The Story of Autumn Senior Living Turnaround Success:
Cabot Cove of Largo

When Autumn took over Cabot Cove in April 2011, this 62-unit assisted living community was in serious trouble: occupancy had fallen to below 50%. The property was losing money every month and ownership had paid the property’s mortgage for the previous 6 years. It had significant past due payables. The property was in neglected condition with over 200 maintenance issues, including water damage.

Within seven months, Autumn turned the property around:

• Monthly revenue up 97%.
• All maintenance issues were resolved.
• Despite a difficult lending market, Autumn had closed a financial package to replace the property’s tired and damaged furnishings, fixtures and equipment.
• The property produced sufficient cash to pay its own mortgage.

RESIDENTS

We understand that the long-term success of any care community begins with the quality of life of its residents. Free to live life to the fullest, with the warmest of care – residents find a true home at each of Autumn Senior Living’s communities. Fulfilled residents stay longer, and satisfied families gratefully champion the facility. This leads to full beds and growing waiting lists.

We’re proud of our track record for turning declining properties into thriving communities.

COMMUNITY

Optimal design to increase well-being and independence is central to our approach. Our communities are spacious, light and welcoming, and include desirable amenities: private rooms and personal bathrooms, social areas, dining rooms, libraries, exercise rooms and more. In many ways, Autumn Senior Living properties are a blend of homes and resorts into one outstanding community.

Whether designing from scratch or altering an existing environment, the Autumn Senior Living team will make the intelligent changes that uplift residents and ROI alike.
