Autumn Lake Healthcare at Ballenger Creek
347 Ballenger Center Dr, Frederick, MD, 21703- Assisted living
- Memory care
- Skilled nursing
Decent rehab, understaffed, bland food
I had a mixed experience. The building is clean and comfortable, therapists and many CNAs/nurses were compassionate and got good rehab progress, and activities/staff (Ms. Seymour) helped my mom stay engaged and happy. However chronic understaffing, poor night coverage, long call-bell and med delays, terrible cold/bland food, missing clothes/jewelry and occasional privacy/management problems left me very concerned. If you have active family oversight this place can work for rehab, otherwise I would not recommend.
