Overall Review of Augustus Care Home

common 17 reviews mention this

Staff caregiving and responsiveness

Residents and families most often describe caring staff who respond and help with day-to-day needs.

Many reviewers say the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely focused on residents, including taking time to connect and answer questions. Several families describe fast help during a move or transitions, and mention consistent caregivers who keep residents engaged. A small set of reviews goes the other way, criticizing professionalism and adequacy of care in a few cases, which is a notable downside to weigh.

common 5 reviews mention this

Activities keep residents engaged

Residents benefit from regular activities that help reduce isolation and encourage social engagement.

Reviewers mention that the community provides socialization and scheduled activities, especially for people who were previously isolated. Several also say staff actively get residents involved rather than leaving them to just watch TV, and they describe varied activities and a lively day-to-day routine. One reviewer also highlights that the facility’s courtyard and community feel part of what helps residents settle in.

Pests and sanitation complaints
