Key Review Excerpts
“I can highly recommend Autumn Lake at Cromwell. Pauline, The APRN; Robin, the nurse supervisor; and Selena the social worker were extremely helpful in transitioning an elderly client from rehab to long-term care.”
“If possible, avoid this facility. It is woefully understaffed, mediocre food ,at best, and very depressing and unattractive rooms. There are 2/3 nurses for 30 patients.”
“My family was very happy with the service and care provided to my grandmother at the end of her life. Only regret is that we didn't relocate her to Autumn Lake sooner.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
