Savannah Court of Camilla sits quietly in historic Mitchell County, surrounded by oak trees and southern breezes, offering a homelike setting on several landscaped acres. The community serves seniors needing assisted living, memory care, personal care, independent villa living, respite, and day services, all with hospitality at the core-team members call their approach "ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen." There's a smaller, secure memory care neighborhood called The Cottage, focusing on dignity and comfort for people living with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, where specially trained staff use individualized care and therapies to keep everyone safe and engaged.
The building has just one floor and 30 personal care and memory care units, along with 20 separate villa residences for independent seniors who want maintenance-free, active living. There are outdoor gathering spots like gardens and picnic areas, a swimming pool and hot tub for both relaxation and aqua therapy, and large covered porches to enjoy the fresh air. Wide windows in common spaces show off pretty views of the grounds, making the inside feel open and welcoming. Indoors, the elegant décor, local art, and comfortable furniture try to make it feel as much like home as possible, and entertainment venues with cable and satellite TV offer spots for people to meet up.
Chef-prepared meals get served restaurant-style three times a day, with menus crafted by dietitians to support good health, including low salt and diabetic-friendly options. Residents can have guests join meals, and there are always snacks. Staff handles housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and maintenance, and there's help with scheduling doctor's visits, pharmacy needs, and medication reminders. There's a licensed nurse on staff part-time, and 24-hour trained staff ready for any needs or emergencies, plus a modern response system in every room for safety.
Savannah Court offers wheelchair-accessible showers, pet-friendly rooms, and cottages with kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable/satellite TV, and all the usual comforts. There's parking for residents, scheduled transportation for outings or appointments, and shopping trips. Social activities fill the calendar-there are exercise classes, arts and crafts, music, games, trips into town, devotional services, and gardening programs, all to encourage friendships and keep folks busy and connected. Special activity awards recognize these efforts, showing a focus on staying active in body and mind.
For those who need more help, the community offers individualized care plans that fit each resident's abilities and needs, including bathing, dressing, medication management, and special therapies like physical and occupational rehab. They support aging in place, so residents can stay through changing needs, and hospice care when needed. Short-term stays or adult day services are available for people needing brief support and for their family caregivers to get some rest.
Savannah Court of Camilla operates under Senior Living Management Corporation, which has over 20 years of experience in senior care. The environment is known for its friendliness and helpful staff-many of whom have worked here for years-and a calm, elegant atmosphere where everyone tries to keep life as joyful, meaningful, and simple as possible. Month-to-month leases make moving in flexible, and the community supports veterans with VA aid. The whole place focuses on comfort and dignity, allowing older adults to live life as fully as possible in a setting that's peaceful, secure, and straightforward.
