Terrabella Lake Norman

Terrabella combines their independent and assisted living folks. Unfortunately they cater to the independent level versus the assisted living folks when it comes to activities and processes. I would not recommend for assisted living folks that are at the lower end of the cognitive scale. Ones that are closer to independent then maybe but certainly not the other end.

Terrabella Lake Norman experience

We were very happy with Terra Bella Lake Norman. Food wasn't good and many chefs were employed during my parents stay. I don't know why. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience.

Level of care was never as described.

My mother began in the assisted living and then moved to memory care. We had problems from day one with basic care needs consistently slipping through the cracks. Terra Bella is a revolving door of underpaid under trained staff. The food is awful and very few people really seem to care and those don’t usually stay for long. They will raise your care rate dramatically without explanation or notice. If you want a caring environment where your loved one will be looked after and the management cares about family nee

Mom is happy

They tend to get friendly and helpful staff. Mom enjoys the interaction. Some food is good and some not so good. Consistency of food quality would be nice.

Would recommend TerraBella

If we could give a higher rating for the friendliness of the staff, I would. Overall a great facility and great fit for mom. Overall a very nice environment, the staff is super friendly and helpful, the facility is clean and bright, and there is enough to keep residents busy but not overwhelmed. I do wish there were some cultural outings, maybe once a month going to a music or theatre event, etc. they do bring people in occasionally and that is very enjoyable for the residents. The biggest downside is the food. It
