice facility. The staff who gave the tour was knowledgeable, very friendly, seemed to be pretty outgoing, and knew the residents that we ran into. With the COVID, they're alternating their dining room with the residents. But they're hoping to be done with that soon. Price-wise, it's within our price range. I visited this facility

Ann Marie 2021-05-11 Our tour at American House Riverview was very good. They even took us into a unit. We were interested in a two-bedroom, she had a two-bedroom she could show us, and she took us there. She showed us the dining room, and it was a really good experience. Personally, if I could talk my parents into moving anywhere, I would talk them into going there. The staff was very nice and very informative, and they answered all of our questions. We like the layout; the only thing that was a little bit of an issue for my mom would be that some of the apartments are a long way from the elevator. She gets a little tired walking long distances, but they did have places she could sit and rest before she kept going, so that was nice. Everything was really clean. We saw the dining room, the library, the little chapel that they have and also use for activities, and the little outdoor space that they have. Because of COVID, they couldn't really introduce us to a lot of the people. I met a few of the people who live there, and they seemed really nice, but I didn't see a lot of the staff. I visited this facility

G.F. 2021-01-11 My mother has been living here for a couple of months now and loves it. Great employees, good food, and well maintained. Beautiful grounds and most of the apartments have patios! Highly recommend American House in Riverview. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

ReviewerJan12 2020-01-23 We're happy with American House Riverview, but there are things that can be improved on. There's medical help available at the facility, but we didn't understand how that worked at first. We needed help with bathing and we had my parents set up for that and they don't come. When you don't need them, they come. My parents are not too happy about the quality of the food. The staff is friendly, and it seems that the residents like the facility. They have Bingo, trips to the grocery store, and social trips to functions. It's a little expensive. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Lanny744068 2016-08-18 At American House, they had meals delivered to you and charged $5 a meal. The place was a little older, but they are remodelling it. It looked to me that they had older and more subdued people. I visited this facility

MichaelBLMYN 2016-05-10 The apartments that I looked at in American House Riverview were in very good shape. There was one on the ground level that was OK, but it had a really mossy smell, like there was a water leak or something. As far as appearance and cleanliness goes, it was very nice. The staff were very friendly. When I arrived in their lobby, there was an activity going on, and everybody looked very happy. I was not able to eat there, but they did send some chocolate chip cookies home with me that were fabulous. I visited this facility

Donald32 2015-03-11 American House was very receptive to talking to people, showing them around, and trying to assist them in making up their minds. I like it, I could easily move in here if I have to, and the staff was very helpful. It seemed that the rooms were a little smaller but acceptable. There were many individuals the day I was in. I visited this facility

Caring106826350 2015-02-27 American House was nice and clean. I didn't interact with the staff that much, but everyone there seemed nice. However, if they could lower their rate that would help, financially. It had more amenities. If ever I had a stroke, I could stay in my own home and let them manage my medicine and physical therapy. That would have been wonderful. I visited this facility

Caring75290950 2014-09-27 My mother is in American House. She has one-bedroom. It is a nice place for her so far. She receives good care from the staff. Their food and dining area are good from what I have observed. They have someone who comes by and plays music for them. They have activities like bingo and others. The place is quite expensive, but it is where my mother wants to be. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Rmohle1 2013-12-30 American House Riverview Senior Living is a nice facility. It's huge. They did a really nice job in showing us around. It was kind of crowded during the tour because the ladies were in the lobby getting ready for a bingo game. I visited this facility

Caring74308950 2013-12-01 There are two or three communities that I visited and since I live near American House, it seems to be the most advantageous for my loved one. I also chose this place for the fact that it is in my neighborhood and it is a nice facility. It also seems to be newer. The staff is very good. The rooms are clean. I think they have cards, bingo, reading activity, etc., for their residents. They also have guest speakers coming in and things like that. However, they could improve on food. In the scale of 1 to 5, I would give their food a 3. I am a friend or relative of a resident

lisa88897 2012-09-26 My aunt lives at American house. She has lived there for 3 years and seems to like it very much. The have a lot of locations all over the US. We live in MI and there are many locations here. She lives nearly 15 minutes from the rest of the family so it makes it evry convenient to visit her any time. I would recommend American house from all that I have seen in the 3 years my aunt has lived there. I am a friend or relative of a resident

kelandsuzie 2012-05-18 I thought the facility was very nice. The living quarters are one or two bedroom apartments. They have a full dining facility for the residents so they can get breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks. The staff I met while I was there were very friendly and knowledgeable. It appeared the staff thoroughly love their jobs and the people that live there. The apartments were spacious so that my grandmother would still maintain her feeling of independence. They provide everything that their residents would need right there at the facility. For instance, they have a beautician and a barber available for the residents. They also have a garden which my grandmother loved. It is a small community so I feel confident they would be able to provide my grandmother with the attention she would require. My grandmother was very excited about the bingo they have at the facility and the outings they take the residents on. I visited this facility

