Memory Care Communities in Augusta, GA

"My mother is staying in Benton House of Augusta and I'm very happy with it. The staff is great, they take very good care of her, and the food is good. In our situation, my mother has been the problem with her falling a lot, so the management there offered that as a fix for the problem. They recommended private sitters at certain times during the day when she's more agitated. She's in a private room, which is like a large bedroom, and it's very conveniently located. They had a bar type setup in the middle of the memory care facility, and the living area is in front of the bar, with the dining facility and living area with the TV, and the residents' rooms are circular around that area. So there are no hallways and the residents step out into the living area. It's a really good setup for a memory care unit. They have all kinds of stuff that she's not capable of doing, so they will do things like Rollerball for her and have her kick it. She has a baby doll, so they spend a lot of time with her and her baby doll getting her to do things with her doll. I love the staff, they're very loving. There's not one person that I walked in and thought, "This one's just here making money." They all really seem to enjoy working with the residents. Their dining area is very homey, it's incorporated into their living space, and nothing is institutionalized about it. I haven't eaten the food myself, but it looks really good and my mother eats it."

"My husband had respite care at Sodalis Martinez for two weeks and then he came back home. The staff was caring; I liked that. I also really liked the fact that it was bright and clean. Everything was up to date, and I appreciated that. My husband didn't enjoy the food, but I'm a gourmet cook, so I think he just missed my cooking. The room was very good; it was an apartment. The only thing is the bed, it was low. My husband is six feet and four inches tall, and he used to jump out of airplanes, so his spine and everything is not that great, so that low bed was not that great. Other than that, I was very confident about leaving him there. I was very confident in Nurse Channing. She was very good. She checked in with me, which I appreciated because I needed the rest. I'm my husband's only caregiver, so I appreciate it for keeping those channels open. I thought the staff were excellent."

"I toured Brandon Wilde. It was astronomically priced. However, I liked that you didn't have to bring a bed or a chair. Their chairs are reasonably clean, so they wouldn't hold urine or anything, which is quite nice. The place was very clean. The dining room was nice. There was no smell. The staff was nice. She answered all my questions."

"Camellia Walk of Evans was a very good facility. They answered all our questions. It seemed to meet the needs of what we were looking for. The staff was very knowledgeable. They gave us additional information that we hadn't thought of. It was all very clean and very neat. There were no urine smells. It was decorated friendly, not dark and drab and all that."

"We toured Madison Heights Evans. I was just impressed with the one who gave us the tour. They were out mingling with each other. They were being supervised. They were not just sitting in a room and looking at the wall. They do a lot of stuff with the residents. They take them out to the farm and see horses. The facility was very neat. They were very clean and did not smell like urine or anything. The facility was well-kept. Everyone was friendly and we were introduced to everybody that we saw. They were talking to the residents. They weren't just looking at them. They were just having interaction with them."

"My father has moved into Silver Bluff Grove Senior Living. It is a very nice facility. They're very professional and very compassionate. They have a lot of different amenities for the seniors. They appear to be very organized. The facility is clean. It is like the perfect facility for him. Although he's independent, they have nurses who administer medications. They will make sure that his laundry is washed. They have a salon and a barbershop there. They have several dining rooms. They go on different field trips. They have a little putty activity area in the back. I can eat with him. I would just let them know ahead of time. It was immaculate. Usually, care homes smell, but I did not smell an odor or anything. They're very nice and very modern. My dad loves to paint, so they have activities where they go downtown in the community and advertise their paintings and things of that nature."
