American House Westland Hunter offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with medical care modeled to fit varied health profiles. The community can accommodate residents with moderate dementia, individuals under 60, and those managing special diets, oral diabetes medication, or insulin injections. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and on-site podiatry and pharmacy services simplify routine clinical needs. This setting can adjust support as conditions change, allowing residents to remain on campus even if they come to require full assistance with bathing, dressing, or toileting.
Care delivery is supported by staff who have passed background checks, remain awake through overnight shifts, and respond to pull-cord alerts and door alarms at any hour. An activity director coordinates programs that match each resident’s functional level, and security staff are present around the clock. Transfers are available at every level—from simple standby assistance to two-person or Hoyer lift moves for bed-bound residents—using walkers or wheelchairs as needed. The combination of continuous supervision and adaptable hands-on help gives families a clear outline of what support is available before a move-in decision.
Apartments are arranged so residents can choose the level of comfort that fits their budget and preferences. Some units have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable service; all receive regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry. Residents may personalize walls with their own paint colors or decorations, subject to community guidelines. Dining services provide a set menu at each meal with the option to order alternative dishes, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. Meals can be served in the main dining room, in a private dining space for family gatherings, or in the resident’s apartment when health requires in-room service.
Resident life is rounded out with practical amenities such as wheelchair-accessible grounds, resident parking, an on-site barber and beauty salon, a movie room, internet access, and a library. Communal gardens and regularly scheduled religious services are available on campus, while a shuttle is offered for medical appointments and other planned outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
