The American House Wildwood is a very nice facility. They gave us a very good tour of the facility and probably have everything we need from them. The staff was excellent, they were engaging, friendly, we ate lunch and the people in the dining room were very nice and very helpful. I would give an A+ to the staff. We went everywhere, we saw 2-3 different apartment sizes, we went to their gym, to their movie theater, we went to every room that was in the place.

I went to the American House Wildwood yesterday. It had a nice, big entryway, and then when you go to the dining room, you actually go out by where the pool is, and the pool is very inviting. I experienced the dining room, which to me was a fantastic, resort-style dining room. There was a girl in the dining room who brought me back to the entryway after I ate; she was very nice. I talked to a couple of residents there. In fact, when I was eating, a few of them smiled and waved at me, so they were very friendly residents. I talked to one lady who had been there four years, and she said that it's her home, and she just loves it there. They definitely liked the place. I really liked that place. They have a menu that you can choose from. They have things that are on the menu every day, then they have special, different meals each day, and they have open dining, so you can go anytime to eat. You don't have to be at breakfast at the break of dawn. It's almost like you're on vacation.

Florida’s Medicaid program is the Statewide Managed Medicaid Care Long-Term Care Program (SMMC LTC). By housing seniors in the least intensive care setting that can safely meet their needs, the program seeks to encourage senior independence. Those eligible can get funding to meet the costs of assisted living, and they may also be able to obtain extra services, including occupational therapy or skilled nursing services.",
