Assisted Living & Memory Care · Savannah, GA
Oaks at Savannah is an 89-bed senior living facility located at 7410 Skidaway Road in Savannah, Georgia. Operating since December 2021 under the administration of Debra Ben-Dor, the community offers independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care options. The property is situated in a vehicle-dependent area with a Walk Score of 21, meaning residents and visitors generally rely on transportation for off-site errands.
State regulatory data from the Georgia Department of Community Health shows that the facility averages 2.3 deficiencies per year, a rate 53% better than the state baseline for assisted living. While the community achieved a citations-per-inspection rate of zero during several audits in late 2025, inspections from earlier that year revealed physical plant and care assistance gaps. A July 2025 review cited fire safety violations involving an expired elevator inspection tag and a non-functional internal elevator emergency telephone, while an April 2025 audit substantiated a complaint that a resident was left un-groomed with body odor despite needing physical assistance.
Operational compliance has since stabilized, with five separate state investigations in mid-to-late 2025 concluding with no rule violations. Public records confirm that the property has not faced any formal administrative fines or license restrictions throughout its four-year operating history. The facility utilizing person-directed care models is intended to provide thorough daily support, though the historical records underscore the importance of maintaining oversight regarding basic hygiene routines and building maintenance protocols.
Prospective residents who wish to maintain an independent lifestyle with access to varying levels of support will find a community that performs better than state averages statistically. This setting is optimal for individuals whose representatives can actively verify that facility maintenance and daily grooming protocols are consistently executed.
