    Review

    Autumn Wind Assisted Living is a highly recommended facility according to several family members of residents. With a clean environment and helpful personnel, this facility has exceeded their expectations in providing care for their loved ones. The staff are described as patient and attentive, particularly when it comes to individuals with dementia who require additional assistance. Families appreciate the level of security and dignity that their loved ones receive at Autumn Wind.

    However, there have been some concerns raised by one reviewer regarding the effects of COVID-19 on the facility. Due to quarantine measures, residents living in cottages felt isolated and lacked opportunities for social interaction. Additionally, transportation services that were promised upon admission were no longer provided after a change in ownership. This led to difficulties in accessing essentials like groceries. Despite these challenges, the reviewer emphasizes that the living quarters are spacious and beautiful.

    Another individual echoes similar sentiments about the isolation caused by quarantine measures during COVID-19. They share their discontent with the quality of food provided at Autumn Wind, stating that it did not meet dietary requirements and was generally unappetizing. However, they highlight the kindness of the staff and acknowledge that living quarters are comfortable and well-equipped.

    Tragically, one reviewer had an extremely negative experience at Autumn Wind during their mother's end-of-life period. The family encountered obstacles when attempting to be with their loved one during her final moments; hospice nurses were initially denied access to the building despite clear signs indicating her impending passing. The lack of empathy and compassion shown by management towards grieving family members is disheartening.

    On a more positive note, another family member shares a different perspective, stating that their father thoroughly enjoyed his time at Autumn Wind and felt spoiled by the caring staff. They highly recommend this facility due to its excellent care and great food.

    Overall, Autumn Wind appears to be a well-maintained community with spacious rooms and decent dining areas. The majority of families appreciate the care provided and feel that their loved ones are in a safe and secure environment. However, there have been some concerns raised regarding the facility's response to COVID-19, the quality of food, and the lack of compassion displayed towards grieving families.
