Sunrise At Parkway sits at 1339 Interstate Parkway in Augusta, Georgia, and it's a locally owned family business that started back in 2013, and even though it's not big, it's got a homey feel with a licensed bed capacity of 22, so people know each other and staff pays close attention. Residents can pick private or semi-private bedrooms, all of which come fully furnished, with studio apartments and suites that have kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, telephone, and internet so folks can feel at home, and people can bring small pets, which is nice if you're used to a furry friend.
The place is a personal care home offering help for folks wanting assisted living, independent living, memory care like Alzheimer's support, skilled nursing help, and even respite care for short stays when caregivers need a break, and they offer things in both English and Spanish, which can make things easier for different families. Staff provide help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and transfers, and they're around 24 hours with a call system if anyone needs help or something happens during the night, and they handle medication management and reminders, which takes some worry off folks' minds. Nurses arrange transportation to medical appointments, and they'll call or coordinate with healthcare providers, handling things behind the scenes so residents don't have to fuss with lots of details themselves.
Most chores are covered too, from housekeeping and laundry to linen service and even some drycleaning, so people don't have to worry about keeping up with all that, and everyone gets regular meals with special diets if needed, including diabetic meals. There's community dining for folks who like to eat together, and there are common areas with TVs, recreation rooms, and arts and crafts space where you'll find residents doing puzzles, music, or joining in with the resident musical group.
Outdoors, there are gardens and plenty of space to sit outside, so people can soak up some sunshine in the rockers, which they seem to enjoy as a regular part of the day, and transportation for group outings, shopping trips, and field trips is included, along with parking for guests. Organized activities include game nights, story times, arts and crafts, music programs, movie nights in common rooms, and resident-led games or hobbies, which help folks stay connected and busy, and the family rooms and holiday decorations make things feel welcoming when visitors come by. There's even a beauty salon service on campus.
They've designed the place so people with different needs-from independent folks to those needing a lot of daily help-can find the right level of support without losing their privacy, and they use an all-inclusive pricing structure, with a $1,000 entry fee and different rent options for private or semi-private rooms. It's licensed by the state under license number 051352119 and designed for people 55+, so you don't find children living there, and the place focuses on creating a safe, comfortable environment that supports dignity and independence, whether someone needs a little help or more hands-on care.
Sunrise At Parkway provides a steady routine, support with long-term care, and resources for families-plus advice about things like family caregiving and long-term care insurance-and the staff try to make the transition simple, even helping with move-in coordination. There's always someone close by to help, and people are encouraged to visit, take a tour, and meet others who live there, all without pressure, just so families can see what life's really like.
