Autumn Villa sits on a quiet country road at 3579 Diamond Hill Road in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and folks know it as the "Bed and Breakfast" of Assisted Living because it's family-owned, private, and aims for a warm, home-like feeling, with friendly staff who work all day and night to keep residents comfortable and safe, and you see right away that they serve homemade meals in a cozy dining area, have common spaces like a TV room and a library, and yes, there's a gazebo outside where people can sit with friends or family, enjoy the fresh air, watch birds, or just swing quietly in the backyard while little league fields nearby bring the sound of kids playing on breezy afternoons. Residents get their own care plans, made just for them, and can get help with daily jobs like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or moving around, with full-time CNAs and awake staff here around the clock, and doctors, nurses, therapists-occupational, physical, or speech-and specialists make visits as needed, with lab work and mental health services available, plus hospice support when required and both memory care and diabetic care, too, so people needing extra help like insulin shots or blood sugar checks are cared for.
The staff is trained and knows how to help with incontinence (if the resident can manage it) and offer what's called standby transfer help for those who can't walk by themselves, with a focus on letting folks stay as independent as possible, and there are always people to help with laundry, cleaning, and getting to doctor appointments, since complimentary transportation and weekly rides for shopping or fun trips go on regularly. People can join activities every day that help keep them moving or socializing, and there's a program with social events, learning sessions, and entertainment designed to help everyone stay busy, connected, and engaged, since making friends and feeling included matter a lot here. Those who want to worship can use offsite devotional services, and religious visits are available, and there's always a respectful, personalized approach for anyone's needs.
Visitors can come indoors or outdoors, weather permitting, and precautions like temperature checks, sign-in sheets, and even on-site rapid COVID-19 testing help keep everyone safe, with all results reported to the Rhode Island Department of Health, and the staff stays up to date on health protocols. Autumn Villa stands out for its steady care, peaceful setting, small details like homemade snacks, a backyard swing, and a canopy gazebo, and a big effort to make sure that every person has companionship, help when needed, and privacy when they want it, so each day feels lived with dignity and comfort. Scheduled tours show folks around, and the community welcomes people needing anything from light assistance to full care-including non-ambulatory needs, meal plans for all tastes, and personalized services-making Autumn Villa a simple, quiet, but caring place for seniors who want support and a touch of home in their day-to-day lives.
