Hammond Square sits at 128 Walnut Lane in North Augusta, SC, and people know it as a senior living community that welcomes residents into a calm and supportive place, where folks can find both private studio and one-bedroom apartments, some with kitchens, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms, and each unit comes with its own emergency call system, air conditioning, and internet or cable options, though the details can vary depending on what's available. The building is a two-story setup designed with wide doors and hallways, so people using wheelchairs or walkers won't have trouble getting around, and residents can also bring their pets, as Hammond Square allows pets and keeps a garden and pet-friendly outdoor spaces on the property, with porches, sunrooms, and courtyards to sit and socialize or just enjoy some fresh air. Inside, there's a dining room offering three meals a day plus snacks, and meals come out restaurant-style, which means everyone can have a seat and visit over food, while in the common rooms, folks can enjoy entertainment, play games, or chat with neighbors. There's a dedicated beauty or barber salon onsite, computer stations for staying connected, and activity rooms for arts and crafts, so people don't just have to stay in their own rooms all day.
Care at Hammond Square means each person gets a plan that fits their needs, and support ranges from help with things like bathing, dressing, walking, or just remembering medicine, to more detailed attention when medical problems come up. There's a registered nurse onsite or on-call around the clock, with caregivers always around, so even those who need memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia can get support in a safe and steady environment that helps reduce wandering and confusion. If someone needs it, Hammond Square teams up with hospice services, offers respite care for short stays, and works out ways for people to age in place, so folks don't have to move out just because they get a little more frail or need more help. They've also got therapy options like physical, occupational, and rehab therapy, and nearby hospitals are pretty accessible when extra medical care's needed.
Social life matters here, so there's always a calendar packed with activities, including games like bingo and rummy, Bible study, tai chi, sing-alongs, arts and crafts, pet therapy, and even a cooking club, plus regular outings for shopping, bird watching, or eating out, and exercise with walking clubs and wellness groups. The staff runs things like trash pick-up, laundry, housekeeping, and maintenance, and residents can use the bus or shuttle for trips to doctor's appointments and such, or park their own cars since parking's available for both residents and guests.
Prices for assisted living apartments start around $3,100, and there's an entry fee of $2,000, with different apartment layouts and living options, including independent living, memory care, nursing home services, and continuing care for people who want to stay put as needs change. Some apartments may have washers, dryers, or even views of the outdoors, though not every unit's the same. Hammond Square doesn't make luxury promises but it covers the bases, aiming to keep seniors comfortable, safe, and connected with others, whether someone needs a little help or a lot.
