August Richmond offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to select the level of day-to-day support that best matches their needs. The community can administer supplemental oxygen, accommodate physician-ordered special diets, and manage diabetes for residents on oral medications or insulin injections. Care teams are trained to work with individuals who live with moderate dementia, striving to maintain consistency and reduce confusion while monitoring for any change in condition.
Registered and licensed practical nurses are on site around the clock and backed up by an additional nurse who is always on call. All employees complete background checks, and an activity director coordinates daily programming. Safety features include a wander-guard system for residents prone to exit seeking and in-room pull cords that directly alert staff. In addition to regular nursing oversight, a podiatrist visits the building to address foot and ankle needs. Staff can lend some physical assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting, while residents who require help transferring can receive standby support, one-person transfers, or aid maneuvering walkers and wheelchairs.
Private and semi-private suites are available, each designed for ease of movement with wide doorways and barrier-free bathrooms. Select units add features such as kitchenettes, walk-in closets or private patios, while others retain a simpler layout favored by residents who prefer fewer upkeep responsibilities. Every accommodation includes an emergency call system; however, not every room contains all of the optional amenities, so families may wish to review floor plans during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site three times a day and served restaurant-style in the main dining room. The culinary staff follows physician-ordered diet plans, offering low-sugar, low-sodium and texture-modified selections as needed. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents who choose Independent Living can still opt into the full meal program or keep light groceries in their room. Guests are welcome to join loved ones for meals with advance notice.
Residents have access to on-site parking spaces, barrier-free common areas, building-wide internet service and a quiet library for reading or computer use. The property sits close to public transportation routes, and a scheduled shuttle provides rides to medical appointments only, helping residents maintain important healthcare visits without relying on family transportation.
