Assisted Living Communities in Savannah, GA

"Legacy at Savannah Quarters was very modern, and very well maintained, and the staff there was excellent. We spoke with some of the residents and they all seemed to be very happy with the facility. Of the places that I viewed, that would have been the one that I would have chosen if I had to choose. They had a monthly calendar for the residents and it was a good calendar with activities and a menu for the food that they were going to have daily. They had quite a few extra options for food than some of the other places did. In other words, if they had something for dinner and you didn't like it, there were other options that you could have, like maybe a tuna fish sandwich or something different. Most of the other places just had a pretty set menu."

"My mother-in-law is going to be in Oaks at Pooler. We chose it because of its facilities and awesome activities. The staff is also pleasant, the facility is very nice, and the cleanliness is excellent. It's a beautiful place and everyone seemed very nice. I like their apartments too."

"My grandfather has lived at this facility for a little over 3 years now. After my grandmother's death I was hesitant to put him into a new living environment, but the staff and residents were more than accommodating. The quality of care is apparent at the front door, where there is always a friendly, familiar face. There have been some occasions where I have been concerned with the immediate welfare of my grandfather, as he suffers from dementia. All such concerns were addressed in an immediate fashion after a simple phone call. Additionally, I always appreciate the effort on part of the staff to keep my grandfather socially engaged, and in high spirits. He participates regularly in group outings, a well as a variety of clubs and activities provided on-site. Anytime he leaves the facility with a guardian, he is required to sign in, and out again. This gives me a sense of security which to me is invaluable. The facility could use some updates here and there, as utilities and ammenities do age, and become obsolete. Aside from this minor issue, I give this facility very high marks. I have full plans to keep my grandfather at Magnolia Manor for his remaining years, and I believe he is happy with this decision as well. "

"We're in the process of moving my mother in. She's going to get a slightly smaller room than what she has in her independent apartment. It's a very new facility, and we chose it because it's all on one floor with nice rooms. The activities are more limited because it's smaller and doesn't have as much open space within it. The clientele are much more physically limited because it's assisted living. They have chair yoga, exercise groups, and card playing groups. The food was OK."

"Vineyard Bluffton is at the top of my list right now. It's a 5 all the way around. We met some of the residents there. The food appeared to be excellent, well prepared, and I would certainly eat there if I had to any time. We viewed several apartments, and they're excellent. They're exactly what we would be looking for to settle on. They had everything from pickleball to arts and crafts and physical therapy. I can't even name them all. They're well rounded and something that seniors would appreciate. We went to three courtyards. They're very open. There's a lot of greenery with little lagoons and little pools. It was just very impressive."

"My mother is currently a resident of The Palmettos of Bluffton. The food is very good, they have activities although my mom hasn't joined in a lot yet. They play bingo for quarters, have happy hour every day and there's usually somebody singing or doing something. They have a bus that takes the residents on little trips, and they also have crafts. The staff seems to be very good. Like in other places, there's always an issue, but it gets resolved. The dining area is very good and they have a menu that you can choose from. You have to go to the dining room to eat unless you're sick. You can put what you want in the apartment, like your own furniture. I visited several senior communities, but this was the one we're comfortable with."

"I like the spaciousness of Canterfield of Bluffton, the room sizes, and the facilities overall. It's not a hundred percent, but it's pretty close. The staff is very knowledgeable. We saw multiple rooms, one-bedroom, two-bedrooms, and then there are apartments. The rooms were adequate, the two-bedrooms were larger with some options, the suites are perfect, but you don't get the home care; it's not included. When it comes to activities, they have everything from playing cards, music, arts and crafts, and they take them on tours."

"They can know that the VC is always clean. The rooms are always cleaned. The meals are always good. The staff is on top of everything & very friendly. Quick to respond to any questions. They try to get the residents to participate in the activities, so nobody is left out. I feel better comfortable with my family member living here."

"I liked Buckingham South very much, and it's my first choice here in Savannah. They're very accommodating, and the rooms and apartments were nice, but the facility needs to be freshened up since it was a little outdated and shabby. I think the care was very good and I liked the staff, but the food wasn't very good."

"The place is spotless! The staff are friendly and caring. They are responsive to a residents needs. They plan special meals for Holidays. They invite speakers to talk about Medicare, Medicaid, insurance and other subjects. The grounds are beautiful. I don't live there but would be happy to live there if the need arises. "

"I came across here and I called, they say they do a week at a time for respite. It was clean and they only specialize in dementia and Alzheimer's. They said that mom would have her own bedroom, and her own bathroom and I like that. They didn't have a lot of patients. The facility is kind of small and they said they only get up to about 40 or 50 residents. The mall is close to it."

"I toured The Social at Savannah. It was a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted by staff that were very personable. The tour guide was magnificent. She wanted to know what my needs were and what my expectations were. They shared family experiences. I got a very good understanding of who would be helping me or assisting me. I loved the premises. The premises were clean. I had a wonderful experience with the staff. The facility didn't have a chemical smell that the others I visited had. The smell that I got from the other facilities was the biggest turnoff for me. It didn't have that chemical ammonia kind of trying to hide that diaper smell. It was just clean and normal and the clean smell of the facility was the best thing for me. I can't say enough good things about the staff or the facility. It's a beautiful facility and most of it is renovated now. The maintenance was perfect. Everything was clean. All the carpeted areas were great. The insides of the apartments were clean, the bathroom areas and the kitchen areas. Everything was excellent. I looked at the menus, but I didn't try the food."

"I visited Spanish Oaks. The rooms were fine. Everything was fine, clean, and in place. I liked it. I would recommend it to others if they had a person in the family with dementia. "

"We've only lived here for about 8 months, but our lives are already measurably better! Because of the wonderful programs and outings here, we have gone to more concerts, on more "road trips" and enjoyed life in downtown Savannah more in those 8 months than we did in the past 5 years at The Landings! Everything is easier here, and with someone else driving, and picking us up, we are now free to do the things we've missed."
