My father is going to be moving into Granite Hill Estates. It's one of the nicer ones around Augusta. He also didn't want to go far. We're going to keep the house for a while, so he wants to be near the house. It's in great condition and aesthetically pleasing. It's a beautiful setting, and the staff members that we've met were super friendly and helpful. I love the variety of common spaces and the ambience. It's a high level.

I live in a cottage, so can't comment on the apartment rooms. The cottages come in various sizes, and many have had additions added since originally built. In a lot, fireplaces have been added, or back porches, or an extra room off the back. The food is excellent. The staff is well-trained, friendly, and competent.

Granite Hill Estates is exceptional. Our father chose to move to GHE’s independent living in order to be with other people, enjoy a wide variety of activities and wonderful meals, and give his children the comfort of knowing he was safe and well-cared for. He eventually needed greater levels of care and has received that without moving from GHEsp. The staff treat him and us like family. If we have a question or request, we receive an immediate response. Every time I visit my dad he tells me, “I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”

My mom was a resident in the main lodge, memory care unit for 2 years. Her room was very comfortable, looking out onto a courtyard. The food was wonderful too. The best part was the staff-they were fantastic! They were very attentive, friendly and competent. Granite Hill is an excellent facility and we are most grateful for their exceptional care of our mom.

We went to Granite Hill Estates. We liked it, but it did not have any openings. It was very good, but they had a waiting list for at least a year. I only met with the person that showed us the facility, and he was very good. The facilities are first class. We liked it because it would have been the best location closest to us.

Granite Hill Estates was a new place. What’s really good about this place is the variety of independent living to assisted living to nursing home care. There is a good mix of offering there. Their grounds were the best of all the ones that I saw. The community has a nice setting. It is on a fairly quite rural area. It is pricier than some of the others, but if money is not an object, I think it is worth it. A couple of my friends have relatives that live there and they really enjoy it.

The facility is divided into multiple sections. They have an assisted-living area and a nursing home in the main lodge as well as several duplex villas located on the property but detached from the main facility. The campus is fairly large and covers an area of, I would estimate, around 15 to 20 acres. The facilities in the main lodge are well maintained and are up-scale compared to other facilities. They have multiple small dining rooms as well as a main dining room in the center of the main lodge. The facility also offers a lot of amenities including a swimming pool, salon on site, and craft room to name a few. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. Some of the staff needs some work on their people skills, but overall, they are above average. They have shuttles to bring people to different locations around the city as well.Overall, this facility is very nice and updated.
