Assisted Living Communities in Savannah, GA

"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."

"We're going with the folks here and pretty close to getting my mother in probably within the next week or two. We liked their events, and what they're able to provide for the tenants there as far as different events and community bingo. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They have a microwave and a refrigerator. They have a screened-in porch area."

"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. "

"My wife will move into The Oaks at Savannah. I like the layout. They were all friendly. The people that lived there did reach out as we were walking around and talked to us and greeted us. They introduced themselves. It just seemed more of a happier place. It's a one-bedroom apartment. So when you walk in, you're in like a living room or whatever you want to call it. They have chairs set up with the TV. They have a refrigerator in the corner. You have the bed, the walk-in bathroom, the shower you could roll in your wheelchair if you needed to, and they had a closet, and for what we needed it was perfect."

"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. "

"About 3 yrs, ago, a friend & I, both residents of The Marshes ,headed an overhaul & expansion of our art gallery. Because of the enthusiastic support we received from the Marshes, we were able to mount a stunning show of Asian Art, with works lent by our residents & celebrated with a fabulous Gala Opening! Amidst all the compliments we were receiving at the Gala, one voice called out " I'm glad I live at a place that supports projects like this"."
