Overview of Autumn Lane Health and Rehabilitation

Autumn Lane Health and Rehabilitation is an 85-bed skilled nursing community situated in Gray, Georgia. Operating within Jones County, the property accepts Medicaid and maintains a high local demand, reflected by a 96% occupancy level. The facility coordinates extended nursing home care, short-term rehabilitation, specialized memory care services, and temporary respite stays.

State administrative profiles managed by the Georgia Department of Community Health reveal a multi-year tracking history containing mixed compliance findings. Over an eight-year window, the facility recorded an average of 5.8 deficiencies annually, which trails the statewide average of 4.9. A regular field evaluation on May 16, 2025, documented multiple clinical infractions regarding inadequate physical assistance with daily bathing and oral hygiene, medication administration errors, and poor infection control execution during resident wound care.

Past complaint archives also record a single substantiated 2019 entry involving a resident fall linked to insufficient staff numbers. However, a subsequent follow-up survey on July 2, 2025, verified that the management team completed all required corrective actions, resulting in a contemporary citations-per-inspection rate of zero for the completed remediation cycle.

The physical plant provides standard multi-resident accommodations alongside comprehensive support services, including daily housekeeping, laundry cycles, and structured on-site recreational programs. Licensed nurses and therapists manage core clinical protocols, supervise prescription delivery, and administer physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Public regulatory indexes show no active monetary penalties, civil fines, or operating license suspensions on file against the operator.

Interested individuals researching local skilled nursing layouts should examine this facility’s multi-year history of routine care lapses alongside its swift trajectory of state-verified corrections. The high-occupancy community is set up for seniors whose sponsors prioritize a high-demand county property backed by standard Medicaid funding channels. Families are encouraged to tour the Gray facility, directly observe staff interaction levels during morning hygiene routines, and discuss active wound care protocols with the director of nursing before finalizing placement.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 22m per day ▼ 24% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 41m per day ▼ 27% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 22m per day ▲ 10% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends.

Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 1m per day ▼ 67% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 14m per day ▼ 30% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
