A New Living Lifestyle

Overall, the staff has been very pleasant and the food is good. My dad is not an extrovert and had a hard time "fitting in" his first few weeks. It w/be nice if there were staff or residents to prompt him to attend activities and show him where they were located. You advertise Eucre, but only 1 or 2 people showed up. I stayed so they would have a 4th person to play. He got lost several times in the bldg since the 2 sides only connect on the 1st floor. A high level map of main rooms would help. We also had a billing issue the first month. Instead of reducing his monthly amount by the mid-month start and veteran's discount, they added it to his total. It was a good thing we had a few extra thousand in the checking or other auto payments and checks would have bounced. He is now "settling in" and is adjusting to his new living environment.

Nice and caring place, would recommend

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Facility was clean and homey. plenty of social activities for residents. I would have given the place a 5 but we did have some hiccups with dispensing of meds by med staff. Things were eventually resolved but there was still room for improvement.

They offer special deals from time to time on new incoming people. Apartment sizes are spacious with lots of storage space. They also have balconies.

A great place for aging people.

The location of American House Riverview is close by where my parents lived and also close to the hospital. Be ready to lose your wallet.

Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at American House Riverview Senior Living and the overall experience was okay for her there. However, the yearly rent increases were hard. Medical care also increased yearly. Yet, no improvement in care level. American House is understaffed and when new staff is added they are not trained on individual care.

It took awhile for my mom to settle in at American House Riverview Senior Living. But once doing so, she really likes it there. Everyone is friendly, the place is always clean and the care (as long as they are not shorthanded) is excellent.

The place is disgusting period !

The place is dirty and the food is terrible ! I went to visit a friend who had surgery so i went down to pick up her so called dinner and oh my god i could not even believe they served that slop ! You had two options either a microwave type nasty hamburger or a under cooked almost raw potato slop with some kind of ham look alike product thrown on it. Do not go here and if you have anyone you care about go somewhere else !!!! I am reporting this place to the health department immediately.

Overall this is a Good Place

We picked this community, because it was close to my home and had better ratings than others in the area. Also cost was a factor. My loved one likes it there and has made friends. Sometimes she's not happy with some of the meals, and would like a few more options. I would recommend this place to friends.

Our experience at American House Riverview

My loved one is a resident at American House Riverview Senior Living. I would have rated this facility much higher if it wasn't for the medical team. From the beginning, with only a few exceptions, they have proven to be useless. My loved one's condition/care and assistance needs have changed since she first came to this facility. The staff is not well trained and have made comments that have made my loved one feel terrible. She went from independence to being almost shamed. After complaining, both she and I, things have improved a bit. I would completely discourage anyone who needs medical/ physical care to come to this place.

Would not recommend. Not a place for age-related macular degeneration.

The place would be much better if you had eyesight. For a blind person, it's not the place you want to be. They come once a week to do light cleaning, which isn't' enough for residents with visual impartment. Asking the staff questions is like chasing your tail trying to get answers. Some are good, and some really don't care. Meals are terrible and do not live up to what they told us to expect. And activities are not inclusive.

My mother loves living there. She can't wait for BINGO. She has met a bunch of friends. Misses the fresh fruit to take back for a snack later. Would definitely recommend American house to any friends or families looking for a great facility.

Not worth the money.

It was not worth the money. With the medical team, it felt like all they were concerned about was the money, and they did not show concern for my loved one as an individual.

Tour experience

We did not care for American House Riverview at all. When you walk in it feels like you are walking into an institution, it is not homey feeling. The dining room looks like a cafeteria and the apartments were not near as nice as some others we had seen. It was also much more expensive.

Highly recommend

We chose American House because of the size of the apartment, they seemed to offer a lot of things such as medication management, 24 hour medical security, etc. and the facility was very clean. All of the staff have been very open and friendly and always call each resident by name and greet everyone in passing. I would definitely recommend them and already have many times.

The staff members would be more than a 10, they are amazing. The activities are a hit or miss and due to the state requirements if someone tests positive they have to shut back down and quarantine. However, the activities director does an amazing job with what she can.

Our tour experience

Out of everything we saw, this was the place that was immaculate. This would be the one I would recommend. I really wanted to get my loved one in here, but just couldn’t afford it. The woman we dealt with here was very nice, had a great sense of humor, talked to us, answered all of our questions. If I could give higher than 5 stars I definitely would.
