What this means for your family
While many families report a vibrant, social environment, there is a clear pattern of inconsistent care, particularly on weekends. We strongly recommend visiting on a Saturday or Sunday to observe staffing levels firsthand and asking management specifically how they handle weekend care plans and communication during off-hours.

“The first year was wonderful and they took good care of her. The second year everything went downhill. Everything from her personal care and hygiene to housekeeping became a daily issue.”
“Weekends are the worst, short staffed or agency people and lack of care. They did have some Excellent staff members Like Joyce, Kim, Diamond, Angel, and Nurse Brittany, and Director Maggie, but the past Director Tina was terrible.”
“The staff at Autumn Ridge is very accommodating, and gets to personally know each resident. The dining facility is wonderful and the dining staff even know what her favorite salad dressing is, as well as her other food preferences.”
