Autumn Lake Healthcare at Cromwell is licensed as a skilled nursing facility, so its primary focus is on comprehensive medical care. Residents have access to 24-hour registered nursing oversight, physician-directed treatment plans, and on-site rehabilitation services that include physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Complex clinical needs such as post-operative recovery, IV therapy, wound management, pain control, and cardiac or pulmonary care are addressed through coordinated care teams that work with each resident’s doctors. In-house pharmacy coordination and routine monitoring of vital signs aim to keep health conditions stable and respond quickly to changes.
Beyond the core medical services, the facility also delivers daily assistance with activities of living such as bathing, dressing, and toileting for residents who need that support. Staff members provide medication administration, scheduled transportation to outside medical appointments, and case-management support for insurance or discharge planning. Short-term respite stays and hospice coordination are available when appropriate, and social workers help residents and families navigate care goals and transitions.
Residents may choose from private or semi-private rooms, each furnished with basic necessities and an emergency call system. Some accommodations provide direct access to outdoor areas for fresh air and relaxation, while others are located closer to common spaces; not every room includes every feature. Housekeeping, linen service, and routine maintenance are handled by staff to keep living areas clean and functional.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in the communal dining room, with menu cycles planned by a registered dietitian to meet clinical and cultural preferences. Modified diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures can be provided as ordered by a physician. When illness or therapy schedules make it necessary, tray service is available in residents’ rooms, and hydration and snack carts circulate between meals.
An activity center offers space for structured programs such as exercise classes, arts sessions, discussion groups, and visiting entertainment. The staff schedule daily and weekly events designed to promote socialization, cognitive engagement, and physical wellness. Support services include 24-hour maintenance, routine housekeeping, personal laundry, and scheduled local transportation for errands or planned outings.
