Unfortunately, a bad experience that will be forever etched in my mind and heart. I felt she was neglected terribly when it came to providing the medication she needed to be comfortable. My mother died in the facility. We buried her June 2nd, 2026. Mind you she is a stoic women and has endured horrible pain in her life, but not like this. She was never given the proper dose of medication to make her pain bearable and for her to be comfortable in her dying days. The staff seemed to be confused about her medication schedule, and dose constantly. My mother suffered needless horrifying pain, because the desk nurses were extremely reluctant to call the doctor's because they were off on Memorial Day holiday, and didn’t want to disturb them. No doctor in the facility from Saturday to Monday. It’s extremely hard to hear your mother screaming out in pain, and yelling help me, help me! The only true relief she received was when Hospice stepped in, and provided her with the medications she needed, and with the appropriate dose, on the last one and half days of her life there. I will forever be haunted by her screams of immense pain and discomfort.

I am deeply disappointed with the level of care provided at this Rehabilitation center. During my visits I witnessed elderly residents sitting in wheelchairs for extended periods without attention, or assistance. Some appeared distressed and were crying, yet staff members did not seem to respond in a timely or compassionate manner. Families trust rehabilitation facilities to provide professional, attentive, and dignified care to their loved ones, especially when they are vulnerable and dependent on others. Based on what I observed and experienced I can not recommend this facility to others seeking care for a love one.

I visit Maryland once a year from Kansas. I come to see my family. Especially my dad. Frederick Davis is a very well decorated man. I am proud that my sister chose to have our father's care here at Autumn Lake Crofton. The staff is always polite when I visit. Keep up the good work.

All of the staff have been wonderful.They are very caring and friendly. They have taken excellent care of my husband during his time here. I do wish that the patients would get more than 30 minutes of PT and 30 minutes of OT. One hour out of 24 hours doesn’t seem like much. But I guess that is all that you can do. When I take him home I will make him walk a little every hour to build up more endurance. But this was a good start and I learned what to do. I ordered wrist and ankle weights so he can continue to get stronger. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

This was the first time in almost 18 years that my husband slept away from home and me. He spent almost a whole month there! Usually, he is apprehensive about the idea of sleeping away from home, but here at Autumn Lake, he was very happy. I enjoyed how friendly but professional the entire staff was. The therapy staff was accommodating but effective. They made sure that he worked hard every session without overloading him. I was able to see the results every week as he was doing noticeably better every week. My husband felt at home and that allowed me to rest easy knowing that he was well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend this facility and their staff. We definitely felt like family here.
