Assisted Living in Savannah, Georgia

Georgia’s coastal city of Savannah is home to more than 20,000 older adults, with almost 14% of its population consisting of people aged 65 or above. Warm temperatures throughout most of the year make it easy for active seniors to enjoy the city’s beaches, parks and historical attractions. The cost of living is lower than state and national averages, which can help retirees offset the higher-than-average income tax rates. Savannah has 273 doctors per 100,000 people, which is more than the national average of 210. Additionally, seniors have easy access to several hospitals and clinics, including Candler Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital.    

Assisted living facilities provide care and support for older people who need help with day-to-day tasks, such as personal care, meal preparation or housework. It can be a great option for seniors who can no longer live alone but don’t need the high level of medical care provided by nursing homes. In Savannah, seniors typically pay around $3,513 per month for assisted living, which is similar to the statewide average of $3,535.

This guide offers an overview of assisted living care in Savannah, including average monthly care costs and local resources to help seniors as they age.
