See what our residents and family members have to say!
I am 106 years old and I moved into [American House] Lakeshore when I was 102.
The staff is extremely kind and very helpful. The Director always makes everyone feel at home as well as family and friends who visit. They know the [residents] by name and go out of their way to make every day special.
My mother has been a resident of American House Wildwood for 2 years and absolutely loves it!
The staff are great, excellent chef prepared meals, bingo, entertainment and much more. We are thrilled that she is happy and thriving here.
They do so much for all the residents at Sterling Meadows.
My Dad has been a resident here for a while now and he loves it. He has made so many new friends [and] attends many Veteran based meetings as well as events. I couldn't be more happy and thankful with the type of place Sterling Meadows is.
I could not be more pleased with American House Zephyrhills.
All of the staff have been wonderful! They make [my mother] feel welcome, comfortable and happy and they treat her with dignity. I highly recommend American House Zephyrhills to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly and pleasant home for their loved one(s).
Cannot say enough good things about the staff and management of American House Lebanon.
They went above and beyond for my mother's care. Especially when her health began to decline. They treated her like she was their own mom. Definitely a great place for your loved one.
