Savant of Santa Monica. When we walked into the door I was overwhelmed by how bright clean and lively the location was we toured on a Wednesday and there was live entertainment in a designated area, on the tour we met different individuals. We met a young man by the name of Frank who was head of maintenance I believe, while meeting this young man, he emphasize that no matter how small the task is, if we need anything, let him know. By all means he is a man of his word. Frank has gone out of his way to assisting in finding A convenient Room for my mother-in-law to assembling A shower chair, reclining chairs, putting together lamps and everything that was needed for my mother-in-law to have a comfortable stay at Savant. Thank you, Frank our family truly appreciate you! Savant is truly a lifesaver no pun intended! Yesterday while celebrating my mother-in-law‘s birthday, unfortunately she had a setback however, Myesha and the nursing staff along with a number of caregivers immediately jumped into action doing what was necessary to prevent this setback being much much worse. Savant, thank you for having staff members, like Myesha, and the rest of the caregivers that were there when this incident occurred. Our family truly appreciate you!!

My husband has been residing at Savant of Santa Monica. I cannot say enough about the staff who are the heart of this place. They are caring, attentive, and support residents well-being. The maintenance team works consistently to create a welcoming environment. They have been very attentive to assisting my husband as well when he needed a bed table assembled and when there is a maintenance issue. The housekeeping staff is also very attentive and focused on the cleanliness of the environment. The nursing staff and medication assistants have also been invaluable in helping me understand how to best support my husband’s needs. Whenever I reach out, they provide thoughtful, helpful guidance. The kitchen provides tasty meals and alternative choices for those who prefer something different from the scheduled menu. The doctors' group associated with the facility has been supportive as well, working with us to meet my husband’s unique needs. Overall, I am deeply appreciative of the kindness, dedication, and conscientious care provided by everyone at Savant of Santa Monica. Martha

Just to be clear this review is for a gentlemen that works there named Frank. While the facility and staff in general seems unorganized and deshoveled perhaps do to consistently staff overturn but in general in needs fine running. Perhaps they are going through growing pains as I do see slight improvement on the facility . That said, Frank, seems to wear many hats and runs around nonstop all with a smile on his face. Though he seems overwhelmed with all the work thrown at him, yet he still manages to handle it while never ignoring the patience and always stoping to say hello to them and personally assist to their needs and concerns. I think if more workers there were more like Frank, it would turn the place into a much more acceptable facility to feel that it is a safe and happy place for our loved one's. He seems to have all the qualifications to handle a management position and turn the place around. DiTa
