Noticed they didn’t celebrate black history month & they have black residents there..weird

My dad was placed at Amber Grove in the fall of 2025 for his safety and we just could no longer handle him at home. Dr. Lisa Ciucevich/Owner Director, and Lisa Waters/associate and administrator, have been top notch to work with. There is absolutely nothing that they get flustered over. Fast forward to February, our mom decided that she should move in to help keep dad calm. Yet again they were stellar to work with and incredibly accommodating to our parents. The staff are also fantastic, always keeping their clients busy and involved. They are getting more opportunities for socialization than they ever did living at home and alone. Our family really cannot say enough about Amber Grove and are so thankful for their guidance, compassion, patience and knowlege in this horrible time we have been going through. We would completely and comfortably recommend Amber Grove to care for your loved ones.

The cheerful yellow facade of the Amber Grove at Savannah Seasons memory care residence is your first clue that this is a different and special place. The ambiance is carefully orchestrated. Owner/director Lisa Ciucevich has called upon her 30 + years of elder care experience in designing a home that embodies her belief in the dignity, humanity and potential of every resident. She draws on her knowledge of who they were, and her acceptance of “where they are now” to provide familiar activities and objects that help keep them connected to their own lives. There are pictures and colorful scenes everywhere. Residents’ doors are adorned with banners that reflect their interests and personalities. Music or movies play in the common room, and everyone is encouraged to join in games and activities at their own pace and ability. The reality of memory care is that the challenges are many and the need for patience and compassion is endless. This is where Lisa, along with her associate and administrator Lisa Waters, and all of their staff, excel. They understand that dementia takes many forms and progresses through many stages, none of which are under the control of the person living with the disease. This level of understanding is the thing that has made it possible for me to surrender my loved one to Amber Grove with the peace of mind that they will be treated with care, dignity and respect.

When my grandmother was left in a vulnerable situation at the hospital, Amber Grove stepped in immediately with compassion and professionalism. On short notice, they worked closely with the hospital caseworker to bring her in, ensuring she had everything she needed from arranging furniture in her room to making her feel welcomed. Every staff member showed incredible kindness and patience during this difficult time. We are truly grateful for the dignity and warmth they gave my family and my grandmother.

Dropped in on my Aunt. VP of Operations Lisa Myers was there. She was delightful and took such good care of my loved one. I felt confident my family member was being so well respected and cared for. I feel like I can actually rest at night.
