Summer Breeze

Do not send your loved one to the memory care unit here if s/he needs any real care. They are not equipped or experienced enough to deal with challenging patients

The care from the staff while my mother was there was awesome. Everybody is so kind. Its very clean, the meals were delicious, and the activities were great, trips to Tybee, music, and arts and crafts kept her busy! The staff genuinely care about their residents.

Summer Breeze community and staff are a godsend to our family. In the winter of 2022 we moved my mother to the Summer Breeze community after two years of Covid isolation. Living alone in Atlanta, mini strokes and mandated cessation of all interaction (church, social & volunteer) had taken a real toll on her quality of life. The past six months have made all the difference. The facility, staff and residents are all very engaging and encouraging. They made a dreaded transition incredibly smooth. The community is roomy, spotless, bright and light, with the coastal vibe that is Wilmington Island. It sits in a lovely neighborhood, next to Savannah Country Club, not concrete sprawl. Mom loves the front porch with rockers. The management of medications and a diet of three great meals a day has brought my mothers strength back. (My mother recently told a waiter at the 1790 Restaurant downtown, I get to eat like this every day.) Engaging twice a week therapy and monthly nail and hair appointments are a definite plus. There is regular dialogue regarding prescriptions and health issues. Choosing to be active in moms life, we have found communication with management, household and healthcare staff to be timely and on point. My mother takes advantage of the many activities and travel opportunities offered to residence. She still talks about seeing the Savannah Bannanas at Grayson Stadium, which is one of the hottest tickets in Savannah. We have also appreciated the fact that the leadership at Summer Breeze are folks with roots in Savannah. Many of the residents come from families, businesses and faith communities that are integral to the city of Savannah. This is real community. The best part is, Summer Breeze has given my mother the safety, support and strength to get back out into the world, doing the things she has always wanted to do. So, at the 6 month mark, we want to publicly thank the incredible team at Summer Breeze.

Worst place ever. I couldn't wait to get out of there. And they couldn't wait to get rid of me! Three weeks before my lease was up, they removed my personal belongings with no notice. I was a prisoner because of COVID, although I was in Independent Living and had no interaction with higher level inmates. I was not allowed to go to the library or to the store to get coffee (which was not provided with breakfast. Really?) or to pick out my own sympathy card for a friend. No discussion - just not allowed. When I was fed up with the restrictions, I occasionally went out. I wasn't sick and I wasn't dead, and with precautions, there was no reason for me not to. And I was punished by having housekeeping and maintenance withheld. I paid for those amenities in my rent, but was not given any refund for the five months I did not have them. Apparently the dangerous behavior I exhibited was not enough for them to allow me to move my belongings on my schedule, but they had people come in and risk my germs to move me out and store those belongings in the common areas which may or may not have been safe. I don't know if their movers were as conscientious as I was with all the COVID mandates because I don't know who touched all my things. Be careful before you sign up, because once they get your money, they will not work with you. A horrible learning experience for me, but I did learn. Don't trust them.
