Dugas - Community Living Arrangement

Dugas - Community Living Arrangement sits in North Augusta, SC and offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all with a real focus on community integration and independence. The place uses terms like multi-generational living and houses folks in bungalow-style homes and properties with features like finished walkout basements, fireplaces, and sump pumps, and some homes have separate living spaces or wings for privacy, which is good if you've got family members who want their own space. Folks will find outdoor recreation spots, a waterfront view, and a dock for relaxing outside, and walking paths and gardens make it easy to get fresh air or meet with others. Some of the names tied to the place include Dugas CLA, Gracewood Developmental Center, Augusta Villas, and Enchanted Lives, and they serve people with a range of care needs, from personal care and adult day health to outpatient therapy, hospice, memory care, and nursing care-even support for folks with drug abuse treatment needs or end-stage kidney care. Community Living Arrangement means you'll get services designed to help with daily activities, meal prep, medication management, housework, and travel to appointments, and 24-hour staff can help with bathing or more involved health care if needed. Rooms come fully furnished, private or semi-private, and you'll find a dining room serving meals made for most dietary needs-including diabetes diets-with help available for feeding or special restrictions. There's Wi-Fi and phone access, laundry service, emergency alert systems, and a move-in coordinator to help new residents get settled. The site runs scheduled daily programs, social activities, and community events, which help people make friends or just feel more at home, and there's plenty of transport to parks or local attractions too. Dugas CLA also has ties to other services like motorcycle, boat, and motor vehicle dealers, which makes it a bit different from other places, and you might see amenities and programs using names like Personal Care Home, Ambulatory Surgical Center, or Nursing Home. The overall focus is providing enough support so folks can stay comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible, with activities each day, lovely outdoor areas, and an honest sense of community for people with many different needs.
