All American Assisted Living at Londonderry

The people at All American Assisted Living are very friendly and very accepting of responsibility. I always feel I have to apologize when they call and tell me my mother did something weird, like trying to smack the staff or something. And they're like, "Look, you need to stop apologizing, this is what we do. There's nothing wrong with your mother. It's just this is what happens when people get old." It's very nice actually that somebody makes me feel like they're taking care of her, and I don't have to apologize when she does something like that. The rooms are very clean, very predictable, just very nice actually. She's not doing anything yet, but I know they have all kinds of stuff. They have music, dances, they have a little tiny golf putting green out front, Trivia nights, bingo, and all kinds of stuff. It's only been a few days. The staff is excellent and very nice. They did a little Applebee's style song and dance, one of those silly, clapping happy dances when my mother came in to welcome her, which was kind of nice. It's clean, the hallways are wide, and it doesn't smell bad at all. It smells very new, which is good because a lot of times in an elderly facility, they have a smell like bleach or cleaner. There's no smell at all. There is no feeling of luxury there, but it's not a complaint, it's just a fact. It really wasn't a lot more than a regular elderly apartment.

All American Assisted Living at Londonderry has both residential and assisted living. The layout was very good. The shared apartment units had individual bedrooms with a shared living area. There are also individual units and studio-type units. The rooms were a good size and came with a TV.

We have put my mother at All American in Londonderry. I liked it because it was a newer facility, near family, and very affordable. She plays bingo, goes to movie night, exercises, dances, and does arts and crafts; she does pretty much everything. Her primary care doctors come weekly to the facility. They have two primary care doctors to choose from if you want to use them. The staff has been accommodating and friendly.
