Oaks at Savannah sits quietly at 7410 Skidaway Road, not far from Memorial Health University Medical Center, tucked among old oak trees and salt marshes beside the Isle of Hope Historic District, and the place has a certain grace that brings to mind the charm of Old Savannah, with 75 apartments meant for assisted living and Alzheimer's care, and folks there can choose between independent living, assisted living, and memory care services, each shaped by a person-directed approach that listens closely to every resident's own life story and needs. Community events keep everyone busy, with exercise, outings, singing groups, and regular visits from local schools, and there's a big effort to keep things feeling like home-open spaces, pet-friendly rules, Wi-Fi, and fully secured neighborhoods that let residents stay safe but still move about freely, and you see pet therapy programs bringing animals around to fight loneliness, what with animal companions known to lift everyone's mood now and then. Oaks at Savannah's staff, called care partners, stick around so residents get to know them well, and they put effort into building real trust between caregivers and the folks who live there, whether it's help with daily tasks, memory support, or a short respite stay so that family caregivers can get a break. Meals can be enjoyed any time of day to promote friendships and comfort, and activities and programs keep people learning and growing, no matter their age or challenges. The place emphasizes respect for each person's wishes and encourages connections-between residents, staff, and visitors. Since 2010, Oaks at Savannah has offered a retirement experience that's social, active, and full of small, personal touches that matter most to those who call it home.
Beautiful facility, but safety concerns
I toured and liked the beautiful, clean rooms, active calendar, and many kind, engaged staff - the dining, activities, and layout felt welcoming. But I also saw worrying signs: high staff turnover, inconsistent care, safety and maintenance issues (falls/dehydration risk, shaky railings, uncovered outlets), and poor admin communication with hidden fees and billing disputes. Some aides were excellent; others seemed poorly trained or neglectful, especially in memory care. I liked the facility but would be cautious - resolve the staffing, safety, and billing problems before I'd trust a vulnerable loved one there.
