American House Southgate provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents a choice between day-to-day support or a more self-directed lifestyle. The community is prepared for residents who use oxygen, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes with either oral medication or insulin injections. Mild dementia needs can also be accommodated. Regular visits from a podiatrist reduce the need for outside appointments and allow ongoing monitoring of foot health—important for all residents and critical for diabetics.
Care staff are on-site around the clock and every apartment is connected to a PERS call system so a staff member can be alerted at any hour. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when needed. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person transfers, making the environment suitable for walkers and wheelchairs alike. These capabilities let residents remain in their apartment even as physical needs change, avoiding disruptive moves.
Apartments include practical features such as a kitchenette and independent temperature controls, though not every unit includes both. Independent Living residents can elect medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry service, allowing them to stay organized without giving up autonomy.
Meals follow a set menu prepared on-site and served three times daily in the communal dining area. Staff can provide adaptive assistance with eating for anyone who needs it, ensuring dietary needs are met even when abilities change.
The property offers resident parking, is fully wheelchair accessible, and permits smoking in designated outdoor areas. A barber and beauty shop, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for outings or medical appointments round out the list of standard amenities.
