Autumn Care of Salisbury operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour licensed nursing supervision for residents who need ongoing medical attention. The care team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who monitor vital signs, administer medications, manage chronic conditions, and respond promptly to changes in health status. On-site rehabilitative services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available for residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, with care plans developed in coordination with attending physicians.
Additional care features focus on supporting daily living and maintaining overall well-being. The staff assists with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other activities of daily living while respecting each resident’s capabilities and preferences. Social services staff help coordinate medical appointments and communicate with families, and respite stays are accepted for short-term needs. A secure environment with fall-prevention measures, regular safety checks, and access to emergency response systems contributes to resident safety.
Resident accommodations include a selection of private and shared rooms, each designed to meet basic comfort and accessibility standards. Rooms may feature adjustable beds, individual climate controls, emergency call systems, and access to outdoor areas where residents can get fresh air or visit with family; however, not all rooms include every feature. Housekeeping and maintenance are provided to keep living spaces clean and functional.
Dining services offer three daily meals prepared to meet nutritional guidelines set by a registered dietitian. Menus rotate to provide variety and can be modified to address physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft options. Meals are served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, and snacks are available between meals for residents who need additional calories or prefer smaller portions throughout the day.
Amenities and services include an activity center where residents can participate in structured programs such as exercise classes, games, crafts, and discussion groups designed to promote social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
