Community Reviews
Nice looking place
reviewed on: 04/22/2014 by D DWe toured this community when we were looking into care options for my loved one. This was a nice looking place! The staff all seemed very friendly, and the facility itself was well kept and clean. However this place was quite a bit more expensive than other similar options we saw in the area, and wasn't somewhere we were considering.
Not For Us
reviewed on: 01/10/2019 by RS HenleyThe staff at Savannah Grand seem competent enough. The sales department over promised and under delivered. They indicated they could care for my mother, who has moderate dementia and sundowners. That turned out not to be the case. Her room was dark and dreary, the painters had spattered paint on the new carpet and bathroom floor, and the toilet leaked around the base and was poorly caulked. The bathroom vanity needed replacing, also. There were not enough outlets in either room. The “activities director” had very few activities and what they did have was poorly attended by residents. I did advise staff there that I would give it 30 days to see if it would work. We took my mother home after only a few weeks. Not the proper placement. We wasted valuable resources. I should have gone with my gut, which told me this was not the place for my mother. RS Henley
Could be improved
reviewed on: 01/11/2016 by ResidentThe food that they serve could definitely be improved upon. The politeness and kindness of the caregivers could be improved too. It's not really much better than the place I moved from, although I will say that they have a lot more activities here.
Comfort for dad!!
reviewed on: 07/20/2017 by AnonymousMy father stayed at Savannah Court for a week on a respite stay. It was a very good experience, he has stayed in other places before but they stopped doing short term stays. This place was a bit more expensive but better than the other places. My father did mention that the meals were good and they had activities available. He likes to play cards and he found some residents to play with. overall, A good experience.
Nice place, overall
reviewed on: 09/01/2015 by AnonymousOverall I think they've done a very good job at Franciscan Woods. The staff here is very friendly, and they do a great job looking out for the residents. The place is lovely and they have a lot to provide in terms of amenities and care. My only complaint is I think they could have been a bit more thorough explaining the way their pricing works, the bill ended up higher than we were expecting.
