The people at Bella Terra were very nice and gave me a lovely tour, but it wasn't what I wanted. I didn't see a lot of activities going on. It's an older facility, and it's a little less clean looking. The ceilings were very low, which gave off a different vibe as far as the openness goes. The rooms were more like studios. They had an activity sheet, and there were more women and more things for women to do there. I'm looking for my father, so I'm looking for an environment where there are more men than women. The staff was great, and the layout was fine.

We're moving into Bella Terra. It looks wonderful. They have cozy small rooms where you can go, sit, and read. They have a very nice library. It is more welcoming and more homey; it is just lovely. Hopefully, it will work out. We went for lunch there, and the food was very good. My daughter was with us then, and she thought the food was delicious. The people are very nice. They're all very professional, but very friendly. They have a beauty salon, a hairdresser, a dentist, and an eye doctor. They have a podiatrist that comes in too. They have a wonderful therapy, an exercise room, and a full-time therapist. They do occupational and physical therapy, and they provide car service for shopping. The only thing I do not like is they say they have to be the one to give me my meds. Also, I know I get three meals a day there, but I love cooking. They told me that New Jersey law says they have to turn off the oven when it is assisted living.

I loved Bella Terra. The rooms were nice and big, and there was a lot of closet space, activities, and outdoor areas where you can go for a walk. They had a beautiful swimming pool and really nice physical therapy workout spaces. I think the common rooms, the outdoor areas, and the activities were really great. In fact, I am taking my mother back there because I went to all these places on my own. The only problem with Bella Terra was that it's located so far away, but I really liked it.

I loved Bella Terra. I would recommend them. Everything about it was nice and clean. They couldn’t care for my mom because she needed a higher level of care. The staff was extremely friendly and very inviting. The rooms and the grounds were very nice. They had a pool and good food.

I loved Bella Terra's cozy rooms and the setup of the facility. The dining area was beautiful, like a restaurant. They had arts and crafts and were making centerpieces. The staff was very friendly.

Bella Terra was very nice, and it has everything you want. The general consensus was that it was small. It wasn’t as open as some of the other ones. Some of them when you walk in were really almost open with an atrium, a foyer, 2-story, and kind of inviting that Bella Terra wasn’t. It was smaller, and I thought the hallways were tighter. When you have two people on walkers coming by, it was more cramped. When you walk in, there was a pool which I thought was a little out of the way. We went through the whole place, but it just didn’t make the cut, and it was too far away for us. It was a very nice place; it just didn’t fit our family.

Bella Terra was nice. It was just a little spread out with a lot of walking from place to place for my mom. The woman was very nice. She gave us lunch when we were there. Overall, it was nice and clean. They had senior trips, but my mother would not get involved in that. They would take her to her doctors' appointments if we wanted.

I visited Bella Terra, and the place seemed OK. It’s a bigger place, and the people that needed more watching were upstairs; I was not too fond of that area. It did not seem as nice as downstairs.

My friend is being placed in Bella Terra. The environment is clean, has no odor whatsoever, and it’s bright, airy, and friendly. The intake staff, the executive was most helpful. I got there late yesterday, and they’ve already showed her the room with another friend of mine, and they took me around to see it again. It was just a very pleasant experience. She has an apartment with a kitchenette. It’s up-to-date with a nice size living room that has place under an open area and a nice size bedroom. The bathroom not only has a shower, but the shower also has a seat already, so it’s very accommodating.

Bella Terra was a new building, and it had a kitchenette in the room with a refrigerator and cupboards. The place was very nice, clean, and the people were wonderful. The room was really nice and of decent size with a lot of closet space and a big bathroom. It had a regular kitchen like a galley kitchen with no stove. The place was a little more secluded, and it was just a couple of years old.

The apartments at Bella Terra were very nice. I liked that they had lot of activities and that the people were very friendly. They gave us some dessert, and my sister said it was very good. The apartments were very sunny, spacious, and nice. The person who assisted us was very nice. They had a wait room, a very nice swimming pool, heated pool, arts and crafts, sports room, and library.

I’ve moved my aunt to Bella Terra. It’s beautiful; it has all the amenities that any one could hope for. It’s like being on a cruise every day and she’s very happy. They were able to get her a 2-bedroom assisted living which was what she wanted. I have visited other places but finding a 2-bedroom was very limited because most assisted living places don’t have 2-bedroom units. This facility has converted some independent-living units to assisted living so that’s why they have 2-bedroom units. The staff has been very responsive. My aunt eats everything and finishes every meal. She’s delighted not to have to worry about what she’s making for any meal and there is always something that she enjoys. I have to say that I’m satisfied with their service. Any issue or problem that I’ve had has been neatly addressed.

Bella Terra was a very nice facility; the experience there was very good. They were very nice and very accommodating. They even gave me a cupcake to take home with me. I was impressed by that that they would extend themselves that far, and the cupcake was very tasty, too. The drawback for it was that it was an hour and 20 minutes from my house. Their rooms were a little bit bigger than the ones that I had seen and were very nice. The bedrooms and the living area were large enough. I didn’t care so much about the kitchen, but they did have a kitchen. They had an in-room washer and dryer. It was definitely a superior place.

Bella Terra was nice. They had a pool, which was lovely. I liked it. I remember there were different levels, and they were in different areas. In the dementia area, the people couldn't really use the pool unless someone was with them. I did like that they had a large area to walk around. It had a nice, warm feeling.

We also visited Bella Terra. We talked to family members and the people. We saw what they were eating. I talked to staff members as well. They were on top of things, and the people were happy. It was a nice place to be in an assisted living place. We looked at something where people in general were happy.
