Autumn Leaves Nursing Home sits at 321 Kilgore Dr in Henderson, Texas, and it's a nursing home and rehabilitation center with 125 licensed beds that're both Medicare and Medicaid certified, so people who need skilled nursing care, rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or help with chronic conditions can find a range of support services here, and the staff includes registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and certified nursing assistants who deliver around-the-clock care, plus you'll find physical, occupational, and speech therapists who help with recovery and mobility. Folks who stay get personalized care plans, and there's support for both long-term residents and those who only need short respite care, and the place manages medication, offers help with daily activities, and even provides transportation for appointments, discharge planning, and diet help, so there doesn't tend to be confusion about next steps.
The facility's managed by Mr. Douglas E. Hudson, COO, and Mr. Jeff Miller, CEO, and it's licensed through both the Texas Department of Aging & Disability and the Smith County Medical Society. Autumn Leaves focuses on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, long-term care, short-term transitional care, chronic care management, and also offers some specialized memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, which isn't something you see everywhere, and when it comes to making it feel homelike, there are independently temperature-controlled rooms, private bathrooms, a therapy gym, a chapel, and a beauty/barber shop, so residents can take care of themselves and maybe enjoy some comfort. The main building's set in the piney woods of East Texas, and with the warm fireplace, cheerful dining room, and waterfall feature, it tries to have a cozy, peaceful feeling, and community activities help residents stay engaged and social.
Residents get access to onsite pharmacy, X-ray, and lab services, plus physician, dental, mental health, and podiatric care, so a lot of needs can be met in-house, and there's plenty of housekeeping and meal preparation, too. Autumn Leaves scores 8.8 on Community Reviews, has a 3-star CMS nursing home rating, and a 9 out of 10 for overall quality, which folks around here seem to notice. The BBB gives it an A+ rating, and though it isn't BBB accredited, it's recognized for high standards and compassionate staff, and it keeps a local BBB file in Central East Texas. There's a full range of room layouts, community wellness programs, organized resident groups, and the staff's trained to deliver exceptional care, and all of this comes together to help folks feel comfortable and cared for, whether they're here for a while or just need support while recovering.
