My mom is a resident of American House Milford. The experience has been very good. She has a washer and dryer in her apartment, which makes her very happy. She had a leaky faucet, and they were there the next day. Then the dryer wasn't quite drying, and then she made a point of telling them, and they came, and they fixed that. There haven't been any other repair issues there. The apartment is cleaned once a week by the staff. Four girls come in to clean it. They pick up her garbage twice a week. All of my mom's meals are covered. She is happy there. She is 92, and it has been a good experience. It's quiet. She hasn't gone out really and made friends yet, but the staff is very nice. We've had no issues at all. She got a standard one-bedroom. They have the one- and the two-bedroom and then they have the one-bedroom that's expanded. She is living independently. There are things that I can pay more for if she needs help. I think she can segway into assisted living without having to move from her apartment. There's an exercise room. There's also a theater room where they show things. There are quite a few activities. They have an exercise like chair yoga and what they call walk-about. They have a garage that's underneath the building. If the person drives a car, then the snow doesn't get on it, which I thought was wonderful. They just cleaned the whole parking garage. My mom also has a balcony. Most apartments have a balcony. Hers faces east, which she is really happy about. She can sit out there in the morning, and she can sit out there in the afternoon. She has some shade out there. They have a common dining room where everybody comes. There are two lunchtimes in the morning. The breakfast is continental. In this one common area, they have coffee all the time, and then there are some wrapped fruits like apples and bananas. They have a whole board right by where the dining room is that tells you what the activities are every day, and they have quite a bit going on. When I went in to visit, the guys were playing cornhole right there in the lobby. I thought it was funny. It seems like a friendly community and the people seem to get along. They keep the place and the people are friendly. My mom said the food that she has gotten has been delicious. She likes it. The building is about 20 years old, so it's starting to show a little bit of wear. They are working on getting things cleaned up. They're working on that, and I think they do a nice job. The value for money is probably comparable. It's about $1100 more than what my mom used to pay, but she gets more services than she got from the other place. Mom also planned for her retirement, so she can afford this. She is doing fine with the value for money.
