Nursing Home Communities in Savannah, GA

"This has been my home for many years. The staff treatment me like family and the food is good."

"I visited this nursing home many years ago with my mother. She actually worked there at the time and it was bring your child to work day. I really did not know what to expect, it being my first time at a nursing home, but when I got there it seemed like a quiet easy going environment. Walking around with my mother seeing each of the patients was really an eye opener. I didn't realize how unable some of the elderly are to do some of the things they needed, but each person working there took their time and with kind hearts helped them all. It is refreshing to see true good in the world and it is there at heritage park. "

"The Marshes of Skidaway Island have duplex houses and apartments. They have a menu each meal so the residents could select the food they want to eat. Their staff is very warm and friendly. "

"The people seem nice and very attentive at Westview. They provide a smoke break a couple of times a day. The facility isn't very new or very fancy but it appears to be clean. "

"My mother was placed in this facility because she couldn't stay by herself. The staff seemed very efficient and friendly. They were helpful and good with the patients. The food was pretty good and the cleanliness was as good as could be expected. Sometimes I'd smell urine when I walked into the building, but I didn't consider that a negative aspect. There was an incident after Christmas when my mother had some of her Christmas gifts in her closet. One of them was a new robe. Well, we couldn't find it when we went to look for it a couple of days later. My mother couldn't remember where it was. We looked everywhere and never found it. I guess we'll never know what happened to it. When my mother was extremely ill and close to death, the staff had put her in a special room with comforting decor and lighting. It was hard to see my mother in that state, and she didn't remember who I was, but the staff had done everything to make it as possible as possible.One more thing...one day a woman brought some miniature horses to visit and my mother was so amused and happy to see them. So was I! "

"Bryan County is a nice homey kind of place. The people were very friendly and caring. It seemed clean, and it is nice. The sanitation was good because they came in every day and cleaned. I liked the staff and would recommend it to other seniors. "

"I chose Oceanside for my brother because it would allow us more flexibility. I liked the accessibility for my daughters and I to go check up on him on a regular basis. I liked that it smelled good and the way they maintained the facility. The rooms were clean. The food was good. "

"It is clear some staff are caring individuals there for the greater good of caring for older adults. Administration, not so much. Leadership is lacking along with professionalism in certain departments. Therapy did a great job with my mother's needs to get back to independence and go home. "

"My mother-in-law was in NHC, so we spent a lot of time there. It’s wonderful. They couldn’t care more, followed through, and made sure that she always had something to do. They were very concerned about not only her mental state but also in allowing her to be comfortable and being with her. The quality of service, I’d say, was exemplary. Her room was very spacious. They did her laundry every day and made sure that she was up and about, so that she could go to dinner. They made sure that if she needed assistance that they would accompany her back to her room if she wanted to take a nap. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for her. She passed away on September 20 last year, but she was very happy in her final years living there, and they took very good care of her. The other good thing is that no one had a position any lower than a CNA as opposed to some other inexpensive nursing homes where you get what you pay for. NHC was expensive at $285 a day with three meals, but it was just wonderful care. "

"We moved dad into the memory unit of Sprenger Health Care Bluffton. The facility is new, I think about a year old, so it's relatively clean and well-appointed. There are three different levels of care, assisted living, nursing, and then memory care. Once my father was put in the nursing facility, it took about three or four weeks and we realized that was not the right unit for him. He was falling and I think the level of care was not what he needed. I was determined that he should be in the memory care unit, and he's getting good care there now. We're very happy. I feel like the nurses care about his well-being. I think especially right now with the pandemic, there's certainly a shortage of caregivers in facilities like this one. You can tell the people who care and the people who don't care as much when they're stressed with extra workloads and so forth. There's also a physical therapy unit with physical therapists and so forth. And I'm very happy with the care that my father received from those people. There's a doctor on staff and all in all, I think that he's receiving good care. I believe most of the rooms are approximately the same size. They all have a bed, their bathroom, with television, phone, and nice cabinets to store not only your clothes but other personal belongings. My father's room was nicely done. It had a nice paint job. The units are all approximately the same size, but they're appointed slightly differently, depending on whether you need assisted living, or nursing, or memory care. I know that there's another gentleman who's there for assisted living, and he has more of what you would kind of consider a residential look as opposed to my father who's in the memory care who has more of a kind of a clinical, even though there are the feng shui colors, and it's very warm and inviting. It's a little more of a hospital look. Some entertainers come on a scheduled basis. Some play musical instruments, and there's a schedule of events that comes out every day for residents there. I can't say that we've taken advantage of it. I think my dad is in a more advanced stage of the care that he needs, so he would not benefit from entertainment, but there is entertainment there. There's even a bar in the main reception area where you do feel like you are kind of socially active there. Snacks are served and even some drinks if you qualify to have a drink. Overall, it's a happy place, as happy as a nursing facility can be. In addition to the physical therapy type of care that keeps people active, some entertainment comes into the facility."

"My mother lived at The Seabrook in Hilton Head, and she loved it there. They had great activities, the staff was fantastic, and the food was phenomenal. The setting was nice, and the service was great. For activities, they had happy hour, games, cards, and parties. They had a swimming pool, exercise classes, and Bingo. They made it really fun. Their facility was beautiful, the landscaping was gorgeous, and the setting was very tropical and beautiful. The apartments were very nice, some of them you rent per month and some of them you purchase like a condo. My mother was renting and it was great. Her room was large and really nice."

"My friend was a patient for several weeks. The rating is based on what we experienced while there. The staff was professional, friendly, kind and compassionate. The DON was very helpful and consistently checked in on us. The facility is very clean; every day the housekeeping staff was cleaning/waxing floors and available 7 days a week! We didn't experience much food due to illness but the staff always offered her several choices as far as drinks, foods she could eat, etc. There were activities going on, chapel, movies, a coffee cart going to each room. Pleased with the services and care given."

"Preston Health Center is our number one pick right now. We have done some research and we've heard that Preston Health Center does its best in terms of ensuring that its staff spends a certain number of hours with patients every day -- those numbers are higher than those of other places. They were very helpful and the facility looked fine. The problem is that they don't have a lot of beds. We looked at the rooms and the common areas and everything looked nice, well-maintained, and clean. We didn't see anything wrong with it. We only met the person in charge of admissions and we were satisfied with her. "

"My mother's room was clean and the food looked great, but the most amazing part of Life Care was the skilled help of the occupational therapist and the physical therapist who helped my mom get so much stronger and back on her feet after, a CHF episode. The facility is across the street from the hospital which was comforting to my mother. She is now ready to return to her apartment thanks to the staff at Life Care. If she needs skilled care again, this would be my first choice and my mother is picky!"
