Thrive on Skidaway sits at 5 Lake Street in Savannah, GA on Skidaway Island, a place known for its water views and golf courses, and the place really gives residents lots of ways to enjoy both their independence and a sense of belonging, so you walk in and see common areas that're easy to use, open, bright, and furnished for comfort, and you notice right away they keep things simple, from the inviting pub for social time to a cozy library sitting area and a café that welcomes both residents and visitors. There are multiple living options including Independent Living for active adults who want things like a modern kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertops, Assisted Living that helps with bathing, dressing, and medications while letting people stay as independent as possible, and Memory Care for those with dementia that uses individualized care plans, cognitive activities, and design features to reduce confusion and wandering. The staff, called NIDE certified team members, are around all the time and know how to help, and many become close to the residents, who are seen as individuals, not just numbers, and they really make an effort to build real friendships, which you can tell when you watch how folks and staff chat together in the coffee and library area or the barre studio where exercise happens.
Thrive on Skidaway has devotional services both onsite and offsite, an onsite beautician in a stylish salon with a rustic reclaimed wood wall, and a variety of spaces like a movie theater, a game area for activities like pickleball, and a stylish bar with a big TV where people can gather but also just relax if that's more their speed. You'll find floorplans that fit different lifestyles, covered entries with a porte-cochère, high-speed Wi-Fi, and handicap accessible features for those who need them, and there's always an emphasis on making things easy and enjoyable for the people who live there, whether they want quiet reading in the library or a social event in the dining room that's got chandeliers and wall art. For residents who need more support, Thrive on Skidaway offers nursing home services and Skilled Nursing for more complete care, and the Memory Care community is set up to keep folks safe and involved, with planned activities and therapies. Community is a big deal here, so there're educational programs, books, podcasts, senior resources, a healthcare referral directory, social worker appreciation luncheons, and even a media kit for those who want to connect further. You'll see a photo gallery online that shows the interiors, open outdoor spaces, and the light that comes through the big windows, making it a pretty cheerful place. All ages at or above 55 can find something that fits their stage of life, and as a continuing care retirement community, Thrive on Skidaway really lets folks settle down and keep living days that feel full, with enough help on hand for whatever comes along.
