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.

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.

It was a shock when I was told his care level was higher and the bill had was [fee removed] increase the next month!

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.
