Altamaha Healthcare Center

My uncle became a resident at Altamaha Healthcare Center in 2022 after suffering a life-altering stroke. When he was stable enough to be transferred to a skilled nursing home, many facilities would not accept him due to his complex needs. Thankfully, Altamaha welcomed him and gave our family so much peace. My dad (his brother) visits weekly. He always says the staff members are very courteous and seem to genuinely care for the residents. Prior to my uncle's stroke, his primary language was Spanish. Despite the language barrier, his caregivers have found unique ways to communicate with him. Although his stroke was significant, we are grateful that his therapy there has helped him make tiny improvements with his mobility. Since my uncle's time at Altamaha, they have performed some renovations which made it look much more modern and inviting. I personally love to visit the nursing home's Facebook page to look for new posts with photos of my uncle. Our extended family members in Mexico also enjoy the social media posts, as it is comforting to see him participating in social activities. So far, we are pleased with my uncle's care, and we hope he continues to do well at Altamaha Healthcare Center.

My mother is there and I went there and was so impressed with the staff. Very good with her and the director was amazing! She is in good care there.

I enjoyed my stay with them when I was in rehab. I love everyone and everyone is very friendly and helpful.

My sister who suffered a massive stroke this past August was sent to a skilled Nursing Facility in Savannah for intensive physical therapy. We had the worst experience which resulted in my sister being bruised at all times and fell 3 times in one month which resulted in ER visits for stitches. The 3rd Fall and resulting ER visit was the last straw and we began looking for another facility. Luckily, Memorial Hospital recommened Altamaha in Jesup to place her and we are so happy with that decision. When my sisters and I visit we see how happy and friendly the staff is and always seems to enjoy being at their jobs. This is the exact opposite from what we saw at the Savannah facility. Altamaha is an hour's drive from where we live but it is well worth the drive because we have peace of mind and feel very confident that my sister is at the best place possible. My sister seems so content and never has bruises. I thank God we were led to Altamaha Healthcare. They are truly an answer to prayer.

Everyone is very good at letting me know how my mom is
