A safe place to stay, for as long as they need.
Whether it's recovery, respite, or simply a bridge between what's next — we're ready to welcome them.
A Gentle Place to Begin
Sometimes families need care right now — not in six months, not after a long waitlist, but today. Whether your loved one is coming home from the hospital, you're stepping away for a few weeks, or you're not quite sure what comes next, Autumn Hill Manor offers a warm, unhurried place to stay. We treat every short-term guest the way we treat everyone here: like family.

Who It's For
Short-term stays work for more situations than you might think.
If your loved one needs a safe, caring place to stay — even temporarily — we're here. These are some of the most common reasons families call us.
- Post-hospital recovery — stepping down from a hospital or rehab stay before returning home
- Caregiver respite — giving a family caregiver time to rest, travel, or recover
- After surgery or illness — when home alone isn't safe yet but a nursing home feels like too much
- Trial stay — families considering long-term assisted living who want to experience it first
- Unexpected situations — a family emergency, home repair, or gap in care coverage

Stories from families like yours
The trust of local families is the truest measure of our care.
"Here’s a big shoutout to Autumn Hill Manor! Gina and her staff are so awesome and attentive. They truly care about all of the residents and treat them like their own family! The facility is super clean and the meals they prepare are amazing. We started with our parents in an independent apartment around seven years ago and after Dad passed almost two years ago, we moved Mom into an assisted living room because of her continued decline with dementia. We have been greatly blessed by the care and love for our Mom."

"Autumn Hill Manor was the perfect place for our Grandmother to call home during the last several years of her life. The staff there treats the residents like family & they really get to know you on a first name basis. From the Easter Bunny tradition on Easter Sundays, to the game nights throughout the week, I can’t think of a better choice our family could have made for long term living and care for our loved one. They truly are top notch in our book."

"Our grandmother was at Autumn Hill for many years, and we absolutely loved it. The grounds are beautiful, facility is newly renovated and feels very homey, and staff is adorning to the residents. They always have fun activities planned for the residents— my grandmother especially loved playing Bingo and events where bands would come and play (and families were invited to so many special events). So many of the precious staff has been there for 15/20+ years— which says it all! They love what they do!!! It was sweet for our family to see her thriving in such a loving environment."

"My husband & I highly recommend Autumn Hill! His precious mom moved in initially as a temporary resident when we started a remodel at our home. What she found is a community of friends and staff that have re-ignited her excitement and zest of life! She feels cared for and important. When she comes home with us for visits she always has stories to share about her relationships there and looks forward to the activities they have for her. We are so glad that she is happy at Autumn Hill!"
