The Oaks at Savannah

Polly

It was very nice and clean. They have lots of going on for you to participate in. The person who assisted me was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We saw the residents playing Bridge.

The Oaks at Savannah seems to be in a continual state of decline. Knowing that there have been 3 different owners in 3 years should have been indicative of this downward spiral. The facility was first known as Morningside of Savannah, then Marshview of Savannah, and currently The oaks at Savannah. There are no cameras installed on the perimeter of the facility and they only just installed front door chime alarms that indicates when someone enters or exits the front doors. Prior to this installation of the door chimes, my mother managed to walk out twice unnoticed and nearly made it to a busy nearby street. The last time she walked out, she fell and I had to take her to the emergency room. After these incidents, I had to move her into memory care in the same facility. If the door alarms or cameras had been installed previously, I would not have had to move her. The memory care unit is extremely depressing and understaffed. My mother is probably the most cognizant of alm the residents in the memory care unit. The most alarming thing happened today (12-27-21) in the memory care unit. Upon returning my mother from taking her to a 6 month physical with her doctor, I returned to find her room door closed and a male resident in her bathroom rooting around. I asked him to leave and he became “ very aggressive with both me and my mother. I reported the incident to the (understaffed)staff and they promised it wouldn’t happen again. Not 5 minutes elapsed and this resident known as John, entered my mother’s room again. Does this kind of care provide peace of mind for $36,000.00 a year ? Certainly not for me. I will be reporting this facility to the Georgia Dept of Human Services Aging Services shortly. I would not recommend anyone relocate a family member to The Oaks at Savannah.
