Autumnwood of Deckerville — Local services in Marion Township

My Mom Theresa Block Mother "T" to the staff and other residents resided at Autumnwood on and off for over 2 years, she had multiple health issues and finally in August 2019 was unable to return home because she required 24 hour skilled care. the team at Autumnwood supported her during her initial transitions into the facility and back home and finally into the facility full time.
