Thrive at Augusta

Assisted living and memory care share a 40-acre property at Thrive at Augusta, 313 Furys Ferry Road in Martinez. The land was once a horse ranch, and 2 resident horses still live there. Thrive Senior Living operates the community, which serves adults who need daily help or a secure memory care setting but still want room to walk outside.

Assisted living includes supervision of daily activities and of residents taking their own medications, with trained staff available around the clock, an emergency response system and a resident call system. Several floor plans are offered, in private or semi-private arrangements, with spacious bathrooms and kitchenettes. Climate control and high-speed internet are listed. The community is pet friendly and has a secured dog park, which matters for a resident who does not want to give up a dog.

The chef asks residents for input on the menu, and 3 meals a day plus snacks are served. Besides the main dining room there is a private dining room for family meals, a Bistro open 24 hours for grab-and-go food, and the Mint Julep Bar, which hosts live music. Other shared spaces include a movie theater, a library, a game room, a fitness center, a salon and barber shop, and walking paths across the grounds.

Memory care residents live in suites designed for their needs and are encouraged to join activities, with a certified memory care team working alongside each family. Ask how that team keeps families updated, and compare other senior living in Martinez before choosing.
