We visited the American House Carpenter. It was ok, I didn't have any problems with it. The people were very nice and friendly. It was clean. I like the fact that they have meals for them. The meals were free. They have bingo, they have a movie room, a library. The most important thing is they have a lot of veterans there. It's a nice place for veterans, and my father is a veteran. The dining area was very nice, but the apartments were small.

My mom is staying at the American House Carpenter, and she's happy there. Her overall experience is very good and the people are so great. They've been taking such good care of her and are so nice. We've actually had lunch with her a couple of times, and the food was good. She likes it. The place is clean and nice. They greet us whenever we come in, and they recognize us even with our masks on. Everybody seems legitimately very nice and friendly.
They offer exercises, arts and crafts, card games, a listing for movies that they were taking people out to, a Friday cocktail hour, church services, and a lot of different things. They post them on the activity board every day. Her room is nice-sized for one person. It's got a nice bedroom, lots of closet space, a nice little kitchen, a good sized living room, and a dining connected area. Plus, she's also got a nice balcony that overlooks the little courtyard. A maid service comes in and cleans her room as well.
Right now, they're remodeling some areas. So, they're pulling out the carpet and stuff in the hallways, but the areas we see are very clean now. I've actually seen other places that were fancier than them, but my mom doesn't really need those fancy things, and so I think she gets good value for her money.

The level of social activity at American House Carpenter was fantastic. There were people all over the lobby doing things together and in the activities spaces. Lots of social activities were going on and everybody seemed to know each other, and it was really nice to see them. It seemed all very spontaneous. So, it was probably the best of any that we visited.
The staff was fantastic too. They knew all the residents and all the residents knew them. They walked around, chatted, and introduced us to everybody we met, and they seemed very much like a big family. The chef explained the menu and it sounded great. We looked at them and also saw the food being prepared, which smelled really good.
The common areas were very nice. They were doing some renovation in the hallways to the first floor of the units. So, a lot of it was torn up, but the lady showed us some units and they were very nice. They were laid out more like a conventional apartment with two bedrooms, a living area, and a corner kitchen. I think the size and the kind of layout they had were of my brother and sister-in-law's liking, rather than a one big common room.

My dad is in assisted living at American House Carpenter. The staff is nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. He said the food is decent. There is no pool, but they have a salon. I talked to him, and from what I've heard, he likes the staff. There are no activities since COVID, like everything else. The facility is clean, decent, and better than some I looked at when I was helping him find a place. His room is all good, very clean, and up to date. I'm satisfied with the care.

My sister is in American House. We chose it because my mother lived there for 10 years, and my brother's father-in-law lived there for 12 years. It's not a new place, but it's clean, and they redo the carpet and paint every time somebody moves. It smells fine, not like old people. They serve three meals a day, make the bed, pick up the trash every day, and strip the bed and change the towels once a week. You can have your laundry done at an extra charge. They have all kinds of activities. The food looks pretty good, and when she remembers to go down for a meal, she eats a lot better than when she was alone. The staff is very nice, very friendly, and very helpful. It's not the most expensive place, but for the money, the care is very good.

I visited American House. The people were wonderful. The dining room was set-up for 3 meals. It was less expensive -- which was great -- but the part that I didn’t like was where it was located. Even though it was very close to my home, it was across the street from a trailer park. My mother would not want to live in place across a trailer park, even though it was a very nice trailer park. It had nothing to do with the living place; I just knew my mother. The rooms were very nice. They had one bedrooms, and she would have loved the one bedroom. We sat down and had a chat with the woman. She showed us the facility and offered if we wanted to eat anything. She took us around the rooms that were available. It also seemed like it was more for couples. They served 3 meals a day. They had activities that were really cool. They had activities. They had places to get your hair and nails done. They did exercises.

American House Carpenter was good but a little bit older. The facility itself wasn't new and crisp looking. We only interfaced with some of the staff there, and they were fine. We didn't talk directly with any of the residents.As we were walking around, things didn't impress me. I saw residents going up and asking for things, and it looked like the staff was a little bit exasperated. They had to ask for things many times and still not get taken care of. The dining room seemed fine. It was just a quick walk-through there, but nothing I saw was good or bad.

