Retirement Services

According to the magazine "Where to Retire," Augusta is ranked number four among the nation's low-cost cities for retirement. This is partially based on the area's low cost of living and proximity to the respected health community.

In addition to the low cost of living and affordable housing, Augusta offers retirees a beautiful and historic city with a diverse culture, vibrant arts community and mild climate. These are only some of the reasons that over 16,000 retiree family members from Fort Gordon call Augusta home.

There are over 40 retirement communities, assisted living and nursing home facilities in the Augusta and Columbia County area.
