Lovely little senior community in the rural town of Augusta. Almost has all the ammenities of a continuum of care community, but does not have a nursing home. Secure dementia care units, assisted living apartments, adult day care, respite...convenient for residents and families. Outside home health and hospice utilized to meet the medical needs of the residents. Buildings and grounds are well kept and love their philosophy to treat their residents like they are our own family.
