My dad has been with Starling since it opened. He is truly living his best life! He is healthier and happier now than when he first moved in! The chef prepares an outstanding menu with great variety. The activities are plentiful with many exercise classes to choose from. Entertainment, outings, service to stores, churches, dr appointments etc., you name it Starling has it! My dad has made so many good friends there that he truly feels living at Starling Independent Living is “home”! The Staff goes above and beyond to make sure every resident’s experience exceeds their expectations.

Excellent experience with Nocatee Independent Living. My Mom is 92 and we moved her from Savannah into Nocatee Independent Living. Kerri Dufour, the Regional Sales Director made this an easy process. Kerri did a great job of keeping us informed throughout the process, answered all of our questions in detail and she is an excellent representative for her company. She is professional , exhibits a genuine positive attitude, has excellent communication skills and knows the business inside out.<br><br>We also had positive experiences with<br>-Charles - the Executive Director who was always available when needed and made the transition over to Assisted Living easy for my Mom.<br>- Ashley - the Resident Services Director who made us all feel welcome day 1. Always upbeat and positive.<br>- Jared - the Engagement Director who has endless energy and gets the residents involved.<br><br>Thanks for a great experience.

My mom moved to this facility January 2024. So far, it has been a wonderful experience from the friendly and attentive staff to the welcoming and friendly residents. I feel so much better that mom is independent and enjoying life with her peers. I highly recommend this residence.
