Overall Review of Riverview Health & Rehab Center - Savannah

common 35 reviews mention this

Staff attention is a mixed picture

Residents and families describe staff as both attentive and, at times, neglectful.

Many reviewers say staff were professional, friendly, and responsive, with particular praise for specific nurses, aides, and social workers. Others report the opposite, describing missed needs, delays in getting help or medication, and situations where residents were left in poor conditions. Several accounts also mention communication challenges, including difficulty getting calls answered or reaching staff when concerns were raised. Overall, the reviews point to inconsistent experiences with day-to-day attention.

differentiator 9 reviews mention this

Rehab and therapy support

Rehabilitation care is a key focus in the reviews, with therapy and wound care often singled out.

A number of residents and families describe strong rehab support, mentioning physical, occupational, and speech therapy working sessions and progress during recovery. Wound care receives repeated praise, including examples where surgeons commented on how wounds were being treated. There are also complaints that some residents weren’t pushed as far as families expected with mobility and daily tasks, and that care did not consistently meet needs. Taken together, the reviews show rehab support as a major strength for some families and a concern for others.

common 8 reviews mention this

Meals draw both praise and complaints

Dining quality comes up often, with both positive and negative feedback on meals.

Several reviewers say the food was surprisingly good for this type of facility, and one describes enjoying lunch. Others mention diet-related support and say soft foods were enjoyed. On the negative side, multiple reviews describe poor or cold food, residents not being fed or given water, and meal issues that families felt were handled incorrectly. The dining feedback aligns with an emphasis on diet accommodations, but satisfaction varies widely across reviews.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

COVID safety is disputed

COVID-related experiences are mixed in the reviews.

Some reviewers say the facility kept COVID cases to a minimum and prioritized residents’ safety during the pandemic period. Others describe concerns about transparency and control of exposures, including claims about residents being positive or not being communicated to family members. One review also frames COVID as a complicating factor for staffing and operations, without fully resolving the concern. The result is a polarized set of COVID safety experiences.
