Savannah Court of Lake Wales was pretty nice. It is a little bit more regulated than the other place I toured, because they have people that are on 24-hours a day care. The people there are nice. The only downfall is that their rooms weren't going to be furnished, and it was a little small. It wasn't a good size for my mother. The staff member who gave the tour was OK, she knew everything. She was like the manager of the place, and their prices were reasonable. So, if my mother was going to go, she probably would have ended up at Savannah Court, because it was the most expensive one of the bunch, and she'd still have her freedom to do what she wanted and walk around. They have a lot of activities, an activity room, and movie theater. On certain days, they watch a certain movie, and they have bingo. They have a lanai with a patio furniture that you could sit on and have a view of all the trees and grass that you can look out on and get a fresh breeze.

It was a couple of years ago that I had a friend over at Savannah Court of Lake Wales, and it was kind of up and down. They still had the same chef, and he remembered me. They had a different administrator, and she made a pleasant impression on me. I liked her. I wouldn't have had any problems bringing my other friend over there.
They have mostly single rooms, and they had two that had a living room and a bedroom, so that was kind of extended. Then they had several rooms with two people together. They have a laundry facility and nursing staff. They had a very lovely director, but some of the staff looked fatigued. They needed to get out of there and get a different job for a while, but that was two years ago when I last visited there. I don't know about it now.
The food was always great. John was really terrific. He catered to the people, and I don't know how he did that. He remembered all the little quirks they had, and he's still there now. The facility may have needed some repairs. I noticed when I went back there that the front door got a lot of banging and so on, with the wheelchairs going in and out. That has to be re-done.

My mother went to Savannah Court of Lake Wales. We used just the daycare portion, but they were very good. It's clean, and the facility was pretty modern overall. We didn't have any issues there at all. As far as the 24-hour assistance, it was out of our price range. Overall, they were good, and the staff was very nice, friendly, attentive to my mom's needs and very helpful. I've actually sat and went to activities with her. As far as their living conditions, it was good. I didn't have any issues or concerns with them at all. They also would call if they had any questions or concerns.

I put my husband in SC in August 2013 and was told the facility could handle an Alzheimer patient. Nothing could be further from the truth. They lied and told me it was a lock down facility and it was NOT. He tried to leave on many occasions and without my knowledge, they hired a company to come watch him and keep him "company". They charged me another $1800 on top of the $3000 I was paying and it was all 'out of pocket'. The director kept telling me that after I applied for VA assistance and he got approved, VA would reimburse me back to the date I first applied. Well, needless to say, VA declined to pay and the man at the VA office in Bartow never told me he was ineligible. When I got the decline, I called Bartow and that man had retired..conveniently! Also, my husband could walk and weighed about 175 when he went into SC. My first visit to him was devastating...he could hardly walk and had lost about 30 lbs. I found out they were not feeding him and by this time, he had lost
the ability to feed himself properly. I took him out after 7 months and now take care of him at home with the help of Vitas Hospice. I make sure he is fed 3 full meals and lots of snacks during the day. I am horrified that a facility can lie to people and get away with it, like Savannah Court in Lake Wales. I have been recently advised that they have had 7-8 directors at the facility due to a very mean spirited regional manager who does not like to be confronted about the level of care and the treatment of the employees. Other persons have been taken out of SC and moved due to it not being a locked down facility and patients have gone out and fallen on the concrete and badly hurt. If you give this facility a good review, then you really haven't paid much attention to your loved one's care.

It was a much older facility, very nice and very well done, but they didn't have a pool, and they didn't have several of the services that the other place had. It was more of a storage place for old people. We had minimal contact with the staff. We walked in and looked around, and we were greeted and welcomed, but we didn't have a tour. Savannah Court of Lake Wales was an average place.

Both my mother and my father have been residents of Savannah Court. The staff of Savannah Court has always handled themselves in a professional caring manner. They frequently go out of their way to provide for the needs of the residents physically as well as emotionally. The facility is always clean and staff are always ready to help. Most importantly all of the staff members seem to really care about my parents.

Savannah Court Lake Wales has really changed for the better since I have been seeing patients there. The area executive Leigh, has done a wonderful job changing the culture there. She is always willing to help out any way she can and she genuinely cares about both residents and employees. Stephanie and Sherhonda are very hard working employees and really care for each resident. They are always willing to help me any time that I need them. Savannah Court Lake Wales is always very clean and has a culture and atmosphere that creates a feeling of home for its residents.

Very good care and attentive service at this facility for my dad who has dementia. Always willing to go to the extra mile. My dad has been a resident for over two years and we have not had any issues relating to the level of care.
