Autumn Care of Biscoe operates as a skilled nursing home, providing 24-hour licensed nursing oversight supported by on-site physicians, nurse practitioners, and rehabilitation professionals. The facility accepts both short-term and long-term residents, offering respite stays for caregivers who need temporary relief and a structured physical therapy program aimed at post-hospital recovery and ongoing mobility improvement. Care plans are individualized, with therapy schedules and nursing interventions adjusted to match each resident’s condition and physician orders.
Beyond the primary nursing and therapy services, the community delivers routine medication management, wound care, and assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. A registered dietitian reviews medical charts to align meal plans with physician-prescribed diets, and social workers coordinate discharge planning or transitions to other levels of care when needed. The clinical team also monitors vital signs, lab work, and specialist referrals, streamlining communication with external medical providers to help reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions.
Resident accommodations range from private to shared rooms, all of which are designed for wheelchair access and feature in-room emergency call systems. Some units include direct access to landscaped outdoor areas, while others do not. Wifi is available throughout most residential wings, although signal strength can vary, and not every room has identical hardware or bandwidth.
Meals are served in a central dining room, with alternative seating for residents who require quieter surroundings or in-room service for those with mobility constraints. The culinary staff prepares three daily meals plus snacks, following physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical soft. Menus rotate on a seasonal schedule, and residents can request substitutions at each meal service.
Daily life is supported by an activity center where scheduled programs like crafts, music, and gentle exercise classes are held. Residents may join organized clubs and social communities that focus on shared interests such as gardening, reading, or current events. A combined library and computer lounge offers large-print books, internet access, and adaptive keyboards, giving residents the option to read, browse online resources, or video chat with family.
