We only spent 10 weeks at America House before Mom passed away but the medical staff was fantastic. They took care of my the best way they could and the management staff was just as good thank you Kristy Amber, and all the rest of the America staff I would recommend America’s house to anybody that has to put their parents in assisted living. It’s way better than a nursing home 100 times over thank you so much, America House Joy.

The apartments were not updated.Management of the apartment itself is good,however, the Contracted-third-party medical team Influenced my decision-About this facility. They call themselves medical and there’s nothing medical about them. Very rude, not professional. If this facility contract with a new medical company, It would definitely be an upgrade. We Removed our family member immediately because of the medical team Not because of the Apartment unit. We found another location with real medical staffing. My family member/former tenant would push the call button and didn’t show up. I went to the medical office and observed them sitting around eating. One of them could have responded but chose not to. This happened a few times. Knowledgeable Medical staff is lacking at this facility. They have no knowledge with residence requiring CPAP care.. There were other issues with Other third-party company contracted with this facility. You’ve been warned.
