I visited this facility

I toured TerraBella Southport. I was very happy. It was very nice, very well maintained, and the people were very nice. My first impressions were quite positive. The person who helped with the tour was very nice and friendly, explained everything, and answered all our questions. He was good.

I visited this facility

I went to see the assisted living facility of TerraBella Southport. It was clean, the staff were friendly, and the residents appeared to be happy. The facility was also beautiful. It was beautifully decorated, and they apparently had just gone through a renovation, so they took the carpet out. The hardwood flooring was beautiful, and it made it easier for residents with wheelchairs to transport themselves. The person who gave the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable.

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 seem…

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!

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

My dad is in assisted living at TerraBella Southport. It's a nice place. The staff is nice and pleasant. They only have two levels there, assisted living and memory care. If they had unassisted living, he would probably be still staying there, but they don't. He hasn't been overly thrilled with the food. It's a clean and pretty well-maintained place. The value for the money is good.

I visited this facility

The people at TerraBella Southport were awesome. The rooms were pretty nice. I didn't get to eat at the cafeteria, but I stopped by and checked it out and I thought that it was pretty nice. They had a garden outside where you could sit and just talk and that was a neat spot. My whole family does art, so that was a place where you could work that in your mind and go out, sit in the garden, and ponder. It was beautiful. I've never seen another facility. So as far as I'm concerned, this facility is a 3 …
