Overall Review of Autumn Care Of Drexel

common 18 reviews mention this

Caring, attentive staff stands out

Residents and families repeatedly describe staff as caring, friendly, and eager to help.

A large share of reviewers mention warm, responsive interactions with CNAs, nurses, and other staff members. Multiple families say staff were attentive during rehabilitation, with physical therapy and related services working closely with residents. Reviewers also describe specific moments of respect and responsiveness, like being told what is happening and helped through care needs. Some negative reviews criticize staffing and behavior, so the overall picture includes both strong personal care experiences and occasional service breakdowns.

differentiator 8 reviews mention this

Rehab therapy is a frequent focus

For rehab stays, residents and families often credit therapy teams with measurable progress.

Several reviewers describe rehabilitation as a key reason they chose the facility and as a major part of the stay. Positive accounts highlight physical therapy pushing residents toward goals and helping regain walking or strength. A reviewer also notes the therapy and other rehab-related work continued daily. A smaller set of negative reviews say therapy was not delivered consistently, which helps explain why experiences vary.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Cleanliness gets mixed feedback

Cleanliness is uneven, with some reviewers praising it and others describing dirty conditions.

Some reviewers explicitly call the facility very clean and describe it as well maintained. Others report dirty areas, questionable cleanliness, or concerns tied to hygiene and patient care. A few comments connect cleanliness issues to worsening conditions, while still others say upkeep was good. Because both praise and complaints appear, cleanliness seems to vary by stay or unit.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Slow bell response and staffing strain

Several reviews mention delays in responding to call buttons and concerns about staffing.

A few reviewers say assistance was slow, including taking too long to answer a bell when help was needed. Others describe overworked or understaffed care, along with periods when patients were left unattended. There are also comments about delayed meals and difficulty getting staff help for transportation needs. These complaints align with residents describing the importance of timely support, especially during rehabilitation.

common 6 reviews mention this

Dining is praised and criticized

Dining experiences range from home-like meals to reports of cold or unacceptable food.

Many reviewers mention meals as a positive part of the stay, including large daily meals and food that reminded someone of home cooking. The community also offers restaurant-style dining and diet support such as diabetes and special dietary restrictions. On the other hand, some reviews complain about food quality, timing, and temperature, including reports of late meals and cold food. Overall, dining is a noticeable theme with both supporters and critics.

  • A spacious and well-lit dining area featuring modern furniture and a welcoming atmosphere.
