Autumn Care of Marion operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing round-the-clock licensed nursing oversight for residents who need a higher level of medical attention than is available in standard residential settings. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses handle medication administration, post-operative monitoring, wound care, IV therapy, and the management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, COPD, and cardiac disease. A dedicated rehabilitation team delivers physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, helping residents regain or maintain functional abilities after illness or injury.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the facility offers coordinated care features that support long-term wellness. Social services staff members assist with care planning, discharge coordination, and the arrangement of follow-up appointments or home health services. Hospice and respite stays can be arranged when appropriate, ensuring continuity for families who need short-term relief or end-of-life support. The interdisciplinary team meets regularly to review each resident’s progress, adjust care plans, and communicate updates to families and physicians.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, with basic furnishings, emergency call systems, and bathrooms designed for accessibility. Some rooms offer views of the surrounding grounds and access to outdoor areas where residents can sit or walk under staff supervision. Not all accommodations have all these features, so it is best to confirm room specifics during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site with attention to nutritional requirements common in nursing-home populations. Therapeutic diets, low-sodium options, and mechanically altered textures are available as ordered by physicians or dietitians. Residents generally dine in a communal dining room that supports social interaction, but tray service is provided to those who need or prefer to eat in their rooms. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals to meet additional caloric and fluid needs.
An activity center serves as the hub for structured programs such as exercise classes, crafts, games, and group discussions. The activities staff schedules daily events that aim to maintain cognitive stimulation and foster social connections, while accommodating the physical limitations of individual residents.
