Savannah Grand was like coming home to a family that you didn’t know you had. I have enjoyed every moment and every interaction. The staff are caring and loving and the residents are involved in activities all day long. They are batting 1000.

My mother was a resident at Savannah Grand for 3 months from December through February of 2023. I had to move her out because they couldn’t provide the medical care that she needed. There is not a medical nurse on staff and this was a big problem since she is diabetic. The director stated that they could meet her needs but she didn’t follow through and made promises that she could take care of checking her blood sugar levels but I saw no record of this being done. When I had issues and needed to talk to someone I was unable to reach anyone, very poor communication. When I told the director we were moving my mother out we talked to the director and she said we were all paid up and check out. A month later I got a bill from them and when I tried to talk to someone about this bill no one ever returned my calls. Another month later I was served for a court appearance because of money they said I owed. I hired a lawyer and this case dragged and I decided to settle and pay half of the amount which I thought was very unfair to my mother. To add to this nightmare Savannah grand did not send invoices to her long term care insurance during the time she was there. I refused to pay anything until these invoices were sent in. I would not recommend this facility to anyone looking for care for their family.
