Carol 2018-11-19 My friend is at American House in Spring Lake and its a very nice community. It was very clean and the staff was very nice. The staff treats you very well, are very informative, help you out, and they seem very caring. The place is modern and the rooms are a nice size and private. It seems like they have all kinds of activities two to three times a day with crafts, they get their nails done, and take them on trips. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Michael071867 2016-09-30 We liked American House Spring Lake Senior Living, and we liked the facilities. The apartments that we wanted to get into are $1700 for the first person and $400 for another. We only get $2680, so that would have left us maybe $300 or $400 for everything else, so the lady pointed out these other apartments that were almost like cottages that we get into for $1175 a month. The place was clean, nice, warm, and friendly. I couldn't say anything bad about that place. They've got dishwashers in their apartments and nice views all around. Everything in the place was immaculate. It was very well laid-out NS very bright, and the residents that we've met were friendly. There was a lady there, and she was a peach and very competent and knowledgeable about everything. She did a lot to help us and gave us information and stuff. I visited this facility

Adriane564706 2016-09-02 My mother is at Oak Crest Communities - Spring Lake, and I am very impressed with it. It has not been a difficult change for her, and she's doing very well. They have activities, and they bring in country music performers. They serve a light breakfast and a large lunch. For dinner, the residents are on their own. If she were in the assisted living area, then she would get dinner, too. Assisted living is twice as much money per month. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring118778550 2016-01-26 We like American House Spring Lake because they let my mother have her dog. It was convenient to where my husband, and I live. The staff is very nice. They have bingo, movie nights, cards, a library, a beauty shop, and a fitness center. I am a friend or relative of a resident

relative of a resident 2015-07-06 The facility itself is a nice size. The staff very nice, as well. I would give five stars, if the food was better. The problem is the food. We have been told it will be better now that it has become American House-owned, but it never happened. With it being summer, there is supposed to be more fresh produce (we've been told that for a few years now) -- but that never happens. The food service company never seems to improve.

Caring95704350 2014-10-16 Oak Crest was very friendly, welcoming, and I can’t say anything bad about them. It is a large facility and the rooms were very nice. They have bingo, games, shopping, and movies. We had lunch, and the meals were all pretty good and nutritious. The people that we talked to were very happy; they like living there. I like the grounds, it is well-kept, and it is in a better location. I visited this facility

Randi2 2014-07-02 I was very surprised at the quality of assisted living places in this area. It was a beautiful facility with perks and activities. They had beauty shops. They encouraged us to come in for a meal at lunchtime or at dinner time to get a feel of the place. I visited this facility

GuiCyber 2011-06-30 My grandpa moved into Oak Crest Manor after my grandma died. At first he was living in one of the units where he had his own apartment and was still able to cook and do things for himself. That part of the facility was really nice and he liked to be able to go meet people in the group area and he enjoyed being able to choose to go to dinner in the very nice dining room. His apartment was really nice and large and clean and he had a great view. The grounds were also very nice. But when he started to get sicker he was moved to the assisted living unit where he did not really have any freedom at all. The place always smelled really strongly of antiseptic and it was just really depressing. The food was terrible and he always complained about how awful it was. He began having to spend most of his time in his room, which was really tiny and dark. I think he was really lonely. The staff all seemed pretty nice, but it never seemed like they had much time or interest in interacting with the patients on a personal level. I know that they did often wheel my grandpa to the front of the building so he could sit outside, but most of the time he just watched TV in his room. I just wish there had been more for him to do and someone for him to talk to. When he died the staff were really kind, which was really great. Overall I think his is a very good facility. I just wish it wasn't quite so depressing for the resident's and that they had more activities and things to fill their time with. I visited this facility

Terry 2019-12-13 American House Spring Lake had gorgeous apartments and the people were very nice, but it's a little too pricey for me. It's got four different divisions where if a person gets sick, they go to the next level, and they don't leave the premises. They had memory care, geriatric care, and sometimes hospice comes in. We saw 2 and 1-bedroom apartments, and they were all nicely laid out and very clean. I wouldn't complain moving in there. They all seemed pretty active, very happy and very cheerful. The staff and the manager were very nice. He even gave me an apple pie. He was very informative and answered all our questions. They showed us a movie room, a library, a sitting room, and place where people play pool. They're very well equipped. I visited this facility

Tami10 2016-03-15 The apartments at American House Spring Lake were much bigger than expected. The staff was very helpful. The kitchen staff was very caring and followed up with residents who don't come to lunch to make sure they are OK. The person who runs activities was very involved and talked to the residents. The only issue that we've had is that the administrator is extremely difficult to get a hold of and doesn't return phone calls. I visited this facility
