Licensed for 96 beds, the facility operates with a for-profit, LLC ownership structure and participates in both Medicare and Medicaid programs. Autumn Winds Living & Rehabilitation is designed for those seeking skilled nursing care and assistance with daily living, but it is not a part of a larger continuing care retirement community. Its skilled care services are available to individuals recovering from hospitalizations for conditions such as stroke, heart attack, infection, or injury, providing them with the opportunity to regain their strength and abilities before returning home.
Residents at Autumn Winds Living & Rehabilitation have access to daily nursing support, with each resident typically receiving around 2 hours and 54 minutes of nurse staffing per day. The facility is rated as average for its short-term rehabilitation services, with approximately 52.4% of residents able to return home following their stay. Measures are in place to manage residents’ health and safety, including maintaining high vaccination rates; nearly all residents recently received the annual influenza vaccination.
Autumn Winds Living & Rehabilitation focuses on supporting residents’ independence as much as possible. A significant majority, about 90.4%, have maintained the ability to manage daily activities such as moving, eating, and personal hygiene without the need for assistance. The facility also tracks health outcomes for its residents, such as fall injuries, infection rates requiring hospitalization, and emergency room visits, to help continually assess and improve its care practices.
In addition to medical and rehabilitative care, Autumn Winds Living & Rehabilitation places an emphasis on maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for residents. Regular state and federal inspections are conducted to monitor health, safety, and quality standards. Recent reports have identified various areas for improvement, such as honoring residents’ rights to dignity, personal possessions, privacy, and the organization of resident or family groups. The facility also continues to evaluate its practices in medication management, food preparation, infection control, and the provision of a homelike atmosphere to meet the needs of its residents.
The care provided extends to specialized needs, such as appropriate pressure ulcer prevention, respiratory care, pharmaceutical oversight, and safeguarding of medical records. Autumn Winds Living & Rehabilitation strives to foster a respectful and supportive community atmosphere, where residents’ medical, social, and personal needs are addressed with compassion. While it is not affiliated with a hospital or a larger retirement community network, the facility remains focused on delivering individualized care to seniors requiring either short or extended stays.
