Key Review Excerpts

It is absolutely disgusting! Smells like urine and feces because they do not chance the patients. They make them lay in it. It’s heart breaking for the ones with Dementia because they can’t speak up for themselves.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

My father was at Autumn Breeze in January after suffering from a stroke. I am writing this review to commend the entire Autumn Breeze staff especially the Rehab team for working with my father and getting him strong enough to come home with minimal care needed.

Rehab patient's family · 2023★★★★★

The room my father was in had dried blood on the curtains. My father was at this facility for 2 nights and on the 1st night he fell out of the bed, his pants were stolen and his wound care boot he came from the hospital with was stolen.

3-year lookback · Medicare 2026

2deficiencies
Well below state avg (6.1)

Autumn Breeze shows a concerning pattern of recurring fire safety and electrical system deficiencies across all three surveys, with problems involving smoke barriers, corridor doors, and electrical equipment appearing multiple times from 2021 through 2025. The facility has also had issues with medication management, care planning, and one serious incident involving resident protection from abuse. While most deficiencies show correction dates, the persistence of safety issues warrants careful consideration during any visit.
