Golden Autumn Adult Care Home
Golden Autumn Adult Care Home provides assisted living and respite care in Surprise, AZ. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while a resident lives in the home. Respite care provides a short-term stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time to travel, recover or manage other responsibilities.
With 10 beds, the home is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know one another. Private and shared rooms are available, so residents may have an individual room or share with a companion. The home may be a good fit for a veteran who needs assisted living or a short-term respite stay because it specializes in care for veterans. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are available for residents who need temporary, recovery-focused care. Transportation is also available. Dominika Zajac serves as the administrator, and Golden Autumn Adult Care Home opened in 1998.
