After looking at 100’s of facilities in NC & in other states, Terra Bella Southport Senior Living facility stood out as one of the few that maintained one of the highest professional atmospheres that we saw, but was focused on creating the most loving & compassionate home for my Mom. I immediately knew that this was the perfect place for my Mom to have an extended family home that truly cared about her well-being & safety in her last days with us. The kind & thoughtful interactions between the staff members (even the directors) with their residents was exemplary & rarely seen at most facilities. I wished we would have moved her sooner b/c sooner is better for the resident & family, so for those in the middle of these difficult decision times with their loved ones, please know that this was the best advice that we got from the many experts at Terra Bella & others in this area. My Mom had lived at an independent apartment for over a decade after my Dad passed & she was resistant to move, but her need for more support could no longer be ignored even when we were faced with minimal family support in this decision. It proved to be the best decision for everyone. Within 3 days she was outwardly happier, more social, and was no longer afraid. The happiest moment for me was when she proclaimed that she loved her new home in just 3 days after moving in. This could only be attributed to this amazing staff to quickly orient her & not only to make her feel safe but truly cared for. Thank you Terra Bella.
