Savanna House Assisted Living & Memory Care would have been my number one choice for my mother. Cindy is the sales manager, and she was fantastic. It was well-kept, it's clean, it was modern. The people were very friendly. It was organized, and a really beautiful property. I didn't eat the food, but I saw it, and it looked great. They had a lot of stuff going on, even in the memory care. They had crafts, they had bingo. They had puzzles that not only were they actively working on, but when they got finished, they had them all framed on the walls in this room. It was cool with everybody who had worked on it, and they had mounted them on beautiful frames, so that became the artwork. They had a lot of outside areas, and beautiful sitting areas and gardens. They actually had gardens that people could plant, and work on, like a community garden type of thing, so it was well done. The safety aspects were really good. It didn't feel like a prison, didn't look like a prison, but you could tell they weren't gonna wander down on the street.

I thought Savanna House Assisted Living & Memory Care was extremely clean. They were good and were attentive. However, they didn't seem to be able to grasp what I was telling them and think of the best approach to help mom. In terms of the activities, there were different activity areas or gathering areas. There were a lot that were to choose from. They were nicely spread out. They were clean and well lit. They were capable of helping with people who have mobility problems. The rooms were really nice. They had a very comprehensive menu and very healthy food. There was a selection in case what was being served was not palatable to the resident.

My in-person tour 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. I like that one a lot. It was very nice and roomy. They had really nice areas where people could go, both outside and inside. The staff seemed very nice. It was open and it didn't seem institutionalized. It was more like a hotel, but it was nice like a nice hotel.

I did the tour, and it's actually one of the ones that I'm considering. The staff was great; they knew the names of the people there. We were able to see people engaging in activities, and it felt like they really cared about their tenants. The kitchen was closed because of COVID, so they did not offer food. They did give us a sample of some trail mix and it was really good; it was put together by their kitchen staff. The place is beautiful, it's clean, and the rooms are airy and bright.
