Autumn Lake Healthcare at Arcola

Autumn Lake Healthcare at Arcola sits at 901 Arcola Ave in Silver Spring, Maryland, and serves adults starting at age 18, so folks who aren't seniors can get care here, too, which you don't see everywhere. The staff here speak English, and they go through cultural competency training, which helps them give care to people from all backgrounds. The building is open all day and all night, every day of the week, and is ADA accessible, so people with mobility issues can get around. This place works as a Skilled Nursing Facility, so nurses and therapists are on staff around the clock, handling everything from daily needs to complex medical problems, and there are in-house, board-certified specialists managing some of the tougher cases. They've got a gym filled with new equipment for physical therapy, and therapy sessions happen seven days a week, always using a recovery plan that fits each person's needs, so if you need to bounce back from an illness or injury, they've got programs for that. There are both indoor and outdoor spots where residents can relax, talk, or join in small activities, and the grounds include an inner garden sanctuary, which gives people a natural place to walk and sit. Autumn Lake Healthcare at Arcola is one of several in a bigger network, including locations in Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, though each facility is independently owned. The facility is known for providing ongoing long-term care as well as short-term rehab, trying to keep the place warm and friendly for everyone living there or working there, though the staff don't always specialize in just one area, and they serve people with a wide range of medical needs.
