Sunabella at Savannah

I would definitely recommend the place to anyone...my dad's experience at Sunabella was very good..he had his rough days when not feeling well but overall was very good.
Harbor Cove Memory Care in Hilton Head Island, SC
4.3
We moved him from NHC in Bluffton to Harbor Cove. The staff at Harbor Cove was very caring, which we did not experience at NHC. I wish we'd moved him to Harbor Cove earlier. It is a smaller place, but staff was fantastic with him.
The Social at Savannah
3.7
We cannot rate the care services because we are in the independent living center. What we like the most about The Social at Savannah is the management and the people as a whole.
