Dexter Road - Community Living Arrangement

Dexter Road - Community Living Arrangement sits right on Dexter Road in Augusta, GA, and it has this setup where folks live in semi-private one-bedroom units, which means you don't always have to be alone but can have your own space, and it's all focused on a community-oriented way of living, where you'll see unique terms like "Community Living Arrangement" or "CLA" and sometimes "Intermediate Care Facility for Intellectually Disabled" or "ICF-IID" and even "Nursing Home" tied to the place, which lets you know they've got several types of care under one roof, everything from personal care to hospice, including nursing home services, all ready for people who need a bit more help with everyday life, and the care's always tailored to what each person actually needs. You get things like help with bathing, dressing, taking your medicine right, meals cooked for you and served in a dining room, daily housekeeping, laundry or dry cleaning, with folks available day and night to supervise or assist you, and you won't be left to wonder how you'll get from one place to another because they handle transportation and parking too. There are community rooms set up for movie nights, walking paths for a bit of fresh air and exercise, gardens for those who like to sit or stroll among the plants, and rooms that come already furnished if you want to just settle right in with less fuss, and because it's community-based, people look out for each other, and there are phone lines in rooms, an emergency alert system if you need it, scheduled activities and group outings, as well as options on meals for folks with diabetes or allergies, and if you want something different there's all-day dining. So the place tries to keep life as normal and active as possible, giving everyone a chance to socialize or join community-sponsored activities, while also arranging the medical services you need by working with your healthcare providers. Dexter Road CLA goes along with its ties to Gracewood Developmental Center's ICF-IID, running licensed facilities in a few different spots, like Augusta and Hephzibah, but what stands out is the way everything centers on providing care and support in a setting that makes people feel like part of a community, with the focus always on personal needs, daily help, and having an active, safe, and social place to live.
