Wonderful people just need a bit more organization.
I'm 63 years old and still work full-time. I was the first "younger" person to move in. Since I arrived two months ago several more have moved in. Rivers Edge is very nice. The new owners took over in July of 2024 , I think, and invested a lot of money on refurbishing the entire place including the apartments. For a single working women like myself having all food, utilities and maintenance included in your monthly rent was just what I wanted. All of the staff have been professional and friendly. The other residents are amazing. They were so welcoming to me. I love talking to all of them on the weekend when I am around more. The management staff is working hard to put procedures in place to make everything runs smoothly. Oh and the food has been great (thanks Chef [name removed] and [name removed]). This is truly independent living, not assisted or memory care. If you want a nice, safe place in Savannah, GA I highly recommend Rivers Edge.

Clean facility and friendly staff
I chose River's Edge by Barclay House because l am not a driver; River's Edge offers transportation to appointments and outings within the community. It also provides three meals a day and weekly housekeeping. Residents are given a mobile device to wear at all times in case medical assistance is needed. This is an independent-living facility, and the staff do not handle medical issues; staff is available from 8:00 AM until 7:30 PM.

Increasing price
Rent is going up and no one can tell us how much; three managers in a year; no tv for 2 months; no cleaning for 2 months.
I cannot recommend River's Edge until they get a consistent management team in there.

River's Edge Review
My sister absolutely loves River's Edge but does not like the food. They need a real chef. She says the food makes her sick. The food can really make or break a place. I probably would not recommend them until they get a new chef.

Eye opening horrible and disappointing
Apt overpriced bate and switch prolonged construction agonizing bugs galore food not fit to eat but some improvements manager non ,existent had snake in my room another in hallway, its more a jail not allowed to keep rollators with us in dining many eat in rooms, fleas, roaches, flies in food, excuses high turnover staff and residents staff overworked underpaid not happy, it's supposed to be independent living but when you take your rollator away you take their independence people not happy but mgmt says take it or leave it, I expect many more to leave if possible cannot recommend hoping things change for the best

Hoping for staffing improvements!
My loved ones room rarely gets cleaned. They really need to have security at night. Unfortunately, they don't have enough staff and therefore many activities are canceled/nonexistent. Also, the dining room servers are very rude!

Very nice facility with a few drawbacks.
I would recommend the facility. We picked it because of a comparison of cost, services, and location. It worked out well. The biggest issue was with the staffing. There was a high turnover rate during this period, apparently due to internal problems, conflicts, etc, and many issues fell between the cracks. Dropped balls were common. All of the staff that we dealt with were great. It was the behind the scenes issues that were problematic.

My loved one is currently a resident at Holiday River's Edge and everything at this facility has been great for her so far. It's a very good facility and everyone there is very friendly. The care services, activities, meals and value for cost are great! I'm very happy with our choice and my loved one is happy, too. I would recommend Holiday River's Edge to others!

My loved one is currently a resident at Holiday River's Edge and the his experience at this facility has been overall good so far. The staff and the meals are very appreciated. The TV hookup has been difficult, but that is not the staff's fault. The provider is not the fastest. Overall, my loved one is very happy at Holiday River's Edge and I would recommend this facility to others.

Excellent Facility
I was invited by the Activities Director, [name removed], to play the piano for residents during the lunch hour a few years ago.
The piano is a Yamaha Clavinova. It is in superb condition. I've played for residents in a dozen similar facilities and can enthusiastically say the Rivers Edge piano is by far the best!
Unfortunately, the Rivers Edge residents were not pleased with me. Just goes to show they have exceptionally good musical taste!!

My tour of Holiday River's Edge
I toured this facility, it was an older facility. Staff was not reassuring of the quality of care we would be getting for the money. I believe it has a lot to do with that property is in ownership transition. The property is of poor quality. Would not recommend unless money played a big role in the family decision making.

Our tour at Holiday River's Edge was great. It was just not the place for my mom. They didn't have the personal outdoor space we felt was necessary for her. And it was also an older facility.

Understaffed
River's Edge is a great facility, they are just having some upper management staffing issues. The wait staff and the people who clean the rooms have been so kind and helpful. The facility itself is also very beautiful. They did just get bought out by someone and supposedly they have just hired a new executive director, so we are hoping to see some improvements. It really is a great place if they can getting the upper management figured out.

Community Tour
Our tour at River's Edge was awful. The smell hit you as soon as you walked in the door, just a vile, moldy, urine smell. The staff was not cordial at all. They were late and didn't have their paperwork together. They took me to see a nasty, roach-infested room that was already occupied by a resident. It was just awful.

A good community, could use a little improvements
At first our experience would of been 5 stars, however after moving our loved one in and after a few months have passed we are having some issues. They were very responsive in the beginning and very nice when you spoke with them in person, however right now it is hard to get a clear picture of what is going on. The communication at times is lacking and they have all these great ideas and promises but no follow through.

Excellent
I give them a good rating. The staff is very, very nice. I think it's a nice place for someone who needs to be in some type of retirement living. Just being around other people I think is good for my loved one. He enjoys the activities. The apartments are very nice. They have their own kitchen, so residents can cook in their own place if they want to. The cost is reasonable, especially with three meals a day provided.

Peace of mind
From the beginning all the way to the last day he was here, the staff were amazing. They had an aid who was able to come in and that really helped to ease our mind. He absolutely loved the food and the variety that they offered, he has a special and they were accommodating to that as well. They have a van that takes residents to and from doctors appointments which was a great asset for us since I live far away. He was not able to participate, but from what I saw they had a lot of activities provided for residents and they kept them busy and entertained. It is worth every penny knowing your loved ones are taken care of. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend to others looking.