PlusOne 2012-03-09 This assisted living home was very nice. My great aunt lived here for a length of time and, although she was reluctant at first, I think that she grew to enjoy it. The staff always seemed very friendly to my family and I when we would visit, and my great aunt said that they took good care of her. The area my great aunt lived in was very nice; well taken care of, clean, looked relatively new, and offered her a sense of independence by allowing her to cook if she wanted to. In general, the facilities seemed very nice; we were able to eat in the dining area with her when we visited and the staff were always very friendly. Additionally, they took care of her and seemed to know her likes and dislikes. My family appreciated their attention to detail.

Doris 2021-10-17 We toured American House Riverview. The only thing I didn't care for was the full-size kitchen stove. You get three meals a day there, so I see no reason that I would use the stove. I prefer a kitchenette and I could bring my microwave, toaster, and coffeepot and I'd be set to go. Otherwise, the unit was impeccably clean and it was very nice. It was a bit smaller than the other place I visited, but not that much. It had a balcony, which was nice. If you don't want to go trekking all over the place, you can sit on your balcony. Everything else was really good. We're going to go back there to see one of their programs that are coming. It's about a ship Edmund Fitzgerald and my husband worked on building that ship. We are going to see that because he has a lot of memories of that. They had plenty of things to do. The residents were all having lunch and seemed to be enjoying it. They were happy campers. Everybody waved and anybody that we came in contact with was more than friendly. It seemed like a very, very friendly place. The atmosphere was wonderful. We have not crossed it off our list. They had two available two bedrooms and that is very important. I didn't see anything that would be below a 5. They're kind and we were not rushed. We were able to look at things. It was a very pleasant day. We had a very informational packet that we've each gone through a couple of times to refresh. Everything was A1. They showed us sample plates of the lunch, and it looked very appetizing. You have two choices right away and then if you don't like either one of them, you tell them and they'll work up what you want. They gave us a good three months of menus to look at and it all looked very yummy. I visited this facility

Diane 2021-09-29 I am at the American House Riverview and I love it here. I feel safe, I'm happy. and I'm well-fed. I've met people and have made friends already, but with the little bit of savings that I have right now, I have to pull every month from that to pay for my cable, my alert necklace, and everything else. Still, it's a great place. They play bingo and cards here, then if I'm running low on milk, I can go down to the dining room and just get milk, juice, tea, pop, or lemonade. You can just go right in and ask one of the workers and they'll do it for you. If you want a banana, apple, oranges, cookies, crackers, soup, or anything that you can imagine that you would want as an extra, they have it available to you. So, they're great people here, that's why I don't want to leave. I am/was a resident of this facility

Jean 2021-07-05 My brother-in-law has been in the American House Riverview. It's a fantastic place. What I like about them is the quality of care they provide. The food's good and everything. The layout is real good too. They have a lot of activities on their board and his room is real nice. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Brenda 2021-06-23 My aunt put a deposit down at the American House Riverview. They handled us with excellent care. They did anything and everything, and they went above and beyond in making us feel welcome, helping us out, and being very patient. They have bingo, a theater room, and trivia. As far as activities go, they have quite a bit of things to offer. The rooms are really nice. They take good care of everything. Everything is clean and neat. I visited this facility

Cheryl 2021-03-21 I liked American House Riverview. They answered all our questions, and they're available by phone. I get emails and phone calls. They always call back, although they are usually available by phone, and I don't even have to leave a message. My dad is in independent living. We got the keys, we knew which door to use, and we had a scheduled move-in time and date so that we wouldn't be interrupted by anybody else trying to do the same thing. The room he's in is much like the apartment he had before. I think it's good; it's adequate. I think he's played cards, but they're still being careful about their face-to-face interactions. They have meals as part of the package. He likes the food. They're expensive, but more affordable than a lot of the other places like them. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

