Our 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. Glenridge is a secured facility where residents live in one of three "neighborhoods" that feature a home environment with a soothing and calming atmosphere.

Glenridge has many spaces available for residents and family to take advantage of the outdoors. We have an enclosed atrium for outdoor activities and several solariums for family visits and social gatherings.

The facility has a paved walking path circling the exterior of the building and a paved patio area directly off the Community Center in front of the building.
