Best decision I made

When my wife needed 24/7 care and was no longer ambulatory American House Cottage Grosse Pointe provided her with the care she needed. Because of her condition she could not actively participate in group activities so I can’t comment further on that aspect but I did notice that many activities were offered. White my wife was somewhat isolated staff made frequent visits and checked on her comfort, hygiene and diaper changes and also communicated with her. I visited various times of the day and night and found the same level of care every time I was there. As a result I felt confident of the care she was receiving. I it was costly but I felt she was extremely well cared for. All staff were supportive and with loving care

Hospice stay

American House provided a clean and safe place for my husband to stay while I had to be out of town for two weeks. The price was very reasonable and I did not have to commit to a longer period than I needed. The only complaint that I have is that I requested a couple of repairs be made to his room and these were never done. Otherwise everything was good including the food and the staff.

Poor operations

Some of the care staff are outstanding, very compassionate and caring of my loved one. However, the operations people, especially the head of it, simply do not care. There has been a bed bug infestation for months and they have handled things very poorly. It's shocking.

Beware: Serious Bed Bug Problem

American House Grosse Pointe has a serious problem with bed bugs and other pests. Bed bugs can be found throughout the facility, including the dining room. Unfortunately, the management has done little to address the problem. Residents are angry and frustrated, but their pleas are falling on deaf ears. The severe shortage of staff has left them powerless to help. The infestation will likely continue indefinitely. The location is excellent, and the building itself is nice, but the conditions make things unlivable for many.

Good place for loved one

My loved one, is not happy with the food, and complains that is is sometimes bland and cold. Overall, my loved one is still adjusting to the community. We picked this facility, becasue it is an exclusive community, and it gave my loved one the opportunity to connect with old friends.

Outstanding experience that exceeded expectations

We had a favorable opinion of the proximity of American House to our home, It is in a neighborhood setting so it felt more like home rather than a business setting. What was really stood out to us was the nice balance of activities throughout the month and it was things that any resident could take advantage of whether they were in independent living, assisted living, or like my mom memory care. She has transitioned into hospice care and they made that transition easy and seamless which is very important. The addition of the hospice care has been a plus. We would give our highest recommendations that others check out American House Cottage.

Highly recommend

We chose American House Cottage because of the availability of a unit at the time, the convenient location, and also the appearance of the facility, it was very clean. The main thing that I would tell others is that the management team here is very personable and helpful. I would definitely recommend to other families looking.

Strong staff with high quality operations

We chose American House Cottage because of the convenient proximity to our home and also I felt that they had a strong staff. We also like that it is in a residential area so we can go out and walk. At this location, the staff have a very caring attitude towards all residents and they are constantly trying to innovate new ideas and activities for all levels of care. I would recommend them to others who are looking

Nice location and nice facility. I was there right after lunch and barely saw anyone out and about, which was disappointing. I hoped to see people out of their rooms doing something. The focus of the tour was more open rooms than the actual services and activities that would be provided. Our main reason for moving mom is to increase her quality of life and get her doing more, and my tour did not give me that feeling moving her here would accomplish that.

Great Location !!

Upon arrival at this community for our tour the staff made sure to greet us in a timely manor with welcoming smiles. They gave us a detailed tour with lots of great information about the facility. This place was just very costly and way over priced in my opinion for a retired community.

A short stay

My brother was the guest at American House. He stayed four days as a trial visit. He was not comfortable there and left after four days. He has lived alone all his 94 years, and just could not adjust to group living. The family did not have a concern about the facilities, we did however question the confusion about his name. His name is Henry and his ID listed his name as Harvey. When I question it at the administration office they also had it wrong. This kind of mix up has the potential to cause problems. He was also upset that when they did get it straight, he was called Mr. Henry which of course he is not If there was a Mr. Henry at AH this also could cause a med. error. He is living at home with the assistance of in home care.
