About Autumnwood Care Center

Autumnwood Care Center is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Tiffin, Ohio, with a licensed capacity of 93 residents. The community serves residents requiring medical oversight alongside those in rehabilitation and hospice care.

Families consistently highlight attentive nursing staff who build genuine relationships with residents. One family noted that staff "consistently work to create meaningful interactions with residents through conversation, activities, encouragement, and everyday moments of connection." Multiple visitors mentioned specific nurses by name and described feeling confident in their loved ones' day-to-day safety and comfort. Leadership, including the Administrator and Nursing Director, receives praise for guiding families through difficult transitions with authentic care. The physical environment has improved notably over time; one long-time family member observed the facility has "formed into a very beautiful place" with well-maintained floors and pleasant outdoor spaces. Residents and families also commend the food quality and daily activity programming.

A hospice chaplain who visits multiple senior communities remarked that staff "sincerely care for their patients" and "consider it a calling and not just a job." One practical note: the facility maintains secured exits for resident safety, which some visitors appreciate and others find slightly inconvenient when visiting.

I am a resident at Autumnwood Nursing Facility. I have been here for almost two years. I have many medical issues and I never thought I could live in a place like this. To my surprise I am more than satisfied. I live on the 200 hall. Day shift Misty is my nurse and 2nd shift Danielle is my nurse. I never have to worry about anything happening to me with these two nurses. They can look at you and know something is wrong before you do. My nurses are both excellent and amazing at their job and they are very personable. At this time in my life I have no plan of leaving this Facility. I am happy and feel very safe.<br>Both of my nurses deserve a medal for all of the extra work they put in.<br>Thank you, Sincerely, Lori Ann Kiesel

There are some amazing nurses at this facility. But one nurse who sticks out is Kortney Heminger! She will get you laughing by her jokes and by her all types of music she blurts out!

Couldn’t ask for a better night shift team to work with, Kortney, Beth Tammie, Brianna, and Amanda are just a few of the workers that go above and beyond to make sure their residents and employees are taken care of! Truly an amazing team to work with!
