Autumn Lake Healthcare at Chesapeake Woods

My experience with Autumn Lake was not a good one. My husband who has Alzheimer's was accepted for respite care for 5 days. My family was originally very excited to be able to leave our loved one in a "safe" place where he would be well cared for while his care givers take a much needed break. From the moment we walked in the door I was apprehensive about leaving him. The nurses at the respite department were completely unprepared and even said they had no record of him scheduled to be there. Everything was handled by the hospice company that helps care for him so I knew that all paperwork was sent well ahead of time. My son checked on him the first night only to find him very anxious and unsure of everything because no one paid any particular attention to his needs all day. I had to exp

We all know how we feel about Nursing Homes/Rehab facilities but Autumn Lake @ Chesapeake Woods possesses something above the rest. From the time you walk in, it smells very clean. Trust me, for my mom I was using a fine tooth comb but not one speck of dirt was to be seen. And the best thing is the staff! Everyone, everyday for her entire stay was eager to please. You asked for something and you were not waiting 30 mins to an hour for it. They were back in mere minutes and pleasant as could be! I really can't say enough about the nurses and med assistants there. Mom wanted to be sure to give HUGE praise to the Chef there. The food looked appealing and tasted delicious!! If you went hungry there, it's your own fault. The physical therapy staff was kind, patient, and understanding of some of

Dear Team at Chesapeake Woods, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for the remarkable care and support you provided to my mother during her stay with you. When she arrived, she was barely able to walk and showed little motivation. Thanks to your incredible efforts, we were able to move her back into her Assisted Living yesterday, as she regained both her physical abilities and her motivation. Your staff's dedication, thoroughness, and genuine care have truly made all the difference in her recovery. From the moment of intake to her discharge, every aspect was handled beautifully and professionally. Having experienced other nursing and rehab facilities, I can confidently say that Chesapeake Woods has provided us with the best expe

My dad was placed at Autumn Lake Healthcare after being critically neglected at The Pines causing me to almost lose him. Since his admission to Autumn Lake I have been nothing but impressed!!! Rooms, hallways, and bathrooms are clean. Everyone I have spoken to have been understanding, polite, and more than willing to help with any needs or concerns. My dad looks better than he has in 2 months. He’s getting bathed daily with clothing changes and always smells amazing!!! PT and OT are working with him daily to regain strength and swallowing abilities. I have been invited to the care meetings to be involved in treatment planning. And I have been kept in the loop of all care! Even when concerns happen in the middle of the night I am called. It makes me feel comfortable and at peace whe

I couldn’t be happier with everything they did for my husband. The staff were nothing short of being patient with him. He was a handful the whole time he was there. Since he’s been home these last 2 weeks I can see how well they did with him considering how he was when he entered the facility. They worked with him everyday plus his room was always clean and he made sure they did with keeping himself, bathroom and bedroom clean. His social worker Robin Meekins and the staff were always pleasant and so helpful. I was so pleased with the whole place and I highly recommend it to everyone😊
