Savannah Grand of Amelia Island

My grandmother moved into Savannah Grand about six months ago and had a truly terrible experience. The food was lacking in nutritional value and consisted largely of canned soups and fried chicken or fish. The administrative staff informed my family that the meals would return to their previous, higher standards as soon as a new chef was hired; however, the meals continued to be subpar for weeks. Individual loads of laundry for each resident were advertised by Savannah Grand and included as a service in the $5,000 monthly rental fee my grandmother paid while living there. However, shortly after my grandmother moved out (after two months of living at Savannah Grand) I noticed her room number had been written in permanent sharpie marker on one of her pillow cases and on numerous clothing tags. This nearly brought me to tears, as clearly there would be no need for the laundry personnel to write her room number on her clothing and bedding if they were truly doing individual loads of laundry for each resident. It hurts my heart to think that the residents there are being falsely advertised to, and that, in cases such as my grandmother, reduced to being identified by their room number solely for the convenience of the staff members working there. Every resident there should be treated with respect and made to feel appreciated and valued, and that is not the kind of treatment I observed during the two months my grandmother lived there before we moved her to another assisted living facility.

Savannah Grand was excellent. The staff was great, and the cleanliness was perfect. The food and the service was perfect.

We went to Savannah Grand, and the room was very small. A twin bedroom requirement was all that’s going to fit in there. It was a size of a walk-in closet. Location wise, it would be the closest, and it’s one block from the beach. Their cost was significantly more than the other two places we went to.

I visited Savannah Grand. The staff was wonderful. We went through the different apartments and stuff which was small. You had a little kitchen area, a little sitting area, a bedroom and a bath. Some of them were just a bed and a little kitchen area or kind of like a motel, but each one was individual. You had your own porch. They do a lot of activities onsite with the seniors. It was a smaller facility. It was more of an assisted living place as opposed to the independent. The prices were much more reasonable, and I heard great things about it. The staff and everybody that worked there were doing wonderful. They had a whole board list of things to do with them. I loved being in a beach. It was beautiful area.
