PruittHealth – Augusta Hills is licensed as a nursing home and delivers around-the-clock skilled nursing care. Residents who need ongoing medical observation can rely on registered nurses who coordinate closely with an on-site registered dietician and a board-certified advanced diabetes manager. The community is equipped to handle complex diabetes care, including blood-glucose monitoring, medication adjustments, and education on disease management. A dedicated physical therapy team offers individualized treatment plans to help residents maintain or regain mobility and strength, all under the supervision of attending physicians.
Beyond the primary medical services, the staff assists with medication administration, routine health assessments, and coordination of outside medical appointments when necessary. Rehabilitation professionals, including occupational and speech therapists, work in tandem with nursing staff to support recovery after illness or surgery. Care plans are reviewed regularly to make sure each resident’s changing needs are addressed promptly, and families are kept informed about progress and any recommended adjustments.
Private and semiprivate rooms are available, and each living space is designed for safety and accessibility. Some rooms include direct access to the landscaped outdoor areas, giving residents an easy way to enjoy fresh air during nicer weather, but not every accommodation has the same layout or features. Families are encouraged to review room options during a tour to confirm which safety features and conveniences are included in a specific unit.
Residents receive three meals a day, prepared to accommodate individual dietary requirements. The culinary team collaborates with the registered dietician to adjust menus for health conditions such as diabetes, renal issues, or texture-modified diets. Tray service can be arranged for those who need to dine in their rooms, but communal dining is emphasized to encourage social interaction and appetite stimulation.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts group events, light exercise, and recreational programs designed to match a range of abilities. A library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading, internet access, and keeping in touch with family through email or video calls.
