Autumn Care (of Karns)

McDonald's

Different size rooms. Not much storage. Tiny refrigerator. Terrible food. No library. Not many activities. Plus is Bible time every morning.

Autumn Care (of Karns) was partially new, and they've added a new wing. It was a good tour. The staff was super friendly and pretty knowledgeable. Unfortunately, they didn't give us all of the information we needed. I had to get information later that I wasn't aware I needed, but they were friendly and professional. The units were clean. Some of them were newer, but some of them were not as well built.

My mom was a resident and our experience was not great at all. I was sold that they did outings but Mom only went on one the entire time she was there. They talked me into using their NP and she put mom on a new med without talking to me about it - an antipsychotic. Noone was even willing to talk to me about it - the Head Nurse called and told me if we even tried to take mom off of it, she had to LEAVE! Sedate them and make them shut up - great job. I paid them to remind her to shower - didn't happen. Such horrible care. Don't do it! It was pretty and the CNAs seemed to do a great job. Food was fabulous. But we weren't there for pretty decor and food if the care is sub par and communication is non-existent.

Our experience visiting Autumn Care (of Karns) was good. The staff was very friendly. The facility was very clean. They have a salon, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.

My mom is at Autumn Care; it is a private assisted living home. Even though my mother is deaf, she does activities like Bingo, balloon volleyball, they have a 30-minute video every morning with exercise for senior citizens, they have Bible devotions every morning and, about once a week, the patients that wish to go out shopping or out to eat, they have those activities also. They have special dinners for the residents and their family and neighbors, so that they can come in and have a meal together, like they've got one planned for September on Grandparents Day, and that is where the grandchildren or children can come and eat with them and socialize. I really got attached to some of the residents at Autumn Care. I think mother is very well-taken care of there, and their meals are wonderful. They do take good care of her. I just feel like it is not quite yet, but she is getting very close to where she needs a little more care than what she has there. But they are very observant about how she is, she is not stable, and she has had a couple of accidents while she is there that have required stitches that I don't blame the assisted living for. It is just the fact that she refuses to leave the walker all the time, and that is when the accidents occur. Her laundry is done, the rooms are kept clean, and the facility is very clean. You never smell an odor when you walk in. It is a very nice facility. I feel like I am very fortunate to have found it. I would recommend this assisted living place to anyone who has someone with the early stages of dementia that can't be by themselves. It is just a great facility, very clean, and very neat. The reason that I wouldn't give them a five is they have a tremendous turnover in their CNA's.

Autumn Care was also not equipped to handle my mother. My mother was not eating, and they felt like she could be forced to eat. Her doctor had already said, "Do what you think you need to do, but I really think that you are going to get what she needs at hospice." They felt like, "Well, we can get her to eat; we can force her to eat." No, I did not want my mother to be forced to do anything. The facility was nice, it was clean, and the director was fabulous. She really took a lot of time with us, and I think she really wanted to work everything out to help us, but she simply did not understand that my mother was more likely not going to eat, and I know that I would definitely not want her in a forced home situation.
