Overview of The Autumn Place

The Autumn Place offers assisted living, adult day care, independent living, memory care, residential care, and respite care in Columbus, KS. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication. Independent living supports private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Residential care supports people who live at the community while receiving ongoing assistance. Adult day care provides daytime support without an overnight stay, while respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Several care levels are available within the community, so The Autumn Place may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to move between care levels without leaving the community. The community has 40 beds and opened in 1995.

A Walk Score of 45 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. Carrie Homer serves as administrator, and Autumn Place Of Columbus operates the community.