ReviewerVT122320202 2021-02-03 American House Riverview was a nice place, but it was not what my mom needed, and it was the only reason we left; they could not offer what she needed. The experience was very good. They took care of her and they helped out as much as they could considering it was independent and we were not paying for any assistance. The staff was very good. The food was as good as it could be considering that it is COVID and they're not serving them a hot meal. Her room was very nice. The community was very clean. They had some activities, but you had to sign up for them, and she did not go to any of them. They are only allowing three to five people at one time doing something. The outdoor spaces were nice. I could not fault them for the food being cold because it was out of their control. They could not keep it hot to bring it to the rooms, but other than that, the preparation and stuff like that was OK. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Cheryl 2020-10-08 American House Riverview was probably the only place that we could afford. It was very nice. I wouldn't have any problems putting my mom there. They do everything for the person living there. They're very nice, and they have good accommodations. It looks like they have good food. They really take good care of the people like they're supposed to. The lady that I met was so wonderful to us. It was a beautiful facility. I loved it. I visited this facility

Dennis 2018-09-20 American House Senior Living Riverview was a great community. The staff was very outgoing, polite, and answered all our questions really well.

Sue3 2014-06-25 At American House, you didn't have to pay for the three meals, so it was a little cheaper. It was a nice community, too. The location was quite well. The rooms were a good size. They were all really nice. The grounds were all pretty. The facility was surrounded by lattice trees, and that was really nice. The staff was very nice and very informative. I visited this facility

EThomas 2014-05-22 My father liked American House because it was a close enough distance for everybody to go visit him. It's about 25 minutes from my house. The staff was kind, but they were also very knowledgeable and efficient. Any questions or whatever he had, they were right on with the answers for him. The rooms were very efficient, nice, and the colors that they used were inviting. He liked that. They didn't look like a nursing facility. They have everything that would interest seniors. He likes playing games and doing big activities; that interests him most. I visited this facility

Oh, those ladies and their bingo! Everyone gets very excited for our activities here, so I apologize if they were blocking your tour at all (but at least it was because people were about to have some fun!).

There are two or three communities that I visited and since I live near American House, it seems to be the most advantageous for my loved one.

In the scale of 1 to 5, I would give their food a 3.

You're right -- we do indeed offer quite a plethora of activities and events for our residents! And even though most people tell us our food options here are great, it is nice to have your feedback for where we may be able to improve. If you have any recommendations on what we should try, please let me know. Thank you!

Provider Response

Thank you for giving us your feedback about American House Riverview, ShortayD! Our staff works very hard to provide varied entertainment that is enjoyable for our residents. We also work hard to make sure our residents are happy. In fact, we just hired a corporate chef to assist in menu planning and presentation! And it may seem that our building is large, but it is sized so we can accommodate a good number of individual residences "” meaning, more men and women can enjoy our independent living arrangements. We also find our residents can quickly navigate their way around in no time at all. Please know that my door is always open. Thanks again for your feedback ShortayD.

Dear kelandsuzie,

Thank you so very much for your comments! And thank you for trusting us to provide your grandmother with the attention she deserves "” and since she is excited about the bingo, she will surely enjoy all the other activities she can join in on.

We take great care in making sure our residents are comfortable here and we try to provide everything they need. If you ever have any suggestions, or if you just want to stop in and say hello, my door is always open.

