Autumn Years Assisted Living Facility

I have known the owner, [name removed], for 11 years and have visited her two main homes many times. I stayed briefly in her third home and found that the service by the caring staff was excellent. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, the food is wonderful, and the staff is loving and caring. there's no better place for your loved one than at Autumn Years.

We toured Autumn Years Assisted Living Facility. It was a nice and clean community. The staff was friendly enough. It just didn't have the right atmosphere we were looking for. Plus this community was not close enough to conveniently go and visit our mom.

A very nice and homey feel to this facility. When I took the tour the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It was not the right fit for my parents, it seemed the residents were too far advanced for what my parents required. They did not have enough activities for my active parents. Did not provide 24 hours per day nursing care which my father required. Would have to hired physical therapy; not provided by this facility.

I visited this provider yesterday. The facility is immaculate, the resident appeared well cared for and healthy. The meal they were serving had whole foods and was served at the kitchen table. It seemed like a family meal. The staff was attentive to the residents. The facility is in a lovely neighborhood and that provides a homey feel. The home had no odors other than a clean home feel. Also the home has lots of light and clear space for them to move around in. I am very interested in this home and am scheduling a repeat visit to discuss activities, continuous care and additional services provided by outside providers, such as doctors and and activities.

The food needs to improve at Autumn Years ALF. I do think my mother is getting good care there. 8 out of the 10 residents are not capable of walking or talking, so I do think it is hard on my mom. It is a bad situation for my mother but I think it would be the same anywhere else. The residents are very well taken care of. I think they adjust prices based on what people want. Someone wanted a private room and I think it went to the highest bidder. I am not certain but it seemed that way. I just think it's a sad situation at this facility. They have brought in another worker now. They now have three working. They do everything, the cooking, cleaning, and care. I do give the staff a lot of credit for what they do.
