Adult Day Care Communities in Augusta, GA

"My mom and I went to Judd C Hickey Day Center and she loved it. They have Bingo, music, arts and crafts, and on certain days, they go out and they do little walking activities. A speaker comes in to talk to them, a church comes in and prepares food for them, and they do all kinds of different things to stimulate their minds. We were invited to one of the meals, but at that time, my mom wasn't in the mood, so I didn't get the chance to see the meals. They have an area where you can exercise, they have a quiet room if they don't feel like being around a lot of people, and they have an activity room where residents can draw and play Bingo. The place is really nice and clean. The staff was just wonderful, so kind and loving, to the point where my mom felt really welcome and I felt welcome, too. I didn't see anything that would deter me from leaving my mother there. It was well put together. They have RNs there and I like that a lot. They have a garden and it was nice and clean."

"We're using SarahCare of Evans to Locks adult daycare program, approximately 7 to 8 hours 2 to 3 times a week. It's a very closeby facility. I chose it because I knew I needed something to provide some respite care for my wife. We had visited there approximately three years ago, and at that time, my wife didn't need it, but a year ago this month I decided to talk to them again about her coming to their facility. I was very impressed not only with the physical facility and their programs, but certainly the staff that are delivering those programs. It appears to be a very well-run organization, and my wife seemed to like it. They've got arts and crafts, games, and singing. They don't take the participants out on trips, but they get them outside around the immediate yard. My wife enjoys going outside, so they will pick her to go with the staff member to go check the mail, for instance. The care is individualized, but they do have a very well-set up program. Meals and refreshments are also included. The initial cost of care started out at $65 per visit regardless of the amount of time for that visit, and they do require eight visits per month. Because of her increased need for care, the price now in her situation has gone up to $70 per visit. That's only during the weekdays; they do not provide services during the weekends or holidays. "

Aiken Center for Active Seniors was established to offer seniors a unique option for daily care. Older adults can participate in quality, life-enriching programs in an upscale, secure environment while socializing among peers in our cheerful, home-like Center.
