My dad is at American House Bristol. He seems to be adjusting well. They seem to be very sensitive and typically are well informed of anything that he needs. I'm very pleased with where he is right now. My dad is an Alzheimer's patient. It is one of the few facilities in the area that has assisted living, but does have two other levels of memory care that he is probably going to need in the near future. I wanted a place that would be able to help him when those needs arise. His room is cozy. It's not a large room, but it meets his needs. It's a studio, and it's newly remodeled. It's not hardwood, but it's laminate flooring. It's freshly painted. It is small, but he is not really mobile, so it meets all his needs. So far, I have not had any problem with upkeep. They come in once a week and clean. They do a nice job of keeping it clean. When I come over at mealtimes, the food looks really nice. They seem to have well-balanced food. It's more like country cooking. The other night I was there, and they had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a variety of desserts. They also always have soup and salad, if you want that. My dad loves that kind of cooking. For activities, I know they have people come in and entertain them. They do luau and different things like that. Unfortunately, he has not been able to be there during the afternoon as much, which is when they have those kinds of activities scheduled.

My brother moved into American House Bristol. It was in our price range, and it seemed to be a very clean facility, with very good staff, and the residents seemed to be very happy with their surroundings and the way they were treated. The people there at the facility seemed to be very caring and very knowledgeable about their jobs. They seemed to be focused on those that are there, on their care and their needs. He's been very happy with the meals. The food has been prepared in a very timely manner, and he enjoys it. I know they just hired a new director over the facility to administer activities. They do have a courtyard, a ladies' salon, and a barbershop. They do have lots of activities. They seemed to provide all of his needs there.

The staff seem to be really friendly, and they try to answer all the questions that we had. They seemed to be very clean. The folks that were living there were sitting around talking. It seemed like an inviting atmosphere. The rooms were kind of small, which was a big negative for my uncle. He was also looking for a place with a small kitchen, but it is my understanding that small kitchens are not allowed in Tennessee's assisted living facilities. Other than the rooms being small and no little kitchen for him to fix something for himself, everything was great. The dining area was really nice, but we declined to have a meal. They have an activities director that we met. They play bingo, and I'm sure of other games as well. My uncle was concerned about being able to drive himself, which they allow. They have transportation if you need to go somewhere. The layout was fantastic. All the rooms were on one level. The assisted living was separate from memory care, which is a particularly good thing for the memory care part. Overall, it seemed like a really good facility.

I have decided to put my mom in here. It is a very friendly place and is nice. I think my mother would feel right at home there. They had a little jazz band playing there when I visited. It is just a nice and friendly place. It is close to my house, it is in Tennessee, and it just seems like the place to put her. I think it is very nice and clean. It is one floor, so it is easy for her to maneuver around. The people are very friendly. The apartment is very clean. It is a fine place to put her, a place that she would feel at home. They also have a very friendly staff. Everyone I spoke to there was very personable, very friendly, have a good sense of humor, and are very good natured. I only saw them for a short time, but I did not get any hostile vibrations from any of them. What really impressed me with that place is that everybody seemed to know everybody. They all said hello to everybody, they greeted everybody very cordially. It was nice, it was like a big family. I enjoyed the music, the band that was playing there was nice; my mother I am sure would enjoy it.

It was amazing. The staff was absolutely incredible, and they offer hope to people. They allow them to have a more independent life and give assistance when it's needed. If my grandfather was a moderate assist, that would have been perfect. Everything about it was perfect. The residents there have a wonderful quality of life.

It was very pleasant, and it's very convenient to hospitals and doctor's offices. The décor was fine, and the rooms were a little bit small, but then that's all you need. They had quite a few activities listed. The person there said they frequently go on field trips and places for different activities depending on what people like to do. The people were very pleasant, cooperative, and gave lots of information. He also said they serve 3 meals a day, and drinks and snacks are available in between. They provide some transportation for doctor's offices and visits.

The rooms were small and seemed rather dark. The whole building seemed dark. There was a gentleman, and I think he was story-telling and playing music.

It was very clean, and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. I had a lot of questions and they help me through the finances. They also have nice open common areas and some outdoor areas as well. The rooms were of fairly good size.

It is our favorite because of the location since we live five or six miles from it, and it is easily accessible. The rooms were a good size. They had two-bedroom options, and ones with two bathrooms which we would definitely be interested in, so we are on a waiting list for them.

My parents are happy here; their happiness was the only thing we were concerned with when placing them. They like the housing and can cook in their own apartment. My mother does most of the cooking, but they do like to go down and have dinner or breakfast with some of the other people who live there. They could improve on the activities that they offer since there aren't many. The staff is very friendly and very helpful.

It was good and it was very nice. The rooms were based on the size we were looking for. They had a restaurant style dining room. We ate lunch there and the food was good. What stood out was the kindness, the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff.

We chose this community because it is close to where we live and they have a smaller venue. The rooms have bathrooms in it. The staff was nice and the food was good. My uncle seemed to really like their services.
