John's Helping Hands is a small personal care home in Augusta, Georgia, with six beds and a license from Georgia's Department of Social Services. The home sits on Larkspur Drive and has a simple, home-like setting, offering private and semi-private rooms along with ADA-compliant bathrooms. This place looks after seniors who need help with daily activities, including bathing, dressing, medication management, and getting in and out of bed, plus full assistance for those with mobility issues and incontinence care. There's a strong focus on memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, along with secure features to keep residents safe from wandering.
Staff are available round the clock, including on-call nurses and support with medical needs, even insulin shots and two-person transfers when needed. There are three home-cooked meals every day, and the kitchen can prep special diets for diabetes or high blood pressure. Residents can join in regular health checks, weight management, daily fitness, and therapy sessions like animal therapy, music, and arts and crafts, so there's always something to do to help keep folks active and connected.
The property has cozy spaces for reading, games, and movie nights, plus outdoor decks, gardens, and a hair salon that comes right to the residents. Pets are welcome, which folks here seem to enjoy, and the staff organizes evening events and trips out for doctor visits, errands, or religious services if needed. Other features include a private dining room, laundry, and housekeeping, and even computer access for those who want to stay in touch online. There's 24-hour emergency response, transport coordination, special meals for allergies, and daily support with personal care, all wrapped up in a caring, familiar environment that feels less crowded and more like family because there's only six people living here at a time. Payment options include private pay, long-term care insurance, or Veterans Aid and Attendance, with a base price starting around $3,000 a month and adjustments based on what each resident needs.
