Thrive at Augusta in Martinez, GA

We were very pleased with the community. They took very good care of my relative that was there. Everything was first class. The attention, room, and space were all good. Due to the pandemic the only problem I had was the visitation schedule.

My loved one is currently a resident at Camellia Walk of Evans and everything has been great for her at this facility. The staff is helpful, we have no complaints. I would recommend this facility to others.

They don't have a laundry department like the place she came from. I do mother's laundry and a lot of residents do their own. I do think that they could provide more choices on the food menu and also have more activities offered as well.
