Located on Barker Street in Montgomery County’s urban area, Autumn Lake Healthcare at Oakview is a skilled nursing home dedicated to short-term rehabilitation and ongoing long-term care in Silver Spring, Maryland. Owned by Oakview Holdco LLC, it takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families multiple ways to fund care. The facility serves around 138 residents with a current 84.2 percent occupancy rate.
The home provides 24/7 nursing care averaging 3 hours 44 minutes of nursing support per resident day, delivered by a team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. That level of diligent staffing ensures consistent support all the time. A nurse practitioner works on-site, and the facility brings in consulting specialists: a psychiatrist, a wound care specialist, and a physiatrist (a physician focused on physical medicine and rehabilitation). This clinical depth makes the community well-positioned for occupants convalescing from serious health events or managing complex care needs. Clinically, the home’s programs underscore recovery and restoration. It offers specialized tracks for stroke recovery, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, joint replacement recovery, and orthopedic care. Physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and respiratory therapy services exist on-site, staffed with licensed therapists and technicians. The facility also delivers palliative care and respite care, broadening its reach to residents and families with different objectives. The typical stay here is about 129 days, reflecting the mix of post-acute rehabilitation residents who remain weeks to a few months and longer-term occupants staying for ongoing nursing care. Private pay residents, about half of new admissions, typically stay around 27 days. Medicare and Medicaid residents represent roughly 29 and 21 percent of admissions apiece, and the home takes three forms of coverage. Daily life is anchored by a dietitian, on-site dental services, mental health services, and a full activities and recreation program. The facility has an active Resident Council and Family Council so that occupants and family members can join discussions about policies, care quality, and community life. The neighborhood around Autumn Lake is somewhat walkable. Some errands and services are then reachable on foot, but most travels need a car. The home sits about 2.3 miles from Silver Spring’s city center in an urban, residential setting convenient to family visitors.
