Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was in a unit that was under staffed. This was neglectful because she sat in a double lined diaper, soaked and soiled for hours.”
“If you ask someone a question they say ask someone else. DO NOT put a loved one here. You will regret the decision, and the patient will not get decent care.”
“My brother is a resident at Autumn Lake and I live out of state but it's like I am there the staff keeps me informed about my brother 's care and changes to his condition.”
