I love the food options, especially the chicken and dressing! I enjoy putting together puzzles and attending the outings that are offered. We went to Carraba’s! The staff have been really good to me and help me whenever I need them.

The American Home is open. Bright. Clean. Staff is friendly..helpful..caring Many activities to get involved in Church and Bible studies for those who wish to join in Bus trips to visit places around town As I am not from this area it is all Interesting It is a happy place to live If you are happy so is everyone else

Beautiful community all laid out on one level with a nice indoor courtyard with a few raised flower beds that some of the residents love using for gardening and sitting out when the weather is nice. Most of the rooms seem renovated with what looks like hardwood type of flooring. The caregiver and nursing staff are polite and helpful plus upper management is usually ready to help out wherever needed. They have an excellent Activities calendar with the Activities director who has been there for almost a decade. Two visiting physicians come every week making it very easy for residents to access…

Beautiful community all laid out on one level with a nice indoor courtyard with a few raised flower beds that some of the residents love using for gardening and sitting out when the weather is nice. Most of the rooms seem renovated with what looks like hardwood type of flooring. The caregiver and nursing staff are polite and helpful plus upper management is usually ready to help out wherever needed. They have an excellent Activities calendar with the Activities director who has been there for almost a decade. Two visiting physicians come every week making it very easy for residents to access a primary care physician and get their medication’s/prescription refilled in a timely manner and I think there’s also Podiatry that comes every so often. There’s also in house part B outpatient therapy providers, and home health agencies that help with the overall care and well-being. Special shout out to Chris the Memory Care coordinator. Takes very good care of her residents and keeps them engaged throughout the day. I think it’s one of the best Memory Care units in the area. Last thing: they have a third shift nurse on staff. This is not very common in the assisted-living facilities in the area

We chose American house Shallowford mostly because it was within budget; but they made us feel very comfortable. The Staff has been wonderful! My mother-in-law has been there a year now, and she is happy. Best move we made for her and us!

People there are very nice. The rooms are clean. Food is good too. My mom loves it there. I can’t think of anything I would change about American House. My mom is 91 and has dementia so she is not able to take advantage of some of the activities but it’s a great place to be.

There seems to be a high turnover of staff so it's difficult to maintain a stable relationship with any of them as it relates to residents individual needs. Some (not all) staff ignore caring for bathroom reminders or undergarment changes for those who need that assistance. Staff on the weekend seems to be more inclined to this, possibly because they are short handed on weekends. IDK (?) Other staff really seem to care and try to do a good job, however.

My mom moved to American House Shallowford. It had everything that she needed. They had a doctor there and three nurses. Her apartment is very nice. She has a studio. She has her bed in there, her desk, and her TV. She has a little kitchenette area with just the sink, refrigerator, and bath. The bath was handicapped accessible. The staff is very helpful. I have a question and I can find someone to ask. I have seen the food. It looked good and smelled good. The facility has been updated. It looks nice and clean. They have several activities every day. They have a calendar and give her and tell her what's going on, and they have three meals.

My mother, [name removed], fell in love with the staff very quickly. The nurses, aides and administrators were quick to help her feel welcomed, valued and respected. Mom loved the food, her aides that assisted with showers and the meal assistance she received when she didn’t feel well enough to go to the dining room. Staff was not adequate on the weekends, in Mom’s opinion. I usually visited on Sundays so the weekends weren’t so long. My visits throughout the week were wonderful! I was always greeted very kindly and the aides always filled me in with any concerns as well as her success! I hope I get to stay at American House when I can no longer stay alone. Thank you so much for all the love through my mother’s final days.
