I wanted to take a minute to say what a wonderful facility this is. A dear friend of mine, Mrs. Shirley was a resident here and received excellent care from everyone. I want to especially thank the director, Haley, she was always friendly and helpful. It’s wonderful to see someone lead by example.

I've been here for a year and a half, and I've been comfortable. The staff works hard to keep residents comfortable and happy. The CNAs are knowledgeable and friendly and will cheer you on when you're struggling with therapy. T'Angela has been exceptionally good with me and my care. She really encourages me to reach a goal. They have made accommodations for my food requests and needs. Courtney is one of the dedicated office staffers who keep the place running. Cory and the various physical therapy staff are great to work with. I'm making progress.

Mom is taken such good care of at Harborview Satilla. Cory, Amy and Daryl are so encouraging to her. Their therapy and attention helps keep her strong and motivated to participate in activities and encourage other residents. Their patience and humor make her feel cared for and comfortable at her home away from home. Her excellent care helps us relax knowing she is satisfied and happy. Thankyou so much for caring for mom.

My Nanny(Winnie) is staying here and always gets amazing help for all the staff. Cory, Amy and Darrel take such good care of her, getting back up and going after knee surgery and they make sure she’s at all the fun events they do, they make sure her hearing aids and phone stay charged and even set and eat with her chat from time to time. I love knowing that my Nanny has people taking care of her that truly care!