American House Carpenter was very nice. It was good on all points. They showed me a couple of rooms, and there were different kinds. This facility was very good. It was very nice, and I did consider choosing it.

The reason I looked at the American House is because it’s around the corner from where I live and I thought it would be great because I could see my parents as often as I wanted. However, it was not the caliber that the others I saw were, but what I did like about it was that the residents were happy people. There were a lot of residents that were active and doing things and were excited to be going out. They were going on a little trip, and they all seemed to know each other. There were all sorts of activities going on. I did think that it was not as clean as the other places, but it was OK. And again, the only reason I was looking at American House was for convenience, and it was the first place I looked at.

I think American House Carpenter would be very nice for a senior-living situation. They can provide some assisted living services, and it seemed like a nice setting. The staff were able to address all of my concerns during my visit. They have activities going on. In fact while we were there, they just finished their activity for the Patriot Day. They had entertainment; somebody was singing and playing the guitar.

I liked American House Carpenter a lot. I liked the food and the staff was friendly. I saw their rooms, and they were good, but I could not afford it, which is the only reason I didn’t move in.

My parents will be moving into American House. My visit there was fine. It was pleasant. They took us through, and they answered our questions. They have an apartment that works for my parents because of their dogs. Their apartments were of good size. We had a meal there, and it was fine. They had bingo, a pool table, and a community area. We visited other places before, but we just liked this one the best.

I also liked American House. They were renovating, but I liked their set up there. They had month-to-month rent. The deposit that I would have to put down was refundable if dad ended up not being able to stay there. They were easier to work with. They were very flexible. They were renovating, so I couldn't comment on their dining room and rooms.

I was very impressed with American House Carpenter Senior Living. It was homey, and the lady was very welcoming. We enjoyed our conversation with her. Everybody we met was personable and friendly. I can't say enough good things about it. It was my preference of the two places we have visited. Their dining room looked a lot like my dining room. I mean, they are very traditional, very attractive. The room that they showed us was done beautifully. I'd assume any place would do that. They got to decorate it rather than the individuals who are living there, and then, because my mother wanted to know what the other options were besides one- and two-bedrooms, they knocked on a door and asked one woman if she would show us her place, and she was very willing to do that. Very pleasant. I was altogether very impressed with them.

Overall, American House Carpenter is just a really nice place. It would be good for a senior citizen. The rooms were very nice and the staff has good attitude.

We chose American House Carpenter basically for its compatibility of the rest of the residents, the activity schedule, proximity to my house, and the warm and caring sense that I got from the management. Their dining room is very nice. They have different activities like bridge club, cribbage club, and bingo. They take people out to the plays. They also take them shopping for groceries and/or incidentals.

American House was recommended by the VA Hospital for my brother and his wife who are disabled vets. Although younger than most residents, they have been treated with utmost respect and compassion. From the managers to the cleaning staff, I believe they have gone out of their way to make them feel welcome, always available for questions even if they had already been asked. They have been particularly considerate and patient when dealing with the extended family who must work with the staff at American House in coordinating care for my brother. They are very pleasant, patient, and understanding of our situation and needs. The apartment was beautiful when my brother moved in, freshly painted, clean, new carpeting...looked brand new! When I recently called to ask if dinner could be taken to their apartment, my brother told me the office person had already come to them within minutes of my call to get their menu choices. You can't get better service! The only recommendation I would offer is that the library be equipped with a computer for the savvy residents who do not own their own computer. Maybe this is available and I am not aware, but I will say that this has been a trouble free, seamless transition and I would highly recommend this facility for our loved ones.

They were all nice, My grandfather did not do to much so he was not much of an effort for them either. When entering the property it was quiet and kind of hospital like (more so then expected) which surprised me. I did not get to see the activity rooms The property was nice as we took my grandfather on a few walks as well. The rooms were decent but it is very expensive compared to the room. I did not see any staff when I was there besides what seemed to be an office with people looking at me like I was lost, but no one tried to help me either way. From what I hear my grandfather was taken care of there and was happy there. I would have likes it to be a bit more personal there tho, as in no one seemed to want to meet his family or seemed to care about him and his life before that place.
