Autumn Lake Healthcare at Silver Spring is a nursing home in Silver Spring, MD, offering skilled nursing, palliative care, respite care, and short term rehabilitation. Skilled nursing means licensed nursing care is available on site around the clock, while palliative care centers on comfort and symptom management. The home may be a good fit for a resident who needs short term rehabilitation after a medical event or ongoing skilled nursing care.
Short term rehabilitation includes joint replacement and orthopedic care, stroke recovery, respiratory therapy, IV therapy, wound care, colostomy care, tracheostomy management, and diabetes management. These programs give residents access to care for specific clinical needs during a temporary stay. A secured unit provides supervision in a secured setting for a resident who needs that level of oversight. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The facility has 148 beds. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 15 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare is relevant to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while Medicaid may help cover care for eligible residents whose savings may not cover a long stay.
