Family Support Services
Family members are very important members of our caregiving team at Glenridge.
It's difficult to have someone else care for a loved one, so we try to continually improve our residents' quality of life and to assist family members during this difficult time.
Respite Care Program
Are you a caregiver? We take care of our community who lovingly take care of their relatives at home, but may need a break from time to time.
Our Respite Care Program provides loved ones with a safe and caring environment for a limited stay. This visit can range from a weekend to 30 days.

Facility
Glenridge is located on a quiet street on the east side of Augusta. The grounds are nicely landscaped to take advantage of our secluded, tree-lined site.
Our building is arranged to meet the special needs of people with dementia. Our residents live in one of three "neighborhoods" that feature a home environment with a soothing and calming atmosphere.
Glenridge is a secured facility to ensure the safety of our residents, but we offer plenty of areas for meaningful wandering, including a secured courtyard.
We have an enclosed atrium for outdoor activities and several solariums for family visits and social gatherings.
Comfort Care at Glenridge
We developed a five-bed comfort care wing at Glenridge to support patients who present at the hospital in their final weeks of life and choose or require specialty level support for end-stage illness in a nursing-supervised setting.
This wing is overseen by our Director of Palliative Care and patients are cared for by medical providers, nurses, aides and therapists who are specially trained in hospice and palliative care.
Comfort Care is compassionate, specialized and symptom-focused. It affirms life and regards disease progression as a natural process. Comfort Care provides a treatment option to patients and families as goals of medical care change from finding a cure to alleviating the burden of disease by maintaining or enhancing independence and health.
