Sunabella at Savannah

My mom is living in Insignia of Savannah, and it's very good. Her room is very clean, and everything's wonderful. They play games and do puzzles. The food is great, and I have no problems with it whatsoever. There's a screened-in porch and a patio.

So far, Insignia of Savannah is really good. They’ve helped my mom a lot, and they’re really good with her. They seem to have the experienced personnel to deal with memory care patients. My mother has one of the smaller rooms, but it’s big enough for her. They clean it everyday. Even the cleaning staff will stop and help the residents when they need it. They’re just really good people. Their front porch is really nice, however, the patients aren’t allowed out there unless the family member comes and takes them out. It’s in a good location. The parking is real small for visitors, but I’ve never been there that I couldn’t find a place to park. The outside looks really nice. The only thing I could say is it would be nice if the patients had an area to go outside. I like it because it’s one flat rate for everybody, and not based on levels of care needed. It’s a flat $4300, and it includes cable TV in the room. The thing that is really important to me is that they have on-staff nursing, and they have a doctor that goes to the nursing home. That’s been a tremendous help to me with my mother because when I take her out, she gets very disoriented and very agitated. They have somebody out there with them, talking to them, and hugging them. They have people that come in and play the piano; a lady comes in, plays the violin, and sings for them and gets some to play games. Every time I’ve gone there -- and I go at different times -- there is always something going in the common room for the patients. I just get good vibes from there. A lady thought that one worker was her daughter so she called her “mother” and hugged her and talked to her. They go along and help the patients. I thought that this was the place for my mom.

I visited Insignia of Savannah. I thought the staff was very good. The facility itself was very clean, but to me it was somewhat depressing. Sometimes it had to do with the residents because they were not high functioning. It had a different feeling if they were high functioning or not high functioning.

Caring, compassionate care for those suffering with Memory Loss. The staff is exceptional and truly do care for their residents. I've researched all around the Savannah area and would not choose any other place for my mom!

My dad was placed in this facility last year. Upon arrival he was in moderate -good condition. The facility was clean, well-run, residents well cared for and the food was nutritious and plentiful. After he was there six months, the director left. The new management is inexperienced and hard to get in contact with. He lost an extraordinary amount of weight. His room was filthy, and often times he was unkempt. Plenty of times I arrived to visit with no staff in sight and residents needing to toilet. When questioned, I was often told it was an "off" day. I also asked about the extreme weight loss and heard every excuse from "it's just the disease" to "he's walking it off" (highly unlikely). Every time I visited him, he was seated at a table (usually alone) in the dining hall with no interaction or stimulation. I truly believe the kept him continually drugged so he would be less to deal with .....and he wasn't the only one. I saw several residents I believe were basically being "warehoused" for lack of a better word. I watched my dads condition plummet. It wasn't until I saw that his main meal consisted of less than what a 10 yr summer camp child would eat, that I realized why he had such a great weight loss as well as the other residents. When I proceeded to move him to another (better) facility, I was met with hostility from the staff, including a lack of cooperation in obtaining his personal records, and a proper and agreeable termination of his contract. After I did get him moved a resident "eloped" (obviously because there's not enough staff to pay attention to them and make sure doors are locked) and was found in the marsh behind the facility hours later by the police department. Luckily they found him in time. It was no surprise to me and all I could think was that could've been my dad. I would certainly search other facilities in the area before I would settle for this one.

My husband was at Savannah Cottages for ten months and I was very happy with the community and its caregivers. I became a part of the family, because I spent so much time there, was even volunteer of the year. Even though I brought my husband home to care for him, I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I visited this facility and noticed how beautiful the outdoor setting was. There was ample parking for staff and visitors. When I walked into the facility I noticed how friendly the staff were. I was given a tour and noticed the facility offers private and semi private rooms. Each room has ample space with their own bath. There is a large library, many activities offered and Savannah Cottage offers transportation to any resident that would like to be driven shopping, to their doctor's appointments, etc. There is a large dinning room and the facility offers 3 meals. There are walkways outside for residents and visitors to stroll around and enjoy the fresh air and Savannah Cottage is pet friendly.

I visited Savannah Cottages. In general I thought that Savannah Cottages was a great place. The grounds of the facility are well manicured. The common areas of the facility are nice; it gives you a feeling of home. During holidays the facility is decorated very festive. The residents' rooms are kept cleaned and odor free. The residents are always encouraged to bring items that will add a personal touch to their rooms. The staff and management of the facility are great. I am especially impressed with the Activities Director. She makes sure that she engages with the residence. She is very creative when it comes to activities. I think the residents get great care there. While I was there, I noticed that the residence was clean and they seemed very comfortable in their surroundings. I would recommend it to family members that is looking for a comfortable and home like environment to place their love one.
