As a physician, I shopped very carefully for a rehab facility for my best friend. Of course, online shopping is often unproductive, especially for personal services. But we selected Autumn Lake Cherry Lane in part because of horrid experiences with another Laurel rehab place.

We were instantly impressed at the wonderful greeting and efficient intake process. But that was only the beginning. The departments coordinated together very well, staff was caring and attentive. I was especially impressed by the nursing manager, who seemed exceptionally effective at leading in a setting that is complex and often crushingly sad.

Was it perfect? No, but it was the top performer of three facilities we have had to use in the past two years.

I do suggest that they do some cosmetic remodeling to make the place feel less "institutional" and more cheerful.

But the most important thing is care delivery and I give them all their points for their successful efforts!
