I like TerraBella Hillsborough because it was smaller than the other place, and it was not so spread out.
I went to the memory care unit. They had an outdoor space, and it wasn't that large. It needed some tidying up, but they were in the process of remodeling inside and working on the outside. They had a kitchen and a refrigerator, where they could store food and reheat it for them. They had a separate area for residents that had to be fed. They could group them together and assist them all at one time. They also had a little activity room that they were going to redo.
The person during the tour was very animated and very excited about what was going on there. She had a degree and really wanted to work with these residents to keep their cognitive function and activity level up as much as possible. I was really impressed with that.
The lady was really energetic in a very positive way with what they were trying to accomplish with the residents. The only thing that rang a bell with me is that when patients reach a certain stage (which is where my mother is now), I don't want her got up at 7:00 in the morning. I want her to be able to sleep in. She's 88 years old. She's getting into the end stages of dementia, and I don't want her pushed to do activities. I would have discussed that in detail with them before placing my mother.

We liked TerraBella Hillsborough a lot better than the other facility. We also got to tour their dining room. The residents in memory care seemed happier, and the facility was not as aged. We observed them performing activities. It just seemed a little cleaner and a little bit more well-kept and the rooms seemed slightly bigger. They were adequately spaced for a memory care resident. They had a salon. We didn't get to see it at the time, but they did have that. The entrance was very nice coming in, so for family members, it's more appealing to the eye when you come to visit the place. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable.

My mom moved in and she seems happy there and well cared for. Debra, the coordinator of the memory care unit, is wonderful, she's really great, and since we can't visit, she actually sent us some videos. The director of care is also wonderful, and everybody that we've had an interaction with has been great, just top notch. From what I've seen in the video call, in the hallway in the memory care unit, they have these wall puzzles instead of framed pictures that the residents can stop and play with, and I was impressed by that. The rooms were small, but they seemed nice from what we've been able to see on the video.

I was warmly welcomed there. Katie M. was mainly the one who gave me the tour and the one I was dealing with, and talked about all the paperwork. I didn't have the chance to meet much staff because they were having a big staff meeting when I was there.
The facility looks fine and that's the one I've decided where my husband will be moving in in a couple of weeks. The place was clean. The model room they showed me was fine. The bathroom was okay, the shower is accessible and he will have his own closet. He's going to have a roommate. He's not happy about that but that's what we can afford. I think my husband will adjust and be comfortable with it. Overall, it looked all right so I'm happy and satisfied.
One big factor in choosing this facility is its home-like atmosphere. It's all on one level. He can walk around and there are like outdoor porches, sitting rooms, and that's what appealed to me.
