My in-person tour at Savanna House means we went and saw somebody, talked in the conference room, and they showed us a room. It was pretty nice, I liked it, and it was a good experience. Most of my questions were answered. I saw a one-bedroom unit and a service studio that had a wall in there, so it was still like a one-bedroom. The staff said that most studios are that size, they just didn't have that wall in there. It was very nice, but I don't know how it compares to what's out there.

I toured Savanna House. It was very good, and I actually picked them for my dad and gave them a deposit, but he was not ready to go. The staff was awesome, they were very good, accommodating, and welcoming. The accommodation was very good, it was very nice, well maintained, and adequate. The dining area looked very nice, we talked to some residents, and they were very happy with it.

I am/was a resident of this facility
We're staying at Savanna House. It's like a family. I definitely would recommend them. They are very friendly, from the executive director down to the head nurse. They don't stay in their offices. They mingle with the people who come in and the people living there. It's a tight knit group. The food and the cook are excellent. The rooms are very clean, neat, and nice sized. They have varied schedule of activities. They have a social hour on a Friday afternoon where they can get cold drinks, wine or beer, and they have different people come in and perform for them. The crafts are fun, too. No one would ever get bored. They're very reasonable and comparable with other retirement centers.

Savanna House was great, kind of a newer place, and beautiful. They seem like they would be very accommodating to your needs. The rooms were nice but not any bigger than anywhere else. The residents can bring their own furniture. The staff member who showed me around was great, very nice, informative, and answered all my questions.

Savanna House, it was brand-new, and some of the rooms weren't even finished yet. I was beautiful and clean, but the rooms were quite small. It did not have home-like warmth and was more institutional.

Savanna House is a two-story square building with a garden in the middle. Upstairs they have balconies and downstairs they have patios. The apartments range from studios to 2-bedrooms, and they're priced competitively, so it's a good value for your money. The staff is very helpful. Some are really great and some are just OK. The place is only a year old, so everything is new and working fine. It's a good place. My parents haven't really taken part in any activities, but they have many.
Memory Care Reviews for Savanna House Assisted Living & Memory Care

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
Savanna House is a small facility with 16 residents per unit. They look at the residents as people beyond their diagnosis and they facilitate their life dreams and their choice of music and activities. If a resident comes in with a particular interest or hobby, they adapt their activities around their interest. It's very resident centered. I take my mom to church on Sundays and without any prompting from me, they switched her shower schedule to Saturday nights, so she would look better on Sundays when she goes to church. They were insightful to that need. The room she is in is an independent studio apartment. She has her own bathroom with a walk-in shower with no step or ledge and a handheld shower if needed. They provide all the meals in the dining room. It is large and set up like what you might have in your home. They serve meals on plates rather than an institutional way, and it's from a kitchen rather than a cafeteria. They have a courtyard, which is nicely landscaped, and accessible to the residents. It's a safe enclosed courtyard so they can leave and come back without wandering. They have a music room with a piano, an activity room where they play cards and do crafts, a lounge room where they have a TV, they have Wii, and there are outings to restaurants, movies, or drinks. It's a beautiful facility.
