This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 17% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 17 findings, above the NJ average of 8.5. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Autumn Lake Healthcare at Salem County receives a high volume of positive reviews praising its rehabilitation services, friendly nursing staff, and clean environment. However, several families have raised serious concerns regarding inadequate staffing levels, particularly on weekends, and issues with laundry management and facility odors. While many report a warm, family-oriented atmosphere, potential residents should be aware of these reported inconsistencies in care and facility maintenance.

Key Review Excerpts
“The only criticism that I can see is at lunch to have enough coverage. Weekends and during the week. Weekend coverage is inconsistent. They need better MUCH better weekend coverage.”
“My only concern was the laundry. Her roommate was wearing her clothes a lot of the time. Even though her clothes were tagged with her name on it.”
“The staff at Autumn Lake Salem were wonderful during my mother’s stay. She was there for rehab after a serious infection. She is 92. I swear by the end of her stay she was looking and acting 10 years younger.”
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.
