American House Cedarlake

I don't even know where to begin to describe the kindness, compassion and professionalism of the staff at American House Cedarlake. Everyone, from the administration, to the nursing staff, to the maintenance and housekeeping went above and beyond to make my dad's stay there comfortable and to feel like home. My dad was in both the independent and assisted living areas and we had such positive experiences in both. There are so many activities and common areas for people to enjoy. The entire facility is immaculate and well maintained. I hesitate to mention names but Nicole and Beth in administration made it so easy for us to bring my dad in from Florida. He also received excellent nursing care and was so fond of Dan and Jamie. Making the decision to move a parent from their home to independent/assisted living is a difficult one. Everything in their life changes from the familiar to the unfamiliar. But all you have to do is look at people's faces at American House and everyone is smiling! Thank you to everyone at American House for the outstanding care you gave my dad. You are extraordinary people!

My parents have been hear for 2 years and they just love it! The staff is great and the receptionist Debbie is the sweetest and most helpful person. The director Nicole does an amazing job along with all the staff here. Very clean and well kept they care about the residents here. Highly recommend this place for your loved one

Mom didn’t know what to expect when we moved her to American House Cedarlake. At 98 years old, she had lived in her own home all these years until she had a stroke. It was very upsetting to her! But the day we brought her to American House, she was met at the door by Dan who would be her nurse. He was so welcoming to her! He helped us bring her up to her room and tried to make her feel she was coming to her home. Then we met Lesley who would be her resident assistant. My mother adores her and speaks of Lesley as a friend. Lesley always has a big smile and a friendly manner. Then we met Cindy in dietary. Cindy would sit down with my mother when she was brought to the table and help explain how meals worked and reinforce how to use the call button. Cindy did this often the first few weeks—and again my mother felt she had someone who cared about her. Marjon, the nurse , was helpful in getting the paperwork done. And last, but not least, a huge shoutout about PT and OT! On May1st when Mom started at American House Cedar, she had been in bed 3 months and was very weak. After her stroke, mom was placed in hospice care with no effort being made to strengthen her. 3 months later she is out of her wheelchair, walking the building with her walker and riding the therapy bike! Truly amazing.

AHC is a very nice, clean and caring facility. Marjone makes the place run. Their best RCN’s are Maria and Lenore. The Nurses Dan and Irma are great too. Unfortunately the others seem to turn over more often. But my mother is very happy to be here. They take very good care of all. There has to be a special place in heaven for those who care for our older generations.
