Our read on Autumn Lake Healthcare At Southgate

Autumn Lake Healthcare At Southgate runs 152 beds in Carneys Point under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number worth sitting with: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 32.2%, actually beats the national 45.8%, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are scheduled. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection came in February 2025. Quality measures score well while staffing and inspections sit lower, that split is the whole story here.
