I am grateful for the exceptional care my sister received at Cornell Care. Every aspect of her care was provided with genuine concern for her overall health and well-being. The atmosphere at Cornell Care was warm and welcoming. The nurses and aides were attentive, kind, and compassionate. The care my sister received from the Therapy department was truly outstanding! She was encouraged to join in and she participated in a variety of recreational activities The administrative staff was responsive and helpful. I felt totally comfortable with the care my sister received. Thank you.

Autumn Lakes, formerly known as Cornell Care, assumed management a little over a year ago. In all fairness, they took on an enormous initiative. Every area and department looked like it needed assessment and restoration. What I have noticed is that there is focus on total renovation - new flooring, upgraded heating and air conditioning in residents rooms, new televisions and nurses mobile stations (one wing at a time). I have noticed an increase in social activities for the residents: outside musical entertainers on a regular basis (at least monthly), church services, monthly birthday parties, daily Bingo and Pokeno, arts and crafts, manicures for the ladies, Thanksgiving dinner (families are invited), barbecues, Christmas celebrations (Santa showed up with gifts). It’s still a work in progress but I am very encouraged. Leo, the facility manager and staff are very professional and aim to accommodate. Nothing is perfect but when you are left with no option for your loved one, Autumn Lakes should at least be considered, especially once the renovation is completed. I gave this 4 stars because I remain hopeful that more changes and improvements are coming.

Most of the nursing staff as well as the CNA‘s are awesome there. There are a couple of bad eggs, but that’s wherever you go. Food needs to be improved but the director of food and nutrition is worth on it. The administrator is a pretty straightforward guy. He listens to your concerns but Again, you have to take it with the nurses and the aids. Those are the ones you deal with on a daily basis and for the most part and when I say most part, there’s maybe one or two nurses and maybe one or two Aids there that don’t care, but for the majority of them, they care and are willing to go above and beyond to help out their patients. Gasinda, Jayda, Dimitria, Cheyenne, Jackson, Terry, And last, but not least Nurse Rebecca and there are so many more John from From supply Erica from housekeeping Rosalita From housekeeping there are so many great ones there that really do care and love what they do and love who they take care of. To be honest, I would recommend this to friends and family because of the great nurse is there and the grade aids! Christopher Cummings

It is with great appreciation that our family extends our sincere gratitude to Angelo Sirepisios for the exemplary professionalism, compassion, and excellence demonstrated during the admission of both of our grandparents into the long-term care facility. From the very first point of contact, the experience was handled with the highest level of professionalism, attentiveness, and care. Angelo navigated every step of the process with remarkable efficiency while maintaining a deeply personal and compassionate approach. During what can often be an emotional and complex transition for families, the staff ensured that every detail was managed with dignity, patience, and thoughtful communication. What truly distinguishes this organization is its unwavering commitment to treating residents and their families with respect, empathy, and genuine kindness. The level of coordination, support, and reassurance provided throughout the admission process gave our family tremendous confidence and peace of mind knowing that our grandparents are in such capable and caring hands. We are profoundly grateful for the dedication, integrity, and excellence demonstrated by the entire team. Angelo, your commitment to providing such exceptional service and compassionate care is truly commendable and deeply appreciated by our family.

I was apprehensive of placing my Mother in a Rehabilitation Facility, I've heard many stories. I am writing this to express my sheer joy and gratitude for finding this Facility. Everyone has a warm and welcoming spirit. My mother is extremely satisfied with her care and the staff makes her feel welcome, safe and cared for, all her needs are addressed quickly, the "out of bed policy " is the greatest she is doing quite well, considering her condition. The level of empathy and understanding cannot be expressed in words. I enjoy visiting daily and seeing the residents happy and comfortable warms my heart. Please continue your excellent service I am truly GRATEFUL.
