American House Southland offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose the level of support they need. The community is prepared to manage a wide range of medical requirements, including care for residents who are up at night, wound care, oxygen therapy, and adherence to special diets. Staff members are trained to support adults under 60 and individuals managing diabetes through oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale dosing. The residence is also equipped to accommodate moderate dementia conditions.

Care is delivered by an on-site team that includes nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and a podiatrist, with medication management and hospice services available when required. An Activity Director coordinates daily programming, and 24-hour security and staff coverage provide continuous oversight. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, and bed-bound residents can be accommodated. Ambulatory and incontinence care are also part of the standard service package.

Apartments vary in size and layout, and basic cable is available in many—but not all—units. Independent Living residents can expect routine housekeeping, while maintenance staff handle repairs for everyone. Prospective residents should confirm which specific features are included with each accommodation during a tour.

Meals are served from a set menu in the communal dining room, and the kitchen staff works with nursing personnel to honor physician-ordered special diets such as low-sodium or diabetic meal plans. Assistance with eating is provided when required, ensuring residents with limited mobility or strength receive adequate nutrition.

Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, and a library. Pets are allowed, although policies can vary by species, size, and apartment location; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
