American House Keene

This facility is exceptional, even getting everything set up and helping my parents understand how all the amenities work was easy and pleasant. My folks LOVE their new apartment!!!

American House Keene was very nice but very expensive. The rooms were very small. They were one-bedroom rooms. I walked through the lobby, and I didn't see anybody. I walked into the gym, and I didn't see anybody. I walked into the dining room, and I didn't see anybody. I saw the game room and they were just sitting there at tables doing nothing. I went outside, they had a little garden, and the people were just sitting there doing nothing. I asked the staff that was taking me on tour, 'How do they spend their day?' And she said, 'Well, they do what they want.' And they're not doing anything. I met two other people. They took me out, we had coffee and we talked. But it was a promotional type conversation where they were talking about all the things they had to offer. They were very good, but I told them this was not for me. The staff were very detailed, very polite, and very efficient. They answered all my questions, but I didn't like it at all.

The American House Keene facility is clean, beautiful, very modern, and up to date. They have tons of activities and great food menus. Everyone speaks to you in the hall, whether they're a resident or an employee. Everyone is very helpful. I had lunch there a few months back, and I had no complaints about what I had. It was a salad and soup, and it was no canned soup. The only downfall there is they don't accept health insurance. It's the only thing standing in my way right now. They run neck and neck with everybody else.

We went to American House Keene and saw the whole complex. I liked the looks of it. I liked the location and it's near where my daughter works, so it's going to be handy. They were very thorough and told me what I needed to know. It seems like they have everything I would need, too. They provide three meals a day, they have beauty shops, and different stuff available.

My mother has moved into American House Keene. She's doing good. It's a beautiful location and it is nice. All the people that I've met so far are excellent. Their main goal was to support the residents there. What I like about it is they have so many daily activities for all the residents. They got their indoor theater, a salon, a little art area, and bingo and my mom loves bingo, so she enjoys it. It's cool. They have a library there that people can use. The activities and what they provide are just plain excellent. I don't have to worry about mom one bit. The nurses are taking care of her. All the people that work at that facility have one goal in mind and that's to make them, like my mom, very happy and so forth. When I first walked into that place, it just blew my mind away. It's excellent. It was a blessing. It happened they had an opening come up and I was able to get mom in there. It was awesome. They give them a monthly magazine published and in that magazine, they have the whole month of activities and they do, as a rule, probably a minimum of five activities a day. In the morning, they have their breakfast from 7:30 to 9:30. From there, they go into their little exercise at 9:30. At 10:30, they have a coffee hour. It's just plain awesome. From there, they go to lunch. Then they usually have some type of other activities, either cornhole or balloon volleyball. They have shuffleboards. They usually have two movies, one matinee, and then they have one later on in the evening. It runs for about an hour and a half. They got a beautiful place and everything is there. Mom can get her hair done or she can get a manicure and a massage. It's unreal. They have a bus and they go to the nearest shopping centers and if she needs to go to a doctor, they take her right to the doctor and no problem. Everything is cared for. Everything is provided for her. I can't say enough about it. Everybody that I spoke with was so polite and kind, and they got one goal in mind, to take care of the residents. She likes to do karaoke and she loves country western music and she's got her own machine, so they're going to set that up. Everybody wants her to get that because everybody's looking forward to singing. Mom has coordinated with the activity advisor and everything is cool. Mom loves it. I've met the chef. They have some awesome food. My brother and I ate six or seven meals from breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it's good. It's beautiful. It's an old mill that they converted over and they kept the theme throughout, throughout the windows, the same size, so the add-on was the same theme and everything else. It's nice. They keep everybody going and it's good. The whole purpose of having assisted living is to keep them occupied far as I'm concerned. For what they're doing, providing and offering, as far as I know, it's the best deal in the area for your money. The best bang for your buck, really, as far as I'm concerned.

I toured American House Keene assisted living and as far as everything, the amenities, the people, and the staff was excellent. The facilities were very clean, airy, and open. The setting was very, very good in terms of meeting my standards which is not just like any hospital setting, it was more of the homeyness. Somewhere that would be more conducive for anybody that needed those facilities to feel a little bit more like a home rather than in a clinical setting. It's also in a location that would be more convenient than the others that I had a chance to see. Their location was the best, and I don't need to go further.
