When we met with the director it sounded like a good fit for my mother-in-law, the whole sales…read morepitch was very convincing and impressive. But after 9 days of my mother-in-law being at the Commons we took her out!!! The staff are very inexperienced with the special needs that my mother-in-law requires, she has dementia and gastroparesis, which requires a very special diet. On the first day she was there they gave her foods she could not eat. The staff played on their phones every time I visited her in the short time of 9 days. They never welcomed her to make her feel at home and when we went to visit she would be crying and she would say take me home. Well with that being said we got her home to find bruises on her backside and bruised up and down her arms. Please, please before you put your loved one in a facility think twice. Left a bad taste in my mouth as we expected a bit more compassion for my mother-in-law. She is in her own home now with a live in nurse and security cameras and happy. So if you ask me how was her stay at Savannah Commons?? Awful!!!

They were horrible. I would visit my mom and sit in the room with her for 8-10 hours. Not 1 person…read morewould come and check on her, assist her, nothing. They said they assisted her with showers, but she would be in the same clothes as the day before and no towels moved? I would call the administrator or text him. Never received anything back. We finally got cameras in her room (the administrator was aware and a sign was outside her door) , would see aides sitting on her walker and her couch. Eating her ice cream. Not assisting my mother in her kitchen. Wouldn't even bring her walker to her (mom was prone to fall, and needed it) because they would be sitting on it. Every time my mom would go to the hospital, she would come back and have her meds all screwed up. One time I brought mom home from the hospital, they said they cleaned, but I found at least 20 straight pins on her bathroom floor. Another time she was in the hospital for over a month, her laundry , room .. nothing was touched . But they are supposed to be cleaning every week? Or at least check the laundry so her dirty clothes weren't sitting there for over a month? Other times we would see them not check on mom til 1 or 2 in the afternoon to make sure she was ok. So she wasn't offered breakfast or lunch. Mom was under 90lbs. I can go on and on about the facility. They had my moms health decline so fast she died less that a year after moving in. For as much as we paid , we expected more. We hired outside sources to help . The aid that walked off the job, they hired to work there?? We would have taken mom in, but her medical needs were more than we could do. And moms kids are spread between Georgia, California and Ohio. Also, we discovered that moms "call for help" button didn't work that she wore around her neck. Their solution? Gave her a whistle. A day later she had fallen , hit her head and was laying in a pool of blood, trying to blow this whistle for help, but the blood kept making it slip out of her hands and she was too weak to blow it loud enough

She listened to the concerns and the needs of my Special Needs brother, then assured me that someone would call me back. I received a call back within 15 minutes from Jordan Dagley. Jordan spoke in length with me over the phone, and offered to come to the hospital where my brother was still a patient, and met with my mom and I for almost 2 hours! We were definitely NOT an inconvenience to him. He made sure we understood everything before we signed any paperwork, and answered more questions than he bargained for, I'm sure.

She never asked if he had a co-signer. She asked about his income. She then said she had someone signing a lease sitting in front of her could she have someone named Kim call me back because she's new. I got no calls back. This was 4 days ago. The LEAST they could have done was call back and advise what his credit needed to be OR ask of someone was willing to cosign; ANYTHING to try to help (referral, advice, more questions etc). We were only inquiring. My father is a Vietnam war vet and a retiree of the Long Island Railroad (30 years). Clearly these people want good credit only. No call back so now I'm left to assume they were being selective. I'd rather move him back North where I got calls back and kinder treatment.
