Legacy at Walton Oaks sits at 401 Fairhope Street in Augusta, Georgia, over in the East Augusta neighborhood, and has a reputation for being a comfortable and safe place for people aged 55 and older who want an affordable and secure home with help nearby if needed, and it's actually a low-income tax credit property with 106 units, so housing stays affordable for those who qualify, with one-bedroom apartments at around $527 per month and two-bedrooms at $634, and where they let you bring your cat or dog as long as they fit the community's pet policy, which makes it nice for folks who want their pet by their side. This is a gated, tree-lined neighborhood with planned activities and three different floor plans, all with full kitchens and features designed for seniors, like elevators, accessible showers, wide hallways, and even some spacious tubs for relaxing, and since they run weekly continental breakfasts and a coffee bar you'll see neighbors gather and chat.
The grounds include both indoor and outdoor common spaces so residents can get fresh air or socialize, and there are devotional activities on-site for spiritual needs, plus beauty and barber services, and a no smoking policy indoors, whether it's a private room or shared space. Legacy at Walton Oaks offers a range of senior services including assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, independent living for folks who get along fine on their own, and even short-term or long-term nursing for anyone who needs it, and they have staff or aides who'll help residents with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, or taking medicine, especially if family can't always be there to help. Some services are tailored for veterans, helping them get benefits like Aid and Attendance, and there's even support for family caregivers who want advice or help deciding what level of care makes sense.
The community focuses on giving people a sense of belonging and helping them live with as little worry as possible by offering transportation and onsite parking, plus Wi-Fi and social events so there's always something to do or someone to see, and staff work to keep things safe and comfortable for everyone, including those with handicaps or special needs. Recent reviews put the place at 4.6 or 5 stars, showing people are mostly happy there, and the property itself has been around since 2011, so it's not brand new but has a solid track record. Legacy at Walton Oaks works as part of a network providing local expertise, senior housing guidance, and help for families to plan long-term care, so even if you just want advice, you can talk to someone about your options, and the team there takes pride in running a clean, friendly, and affordable community for seniors who want both peace of mind and a little extra help.
