our family experience

I loved the way the memory staff was attentive to the residents and called them by name. The rooms were kept clean with daily housekeeping. The meals were okay. What could be improved is keeping the loved ones paying for the care kept up on when the resident was going to get a care level review. That way they will be surprised if the bill was going to go up. It was a shock when I was told his care level was higher and the bill had was [fee removed] increase the next month!

Expected Better

Most of the staff was friendly. Community space is clean but the rooms are not kept clean. We had to clean up food and other trash from floor and under beds/chairs. The rooms didn't seem to ever get vacuumed. Residents fend for themselves mostly and if they have dementia they are on their own. My grandmother was not offered fluids outside of meals (resulted in urinary issues), not wearing glasses, hearing aid batteries not changed etc. When my grandmother declined further and started having behavior issues, it seemed they didn't want to be bothered with her anymore and increased her fee to over an additional $[removed]k a month. When we said we couldn't afford that, we were told their memory care was full and they did nothing to help us find alternate accommodations. They never told us about escalating behavior issues until they wanted more money from us. There was minimal communication about her care unless she was a bother to them. We rushed to find her a new place before they charged us. The move did not do her well and she ultimately passed away a few weeks later. Thank god for the Gentiva hospice staff as they were who we got most of our information from about her and really cared for her when they were with her.

Our Family's Experience

What we like the most about TerraBella Southport is the location and size. A nice community and relatively small assisted living facility. We also liked the fact the building was all one level. It made it more comfortable for our Mom.

Great experience

We were able to get my grandmother into Terra Bella quickly. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They have taken the time to get to know my grandmother and family members. My grandmother enjoys being there and participating in all the activities. We are very pleased with Terra Bella and highly recommend them.

Where is my mother?

The Administration and staff at Terra Bella were very nice and welcoming. My mother, the only African American out of 70 residents, was there for 2 weeks. She was supposed to be there for a respite 3 month period. On the 13th day I received a call at 5 a.m. My 94 year old mother had fallen, her head was bleeding, 911 was called, an ambulance took her away. I was then called about the incident and was told I'd be called again with an update. Nearly 3 hours passed. I called. They didn't know what hospital she was taken to and no staff had ridden with her in her disoriented condition. I asked for numbers of hospitals in that city. I called around but no one had heard of her. I called Terra Bella and was told that EMS drivers often don't tell where they take a patient. "Where is my mother?" One staff member placed me on hold, called around and found that she was in a hospital in my city, about 1 hour away. I rushed to the hospital and found her, head still bleeding some. She didn't go back

My father has liked the majority of the meals. They have activities scheduled every day. They have several excursions monthly as.

We toured TerraBella Southport during our search for a Memory Care facility for our loved one. The staff at this facility was lovely. It was a very homey, cozy and comfortable atmosphere and had beautiful grounds. Good price. I would have chosen this facility for my loved one, but it was too far from me.

Terra Bella a great experience for residents

They are understaffed because they can't find anyone who wants to work! But the staff there worked very hard and helped with anything needed. Very helpful. We picked this community, because of the location, fair price, residents alert friendly, and fun activities enjoyed by many. Not wandering Alzheimer's patients everywhere. Beautiful landscaping and seasonal decorations very tastefully done! The activities director had very clever activities and holiday events as well. The residents had exercising as well as mind games to get the involved and engaged! The nursing staff was attentive and friendly just not enough for exceptional service. But that is the case everywhere these days. No one wants to work!

Happy with our choice

What sticks out the most about TerraBella Southport is the personal attention given to each resident by all staff. They make every effort to keep residents engaged through diverse activities. They encourage residents to socialize and foster their independence. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.

The reason we did not choose TerraBella Southport when we were looking is because it got bad ratings from the state, it only had one star.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know North Carolina’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about North Carolina’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
