Great Big Hearts!
My mother, [name removed], fell in love with the staff very quickly.
The nurses, aides and administrators were quick to help her feel welcomed, valued and respected.
Mom loved the food, her aides that assisted with showers and the meal assistance she received when she didn’t feel well enough to go to the dining room.
Staff was not adequate on the weekends, in Mom’s opinion.
I usually visited on Sundays so the weekends weren’t so long.
My visits throughout the week were wonderful!
I was always greeted very kindly and the aides always filled me in with any concerns as well as her success!
I hope I get to stay at American House when I can no longer stay alone.
Thank you so much for all the love through my mother’s final days.

All the staff is very helpful and supportive.
My mom seems more happier at American House she is eating better and doing a lot better. The facility is clean and they have enough staff to support the residence. The staff gladly assist the residence with daily needs and they have a lot of patience with all the people that lives at American House.

Good if you can care for yourself
They were good when mom was still able to take care of herself. She misses her friends there. I wish she was still there and taking care of herself.
Staff was short handed for the amount of residents. Faculty was not around on weekends. Need more people on weekends. Plus more entertainment.

would not recommend
My dad had to help a nurse get a patient off the floor when they fell because there were no other staff members to help her. I would not recommend them to anyone. We moved my grandfather out of American house due to staffing and care issues and he has since passed away. We had difficulty with meds going missing and were also very displease with how other residents were treated. There were also issues with roaches

Review for American House Shallowford
They were the only one that would accept my stepdad. Due to his dementia he had become quite mean and spent almost two weeks at a hospital that could deal with that. No one else would accept him, so we ended op here.

Friendly Staff and a Nice Community
We moved our loved ones furniture in, but our loved one had passed away before he could move in. However from what we experience at American House Shallowford, everything was great. I had one friend already there, so I mostly had some good visits with her. Interaction with the staff was very good.

Our experience at American House
There's a severe nursing shortage here especially. Certain nurses don't believe there's any hurry to aid a resident!!! I was told that I was going to pay around $[removed]/month..... my first bill was for $[name removed]!!! I Can't afford that.

Has potential, but needs better oversight
American House is severely short-staffed for their clients. The lack of staff has effected several of the caregivers. They usually only had one caregiver in the memory care unit at a time. Although they said there would be two during the day and one at night. Many of the caregivers had never been around memory care residents and didn't know their names or how to care for them. A caregiver approached me one day asking if there was meat in the soup, she said that a resident couldn't have meat but didn't recall who it was. Their record keeping was very laxed and my step-father was taken to the E.R. because he had 4 liters of urine in his bladder. He almost passed; the doctor said if they didn't bring him in when they did, then he would've died that night. This was a result of them not knowing that he hadn't urinated in some time. When he was discharged from the hospital, the doctor(s) refused to release him back to American House.
They accepted him after their initial evaluation, although he was beyond the level of care they could safely give. He fell several times a week and had about 4 to 5 E.R. visits in total. The staff were trying, they just didn't have enough people so they were shuffling employees around. They were also using outside sources, but they weren't familiar with the residents either. There were only 8 residents in memory care; I thought that they would've had a better oversight. A note book or a chart with the residents names, allergies, etc. would've been helpful. Overall, they didn't have enough people and management staff often didn't know what was going on with my step-dad. Everyone we came across were super nice, they were just lacking in staff and everyone was running ragged.

Our Experience
It has worked out well. Our loved one is happy here. It's clean. The staff is personable and kind. It's a small enough community that you feel like they really know the patients and the families. I appreciate the more personal touch. And this is the only place that our loved one has not complained about, which says a lot.

Tour of Elmcroft
We had a very nice tour with Elmcroft of Shallowford, all of the staff were were so sweet. The facility is actually under the same guidance as the one that we chose, it was a toss up. The facility is all one story which I really liked. It just came down to the fact that the other location was a little bit closer and they were communicating with us more.

I think this residence fits the bill. Excellent (unscheduled) tour of the property with Tempa Finch. The one bedroom units look just like an apartment and I think my mom would like that very much. The bedroom is separate from the living area which is nice. The facility is adjacent to St. Stephens' Catholic Church, which, when my mom is fully recovered I know she would love to attend. The residents all seemed happy and friendly. One resident I spoke with gave the facility a glowing report, and she had lived there for three years and had made great strides in her health due to the physical therapy and occupational therapy offered at Elmcroft.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living.
