Autumn Care of Suffolk provides licensed nursing-home care for individuals who need continuous medical supervision. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, IV therapy, wound care, pain control, and routine monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and COPD. The center also maintains an in-house rehabilitation team that delivers physical, occupational, and speech therapy up to seven days a week, supporting recovery after surgery, illness, or injury. Short-term respite stays and hospice support can be arranged when space is available, and every resident receives an individualized care plan reviewed by an attending physician.
Beyond direct nursing and therapy services, the facility follows a structured approach to care coordination. Regular interdisciplinary meetings track each resident’s progress, update treatment goals, and adjust therapy intensity as needed. An on-site medical director, consulting specialists, and a contracted pharmacy help streamline access to lab work, X-rays, and medication management. Infection control protocols, fall prevention programs, and an emergency call system in resident rooms support safety. Social workers assist with discharge planning, benefit coordination, and family counseling, while scheduled transportation is offered for off-site medical appointments.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each with basic furnishings, individual climate controls, and an emergency call device; some rooms feature in-room showers, while others use shared bathing suites. Weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, cable television, and Wi-Fi are available, and residents can personalize their living space with familiar items from home. Common areas such as television lounges, activity rooms, and a secured courtyard provide additional places to visit with family or take part in programmed recreation. Not all accommodations have all the features described, so it is best to confirm specific room details during a tour.
The dietary department prepares three daily meals and routine snacks, following menus developed by a registered dietitian to meet clinical guidelines and individual preferences. Specialized diets, texture-modified meals, and physician-ordered supplements are provided, and staff track intake to support weight management and overall health. Meals are typically served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, but tray service to a resident’s room is available when medical status limits mobility. Families are welcome to discuss cultural or religious dietary needs with the nutrition staff, and seasonal menu adjustments aim to keep choices varied and nutritious.
