Thompson's Personal Care Home is a small assisted living and board and care home in Augusta, GA, that can support up to 6 seniors at a time, offering both private and semi-private rooms that come furnished and have phones, closets, and easy access to ADA-compliant bathrooms with grab bars. The home helps with daily needs like bathing, dressing, toileting, hygiene, feeding by spoon, and transfers, with support staff available day and night for 24-hour supervision, though certain care services may vary like alert staff or insulin assistance. Residents living with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, low mobility, or diabetes have care plans focused on their needs, and the staff can give diabetic diets, help with incontinence, provide medication management, do health checks, and coordinate with healthcare providers for things like elevated blood pressure.
Home-cooked meals get served in a spacious dining room or with private dining if needed, with snacks between meals, easy-to-read menus, and special restrictions like diabetes or food allergies taken seriously, and there's a culinary chef involved for quality ingredients. Staff clean the rooms, manage laundry and linens, do dry cleaning, and organize move-in help, so the living spaces, which you can personalize, stay tidy. Residents have plenty of activities like daily exercise, fall prevention classes, arts and crafts, music therapy, pet therapy, tabletop games, movie nights, a computer learning class, social evening events, and both wellness programs and fitness programs using on-site exercise equipment. There's a community garden, walking paths, recreation rooms, a theatre room, games room, book room, chapel, cafe, communal kitchen, health area, steam room, hot tub, barber and salon, and outdoor spaces for relaxation or gardening, with pets allowed and parking available.
Thompson's arranges transportation for medical appointments, errands, and church visits, and helps with travel to faith-based facilities, giving residents flexibility and support with getting out in the community safely. The facility has a 24/7 security system, call buttons for emergencies, and scheduled daily programs that are meant to keep everyone social, active, and stimulated, with individual service assessments adapting care to each person's needs. Wi-Fi and cable TV are included throughout the home for convenience, there's a supportive community feel, and the staff try to make a warm, caring, and dignified space where seniors can hold onto their independence as much as possible. Respite care is also available for short-term stays, easing the load on primary caregivers when they need a break.