Independent Living Reviews for American House Riverview

October 17, 2021

I visited this facility

We toured American House Riverview. The only thing I didn't care for was the full-size kitchen stove. You get three meals a day there, so I see no reason that I would use the stove. I prefer a kitchenette and I could bring my microwave, toaster, and coffeepot and I'd be set to go. Otherwise, the unit was impeccably clean and it was very nice. It was a bit smaller than the other place I visited, but not that much. It had a balcony, which was nice. If you don't want to go trekking all over the place, you can sit on your balcony. Everything else was really good. We're going to go back there to see one of their programs that are coming. It's about a ship Edmund Fitzgerald and my husband worked on building that ship. We are going to see that because he has a lot of memories of that. They had plenty of things to do. The residents were all having lunch and seemed to be enjoying it. They were happy campers. Everybody waved and anybody that we came in contact with was more than friendly. It seemed like a very, very friendly place. The atmosphere was wonderful. We have not crossed it off our list. They had two available two bedrooms and that is very important. I didn't see anything that would be below a 5. They're kind and we were not rushed. We were able to look at things. It was a very pleasant day. We had a very informational packet that we've each gone through a couple of times to refresh. Everything was A1. They showed us sample plates of the lunch, and it looked very appetizing. You have two choices right away and then if you don't like either one of them, you tell them and they'll work up what you want. They gave us a good three months of menus to look at and it all looked very yummy.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I am at the American House Riverview and I love it here. I feel safe, I'm happy. and I'm well-fed. I've met people and have made friends already, but with the little bit of savings that I have right now, I have to pull every month from that to pay for my cable, my alert necklace, and everything else. Still, it's a great place. They play bingo and cards here, then if I'm running low on milk, I can go down to the dining room and just get milk, juice, tea, pop, or lemonade. You can just go right in and ask one of the workers and they'll do it for you. If you want a banana, apple, oranges, cookies, crackers, soup, or anything that you can imagine that you would want as an extra, they have it available to you. So, they're great people here, that's why I don't want to leave.

My brother-in-law has been in the American House Riverview. It's a fantastic place. What I like about them is the quality of care they provide. The food's good and everything. The layout is real good too. They have a lot of activities on their board and his room is real nice.

Provider Response

My aunt put a deposit down at the American House Riverview. They handled us with excellent care. They did anything and everything, and they went above and beyond in making us feel welcome, helping us out, and being very patient. They have bingo, a theater room, and trivia. As far as activities go, they have quite a bit of things to offer. The rooms are really nice. They take good care of everything. Everything is clean and neat.

I liked American House Riverview. They answered all our questions, and they're available by phone. I get emails and phone calls. They always call back, although they are usually available by phone, and I don't even have to leave a message. My dad is in independent living. We got the keys, we knew which door to use, and we had a scheduled move-in time and date so that we wouldn't be interrupted by anybody else trying to do the same thing. The room he's in is much like the apartment he had before. I think it's good; it's adequate. I think he's played cards, but they're still being careful about their face-to-face interactions. They have meals as part of the package. He likes the food. They're expensive, but more affordable than a lot of the other places like them.

American House Riverview was a nice place, but it was not what my mom needed, and it was the only reason we left; they could not offer what she needed. The experience was very good. They took care of her and they helped out as much as they could considering it was independent and we were not paying for any assistance. The staff was very good. The food was as good as it could be considering that it is COVID and they're not serving them a hot meal. Her room was very nice. The community was very clean. They had some activities, but you had to sign up for them, and she did not go to any of them. They are only allowing three to five people at one time doing something. The outdoor spaces were nice. I could not fault them for the food being cold because it was out of their control. They could not keep it hot to bring it to the rooms, but other than that, the preparation and stuff like that was OK.

American House Riverview was probably the only place that we could afford. It was very nice. I wouldn't have any problems putting my mom there. They do everything for the person living there. They're very nice, and they have good accommodations. It looks like they have good food. They really take good care of the people like they're supposed to. The lady that I met was so wonderful to us. It was a beautiful facility. I loved it.

American House Senior Living Riverview was a great community. The staff was very outgoing, polite, and answered all our questions really well. They showed us one of the rooms, the kitchen, and the dining area. Everything was just great and I fell in love with it. Their facilities were great and they looked spotless.

At American House, you didn't have to pay for the three meals, so it was a little cheaper. It was a nice community, too. The location was quite well. The rooms were a good size. They were all really nice. The grounds were all pretty. The facility was surrounded by lattice trees, and that was really nice. The staff was very nice and very informative.

Provider Response

I visited this facility

My father liked American House because it was a close enough distance for everybody to go visit him. It's about 25 minutes from my house. The staff was kind, but they were also very knowledgeable and efficient. Any questions or whatever he had, they were right on with the answers for him. The rooms were very efficient, nice, and the colors that they used were inviting. He liked that. They didn't look like a nursing facility. They have everything that would interest seniors. He likes playing games and doing big activities; that interests him most.

Provider Response

We do like to think of our community as a home that just so happens to have lots of neighbors with similar interests! I’m glad your father liked it here, and I’m sure he will certainly enjoy himself socializing with everyone during all of our varied activities we have - and, if he has any ideas, I’d love to get his input! Don’t hesitate to call me should you have any questions.
