Overview of American House Sterling Heights

American House Sterling Heights provides independent living, hospice care, memory care, and respite care in Sterling Heights, MI. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care centers on comfort and support, and respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The combination may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow from independent living to memory care, or for a family needing a temporary respite stay. Housing options include one-bed and two-bed residences, with the two-bed layout able to suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so a resident moving with a pet can keep that companion in the community.

A Walk Score of 63 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot; a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle some nearby errands independently. American House Sterling Heights is family-operated.
