Overview of The Oaks at Savannah

Nine years into operation, The Oaks at Savannah runs an 89-bed assisted living and memory care community on Savannah’s Skidaway Road. The neighborhood scores 58 on the Walk Score index, moderately walkable, so residents and visiting family can knock out some errands on foot without needing a car for everything.

Delano Goff administers the community. Pets are allowed, which matters more than it might sound: for a lot of families, finding a place that won’t force them to give up a dog or cat is a real factor in the decision, not a minor one.

What this adds up to is a mid-sized, established community, nearly a decade old, offering both assisted living and memory care under one roof in a walkable pocket of Savannah. For a family that wants size, location, and longevity as a starting point, and plans to fill in the rest with a direct conversation or a tour, The Oaks at Savannah gives them a real place to start.
