Takes some time to get used to a new normal

I think the staff generally cares for the well-being of the residents. They do call them by their names and do tend to know the specifics of each resident and their needs. I am pleased when they address them individually and it is obvious that they know exactly what to do, when the Memory Care patients are upset or needs to be directed. They do a good job at redirecting and making them happy. Something to get used to is they allow the dignity and freedom of the resident to come and go as they please through the me…

Horrible Facility

Seems like the staff is overwhelmed by the number of residents they have to care for on shifts, therefore residents go without proper care. Ratio needs to be adjusted... Staff to resident.. Ants in rooms. Food and personal belongings go missing. Lack of compassion for the elderly. Overall the place needs improvement in a lot of areas.

I visited this facility

I toured TerraBella Hillsborough. The people there seemed to be very nice and attentive. Some of the residents there seem to be happy. So we got a chance to talk to a few of them. The facility was clean and just looked like a nice place. They have a meal plan every day. They have an activities director that tries to encourage the residents to do some activities. They take trips so you can sign up for and go out to meals or other events. They're able to help the residents. They have different levels of care fro…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Please think carefully about sending your loved one to terrabella hillsborough. It looks pretty but the resident to staff ratio is not adequate for the needs of residents. My mom had more than 3 accidents and hospital visits while living there. The executive director has no compassion for the aging elderly and their needs. I wished I had moved my mom out sooner than later. Check out terrabella on the state of NC as well to see the violations and they are not a 4 star facility as they advertise to be. Do not send yo…

I visited this facility

TerraBella Hillsborough looked like it had been updated. It was extremely clean and quiet. They seem to have a little bit better furniture for the common areas. Their rooms are a tad bigger than the other facility. I talked with a couple of the staff, and they were helpful. I did the tour with a lady, and she went over and beyond. She took plenty of time with me.
