Overview of Marsh’s Edge

Facebook LinkedIn

Marsh’s Edge offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Saint Simons Island, GA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, while nursing home and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. The range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

Marsh’s Edge has 32 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know one another. Housing options include Cottage Homes and Villa Apartments. Cottage Home pricing runs from the mid-$400,000s to more than $1 million, while Villa Apartment pricing begins in the low $300,000s, so the housing type and selected unit can materially affect the amount a family plans to pay. Payment options are Medicare and private pay. Medicare can help cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay uses personal funds.

Total nurse staffing is 11 hours and 2 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse staffing time allocated per resident. Residents can use the pool, dine in the fine dining setting, and receive rehabilitation services on site. Short term rehab supports recovery during a temporary stay, while respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Pets are allowed.

A Walk Score of 67 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some nearby errands independently. Mr. CHRIS MURRAY is the administrator, and Dustyn Sloan is the director.

+532% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
2h 20m
+150% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
