Overview of Buckingham South (2)
Buckingham South is a 92-bed assisted living facility located at 5450 Abercorn Street in Savannah, Georgia. Administered by Shlomo Slatus, with leadership from Rita Slatus, the community has an extensive record of local service, offering accommodations including personal care, memory support, and partner-coordinated hospice and respite care. The property is situated in an area with a Walk Score of 6, meaning off-site errands generally require a vehicle, and it holds an unaccredited A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Public oversight archives from the Georgia Department of Community Health reveal an unusual administrative timeline, showing only two state reports on file, both logged on July 7, 2022. Although directory databases reflect a baseline citations-per-inspection rate of zero for those 2022 records, no modern routine surveys or complaint audits are accessible in the state directory. This long-standing documentation gap leaves the last four years of compliance history unmapped in public data summaries.
Daily care management is executed by a 24-hour on-site clinical team consisting of licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants who manage medication passes and complex activities of daily living. Because of its advanced service tracking, the facility is permitted to coordinate advanced nursing care, specialized memory pathways, and temporary respite stays directly within its apartment layouts. Floor plans range from compact studios to larger two-bedroom apartments with independent temperature controls.
The physical plant features a beauty salon, a barber shop, an exercise room, and dedicated indoor therapy spaces. Meals are prepared daily by the culinary department, with kosher and modified options, while the activities division hosts daily music, arts, and social gatherings. Although the property possesses extensive experience with nearly three decades of senior housing operation, the absence of recent state tracking reports means families must independently request verification of ongoing performance.
Interested individuals assessing this long-running personal care community are advised to contact the administration directly for recent corporate safety records and unlisted state evaluations. This environment is best suited for seniors whose representatives can comfortably audit care protocols and manage communications with the management team.
