American House Charlevoix Senior Living

I visited this facility

We toured the independent living at American House Charlevoix. The manager was very nice. She showed us around, and they had a lot of nice amenities. It's a little bit smaller than what we wanted. We also like a place with lots of people and activities, and I think they provided some, but I'm not sure that they could provide all that we wanted.

A great place to be

I have a family member living here and the care is impeccable. The meals are delicious which is not often the case for a care facility. The staff really makes the residents feel like family and they truly care about everyone living there.

Our families experience

It's all you can ask for in your "Second Home" Fantastic in every aspect!

It starts with the Executive Director, who leads by example here at American House. Where ever she is needed, she jumps in and excels. Whether it's in the kitchen, cooking, helping a new resident adjust, or putting out small "brush fires", she's there. I even caught her pushing a big buffing machine, polishing the new hallways flooring. During the recent ice storm and power shortage her leadership allowed everyone to relax and get through it. She hires good people, prepares them for expectations and then gets out …

Toured facility and viewed 2 units with interest of probably moving to American House Charlevoix. Very impressed with everything. Neat. clean, happy residents and employees. Lunch was very good and well served. Did not participate in any activities since just visiting.
