Overview of Harmony at Savannah

Savannah families weighing senior care options will find Harmony at Savannah covers a lot of ground at once. It offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care in the same community, which means a couple with different needs, or someone whose needs shift down the road, doesn’t have to start over somewhere new. The address is 9136 Old Montgomery Rd, and the place has been open five years now, with 120 beds giving it real size without feeling like a mega-facility.

Here’s something worth knowing before you plan a visit: the Walk Score here is a 3 out of 100. That’s car-dependent territory. If you’re picturing strolls to a coffee shop or grabbing lunch on foot, that’s not really the setup.

On care itself, there’s rehab services, respite care, nursing services, and staff around the clock. Short-term stays are also an option, which is honestly a good move if you’re not ready to commit long-term, maybe recovering from surgery, maybe just testing the waters. Memory Care being built into the same community means a resident whose needs change doesn’t have to pack up and move across town.

The amenities lean toward the social side of things: movie theater, bistro, library, game room, and grounds with an actual walking path (a nice irony given the Walk Score situation outside the gates). Pets are allowed too, so residents don’t have to say goodbye to a dog or cat as the price of moving in.

Stacey Broadnax runs the place administratively, so that’s your point of contact if you want specifics on care planning or admissions.

Georgia’s Department of Community Health inspects communities like this one, and the themes that come up here center on documentation and care planning practices, plus attention to fall and injury prevention.

Overview of Heritage Oaks Retirement Living

Heritage Oaks Retirement Living is a 34-bed senior community located at 300 Heritage Drive on St. Simons Island, Georgia. Operating since March 2025 under the administration of Myra Braswell, the facility provides multi-level services including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite care for adults aged 55 and older. The property features a central neighborhood location with a Walk Score of 67, allowing pedestrian access to some local amenities.

Oversight tracking from the Georgia Department of Community Health outlines a stable initial entry punctuated by a single serious safety and administrative infraction during its first year of operation. A state investigation substantiated that on July 3, 2025, a resident suffered a fractured femur during an unwitnessed fall, and the facility failed to detect the injury or report the serious incident to the state within the mandatory timeframe. A subsequent complaint audit on August 4, 2025, resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, indicating that the administration implemented required corrective measures to address the reporting failure.

Clinical operations are maintained by 24-hour on-site personnel, including licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants who manage rehabilitation therapies and memory care programs. Environmental safety features encompass secure entrance gates and emergency response systems inside the apartments. The single-story layout incorporates standard amenities such as a media room, beauty salon, and central dining options.

Daily residential services provide three meals tailored to basic dietary preferences, building maintenance, and a regular calendar of fitness sessions and social outings. While the community has a brief operational history free of formal state fines or license restrictions, the initial fall-reporting delay emphasizes the importance of independent family tracking.

Prospective residents interested in a small-scale, newer island property should discuss current injury monitoring and emergency communication logs with the management team. This setting is appropriate for individuals who maintain a relatively active lifestyle and whose sponsors can regularly check compliance records

Overview of Big Springs Place

Big Springs Place offers assisted living and memory care in Cedartown, GA.

The two care levels may make Big Springs Place a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 50 beds. Its rehabilitation services give residents access to therapy as part of the care available through the community, and a doctor on staff provides physician care on site.

Community outings, a social and recreational program, a wellness program, lounges and an activity room give residents places to participate in activities and spend time outside their apartments. A Walk Score of 69 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain nearby destinations independently.

Ms Angie Ashmore serves as the administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Georgia

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Georgia?

Assisted living in Georgia supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover memory care?

Georgia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Georgia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 413 memory care communities in Georgia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Georgia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Georgia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Georgia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
