Overview of Savannah Square

Savannah Square provides assisted living and independent living in Savannah, GA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident maintains a private living space, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. With both care levels available, Savannah Square may suit a resident whose care needs could grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 46 beds, making it a smaller setting where residents and staff may get to know one another. Housing includes one-bedroom and two-bedroom options, with the two-bedroom layout able to suit a couple moving together. Pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet when moving in. Kimberly Smith serves as the administrator, and the single-story building keeps all residences on one level.

A Walk Score of 33 places Savannah Square in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. Residents who no longer drive will generally need transportation for shopping, appointments and other errands.

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.
