Autumnwood of Deckerville has 84 certified beds and usually cares for about 78 residents each day, so it's a fair size for a nursing home, and folks seem to keep busy with long-term care or short-term rehab after surgery or illness, and you'll find they offer both types under the same roof, which can be handy if someone's needs change over time. The place is managed by Ciena Healthcare and has had the same company in charge since 1999, but new managers like Nick Buttar and Kerry Regentin joined more recently, so there's history behind the way they do things here, plus some fresh eyes. Nurse care is offered all day and night, with nurses on each shift, though the nurse hours per resident per day is about 3.26, which is less than the Michigan state average, but nurse turnover is quite a bit lower than most places in the state, around 25%, so folks might get to know their caregivers for a while.
Autumnwood of Deckerville holds a for-profit license, and the facility keeps a focus on personalized care, with services that stretch across assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, rehab, and general healthcare. There's a privacy policy for medical records, a non-discrimination policy so everyone gets care, and a compliance and ethics program that says they want high standards-though, like lots of facilities, there have been 23 deficiencies over time on inspection reports, with one about infection and three highlighted at the last check-up, which covered things like resident rights and quality of care, but none of these led to actual harm being reported. In terms of daily life, folks get 24-hour supervision, can ask for extra services when needed, have on-site meal programs (with one or two meals a day), housekeeping, laundry services, and modern-living amenities that try hard to make everything comfortable. Memory care, medication management, and help with everyday tasks, like bathing and dressing, are all available, and you'll likely see staff described as professional and compassionate, since that's the way management puts it. The place offers both independent living for active seniors and supports those who need more help, with the same sort of clean, home-like feel throughout. Healthy meals, friendly caregivers, and modern rooms aim for comfort and safety. Autumnwood of Deckerville runs with a focus on making folks feel at home, but with the kind of professional care that meets healthcare needs, so it might suit people looking for a mix of independence and medical support.
