Autumn Lake Healthcare at Berkeley Heights is a skilled nursing facility that provides 24-hour medical oversight for both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term residents. Licensed nurses manage medications, wound care, IV therapies, tracheostomy care, and other complex clinical needs. Attending physicians round regularly, and a medical director coordinates care plans that can include pain management, cardiac monitoring, and post-surgical recovery protocols.

Additional clinical services include on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy delivered in a dedicated rehab gym, along with respiratory therapy and specialized programs for orthopedic, cardiac, and stroke rehabilitation. Laboratory work, imaging, and pharmacy services are arranged on site or through mobile providers to limit disruptive transfers. Social workers handle discharge planning and coordinate follow-up appointments, while a dietitian and consulting specialists contribute to individualized care plans.

Resident accommodations consist of a mix of private and shared rooms equipped with adjustable hospital beds, accessible bathrooms, individual climate controls, and basic furnishings. Cable television, Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and personal laundry service are available, and common lounges and secure outdoor spaces give residents additional places to spend time with visitors. Not all accommodations include every listed feature.

Meals are prepared in an on-site kitchen under the guidance of a registered dietitian who tailors menus to residents’ medical and cultural requirements, including low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanically altered diets. Residents typically dine in a communal dining room, but tray service is provided when a care plan calls for in-room meals, and staff members are available to assist with feeding or adaptive utensils when necessary. Snacks are offered between meals, and menu selections rotate regularly to encourage adequate nutrition and variety for residents.
