Review for River's Edge by Barclay House

I enjoy the peace and quiet as I'm on my balcony, so happy to not have to cook and the food is quite good. It's clean and they're responsive to any need I've had. Staff is very pleasant and the people are friendly. I left a 3000 square-foot house and I've lived alone for 17 years. The adjustment has gone smoothly. It's nice to have people around.

Lacking

I've never lived anywhere with this many issues. We have false fire alarms frequently, they terrify the residents and traumatize the pets, and it takes upwards of 10 minutes to get it shut off. Things in the building that have broken and taken ages to get fixed: The washers, the dryers, the transport van, the Xfinity. Then you have repairs for the individual apartments that are often ignored. Won't come up with a hurricane evac plan for those who are dependent on their transportation. The food they serve is bad - if you were served this food in a restaurant, you'd send it back. We have constant turnover in management, but I'm hoping this iteration of new management can get things up to speed.

Unconcerned management, really bad food

Things just don't get done around here. Repairs wait for weeks. Transportation is down for weeks, laundry didn't work. The food is miserable - they charge you for three meals a day, then serve slop you wouldn't willingly pay to eat. Don't come here.

Review for River's Edge by Barclay House

The staff is here from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM. However, staff supplies us with Urgent Response devices that we keep on us. I would recommend River's Edge. It provides transportation to appointments and for outings, but there is no driver at the present time. You can check with River's Edge in a week or so; there should be a new driver by then.

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.

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.
