Shirlean's Home Care in Augusta, GA provides assisted-living for residents who want daily support without giving up as much independence as possible. On-site caregivers help manage diabetes through routine monitoring, medication reminders, and prompt attention to changes in blood sugar. Twenty-four-hour supervision ensures that someone is always available for help with activities of daily living, urgent needs, or scheduled care tasks. Staff coordinate with outside physicians, therapists, and home-health providers so that treatment plans stay current and follow each resident’s medical requirements.
The community is a secured environment with controlled entry points and regular safety checks, reducing the risk of wandering and unauthorized access. Staffing levels are maintained to respond quickly to emergencies, and team members are trained in fall prevention, chronic disease management, and emergency protocols. Combined, these measures offer a structured setting where residents receive consistent oversight tailored to their individual care plans.
Resident accommodations vary. Some living spaces offer in-room Wi-Fi, a personal phone line, and designated parking for those who still drive. Others may be closer to indoor common areas or provide quicker access to outdoor spaces for fresh air and relaxation. Because not every unit includes each feature, families should verify which specific amenities—such as resident parking, outdoor access, or in-room connectivity—are available in the room they choose.
Meals are included in the monthly rate and are prepared on-site with attention to common dietary restrictions and physician-ordered guidelines. Residents can expect three scheduled meals each day, along with occasional barbecues or picnic-style dining events that offer a change of pace and additional social interaction. Staff monitor nutritional intake and coordinate with healthcare providers to adjust menus when medical conditions, such as diabetes, call for particular attention to carbohydrates or portion sizes.
For daily engagement, Shirlean's Home Care schedules group outings to local attractions and shops, providing transportation and staff assistance. An on-site activity center hosts crafts, games, exercise sessions, and other organized events, giving residents a dedicated space to stay active and socialize.
