Autumn Lake Healthcare at Old Bridge delivers nursing-home care with 24-hour skilled nursing coverage, licensed clinical oversight, and a full complement of aides and therapists. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals whose primary caregivers need a temporary break; during these stays, residents receive the same nursing attention, medication monitoring, and rehabilitative support provided to long-term residents.
The clinical team coordinates wound care, IV therapy, restorative nursing, and post-hospital rehabilitation, drawing on physical, occupational, and speech therapists who work on-site. A medical director and consulting specialists visit regularly, and the staff manages lab work, imaging appointments, and pharmacy services. Care plans are reviewed with families to keep treatment goals clear and up to date.
Resident rooms at this assisted-living facility are offered in several layouts. Some units include an in-suite washer and dryer, and a number of rooms are designated pet friendly, subject to the community’s approval process. Outdoor seating areas allow residents to get fresh air without leaving the secured grounds. Not every room contains every feature, so confirming specific accommodations in advance is recommended.
Meals are prepared in a central kitchen and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with trays delivered to rooms when medically necessary. Registered dietitians create menus that meet therapeutic and cultural dietary needs, including low-sodium, diabetic, and pureed options. Snacks and beverages are stocked throughout the day, and staff members provide assistance for residents who require help eating.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts health and wellness programs, organized clubs, bingo games, and arts and crafts sessions. A library and computer lounge supplies reading materials and internet access, while scheduled discussion groups encourage social interaction.
