Autumn Lake Healthcare At New Britain operates as a nursing home, providing round-the-clock skilled nursing care overseen by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. The clinical team is equipped to address complex medical needs, manage chronic conditions, and assist residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Short-stay respite care is available for family caregivers who need temporary relief, giving residents the same level of medical oversight and therapy services that long-term residents receive.
In addition to skilled nursing and respite support, the facility offers on-site rehabilitation services that include physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Medication administration, wound care, and routine health monitoring are managed through established protocols, and physicians visit regularly for examinations and care plan updates. Coordination with outside specialists and hospitals helps ensure continuity of care for residents who require further evaluation or procedures.
Resident rooms vary in layout and features; some have direct access to the building’s outdoor areas, while others do not. Each room is equipped with basic furnishings, emergency call systems, and accessibility features, but not every accommodation offers the same square footage or storage options. Families should review specific room configurations during a tour to confirm that they meet the resident’s preferences and care requirements.
Meals are prepared on-site and served three times a day in a communal dining space designed to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. Dietitians review menus to align with therapeutic diets, texture modifications, and physician-ordered nutritional guidelines. Residents who need assistance with eating receive help from trained staff, and alternative meal times or tray services can be arranged for those who prefer to dine in their rooms.
An activity center provides structured programs such as exercise classes, games, and social events that support cognitive and physical engagement.
