Oak Ridge Alzheimer’s Special Care Center

Autumn Leaves was OK. I went to a few support groups they had over there that were very nice. People with family there as residents thought highly of it. I didn’t hear any bad rumors or any bad things about it. I went there for support groups because they had open doors, and you didn’t have to have someone living there to go. It was a support group for families taking care of their loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

My mother is in Autumn Leaves of Fossil Creek right now. The room is wonderful, and my mother loves it. They're good-sized rooms with emergency rip cords included. Everything about the place is clean. She hasn't been there that long, but there hasn't been a bad experience yet. They go above and beyond what they need to do. The food is good. They keep my mother active all day long with whatever she can tolerate. They have church services, and during the day, they listen to music out in the great room. They monitor them constantly, then staff adjusts to whatever the residents' needs are.

I just happened to drive by Autumn Leaves of Fossil Creek, and I liked it. It had a good size to it. The staff member that I spoke with pointed out that they had a good staffing ratio. They average six residents to each staff member. They had really good dining facilities. They had two: one for those who can eat themselves, and another dining area where they actually had staff member assisting the residents. I was really impressed with them as they got everybody out active all day. You could see a lot of activities going on there. I visited it twice; once was on a Sunday afternoon, and they had a church group in there singing. The residents seemed to really enjoy that. Their memory care is basically like a hotel room with a living room and a bedroom. The only negative I had was the closet spaces were very limited. It was really a small closet area -- almost like a cabinet built in the wall. I would recommend this facility. The thing that stood out to me the most was the amount of staff and the care that I saw the staff giving to the residents.

Mother has been in Autumn Leaves almost a year now. They keep them very active and they give excellent care of their clients. There isn't too much that I could say that was bad. They have very good nurses. They stay in contact with me however they need to. I have a key so I'm invited to come anytime day and night so I can get in the dorm and go see mother, just go see what's going on and I really like that. The staff is just wonderful. I don't think it could be any better.

Autumn Leaves of Fossil Creek was a fabulous place but I could not afford it. I used to take my husband there for Day Care and they had a lot of community activities. They had speakers coming in, information was available for you and monthly meetings for the relatives. They also had more intricate activities like painting, tile-making and they allowed those who could cook in the kitchen. They had two kitchen and had more space for activities. They also had magnificent outside ground. The owner was very involved and they seemed to have bigger staff. They had on-going trainings for the staff and the facility was just on top. I would recommend this place if they could afford it.

I have had very good communication and responsiveness from the staff at this facility. They have been so very good, especially in the area of Memory Care which is their specialty. It is wonderful to have experts be able to tell us that what my father is going through is normal, as well as give us adequate and honest information about his disease. They do everything they can to make life as normal as possible, and the quality of life as high as they can. I am impressed with their caring attitudes.

What a gorgeous facility. I had a wonderful tour with Leon Polk, the Community Relations Director, and couldn't have been more pleased. The entire staff that I met helped me so much as I begin this journey with my mother. I know that she would love it and I wanted to move in myself. I couldn't ask for more in a facility!!!
