Do Not Take Your Loved One Here

They were not prepared for my mother on move in day. No one knew she was moving in. Her apartment shower was not working, there was a leak in her ceiling. She was only there 6 days. She developed a Stage II decubitus ulcer, because no one came to check on her even when she rang her call button. She did not have a working shower the 6 days they had to transport her down the hall to another bathroom. It was a horrific experience. I am a registered nurse, and did my research. I thought this was going to be a wonderful facility for my mother, but could not have been more disappointed. American House did refund my mothers deposit.

Don't send your loved one there. Understaffed, poor maintenance. Power and elevator constantly inoperable in the independent living wing.

Review for American House Sarasota

I would say that the accommodations are spacious and the setting beautiful, but unless communication between staff and inmates has gotten better I'd stay away from them. We picked this community because, I grew up in the Florida of the 40s and 50s with old oaks and water views. It reminded me of my childhood and was comforting in its beauty.

Our family's experience

My parents were both in Memory Care. It was great that they could live together even though my stepfather did not need that level of care. I feel that if he had not lived there with my mother the care would have been way worse. Staff shortages, lack of communication between managers and workers, no director (now they have hired one), overnight care lacking and on and on. Overall cleanliness was good. Friendly staff. The friendliest were the laundry girls and the cleaning girls. My mother passed away at the end of [date removed]. My stepfather stayed a couple more months and moved out last week. There was not a consistent level of care. There was also a lack of communication with the residents pertaining to care protocols. Meals were on time and food was plentiful. Lots of snacks and drinks. Quality of the food was good. Activities are varied and frequent. Also many opportunities to go off property. Social and dining are really good. The facility has to work on staffing correctly, monitoring employees to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing and communication.

Review for American House Sarasota

The stairways aren't very attractive, the elevators could get cleaned more frequently. Most of the meals are very good. There are not a lot of activities in house. They have outings two days per week, plus church on Sundays. At American House, they put out a schedule once per month and put it on the door. There is a lot of space in the apartments. The cost for each level of care is a bit high.

My Tour Experience at American House Sarasota

American House was where they had the population's mixed and it was very depressing. People who were obviously not in their right minds were wandering around the common areas with staff following them.

American House Sarasota is a nice environment with friendly people. They are struggling with organization to some extent and I think that comes from missing support staff.

Happy with our choice

Overall we have been pleased with the experience - it has been better than we had expected. It was kind of stressful in the beginning just having the apartment ready by the time they were moving in. They have been very happy with the food - they rave about it and they are chef prepared meals. I would recommend American House Sarasota to others.

Quite happy with what American House has to offer.

They have a very friendly staff and lots of medical services. The rooms are really nice. I was pleasantly surprised that the food is pretty good. Everything is prepared fresh. Occasionally there's something my parents don't like, but here are lots of choices at every meal. My parents haven't really found activities they're interested in yet, except for Wednesday and Friday happy hours with live music that are phenomenal.

Very happy with our choice

What really sold us on American House Sarasota was the spacious room sizes that they offered. The food is delicious, they are chef prepared meals and residents get a variety to choose from off of an extensive menu. It has a great atmosphere, we were worried about moving them in and it has ended up being a great fit for the both of them and they really enjoy it here. Our family would definitely recommend them to others.

I think we made a good selection for my loved one.

My loved one is enjoying it. He's not particularly active, but he goes to the meals and seems to like the food. He's doing well there, and physically he's doing better. They're in the process of renovations now, but it seems clean enough. I would like to see their furniture be more senior-friendly. Some of the pieces of furniture are harder for older people to get in an out of.

we felt it was a friendly and safe community

The staff and residents seemed very happy and calm every time we come to visit. Our loved one has a lovely apartment and lovely food. There are always plenty of activities going on from singing, to dancing and different parties. Our loved one really enjoys the meals themselves but she does not enjoy the fact that dinner stops at 6:00PM.

Tour of American House

I was very impressed with our tour of American House, in fact this facility would have been my first choice. It is set up very similarly to the place that we chose in terms of the dining area, activities provided, amount of residents etc. It is larger and I thought that would have been great for my cousin because I figured it would give him more of an opportunity to find people he had things in common with. I got a great vibe from them and really enjoyed the tour.
