American House Elmwood Reviews

Tennille B.
My mom has lived there for one year. The place is always very clean, quiet & homey. The food is very good, but you need to know that lunch is the main meal and dinner is lighter. They pick up your trash & make your bed daily. The apartment is cleaned & clothes washed & folded once a week. All included in the base price. Pricing is much better than most places. It’s only got 66 apartments so it’s a smaller community. Only down side is that sometimes the medication and food to room is late. But when it comes my time to be in an assisted living home I will move there.
