TerraBella Harrisburg offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to support that ranges from help with daily tasks to specialized oversight for advanced dementia conditions. Care teams are prepared to respond to wandering behaviors at any hour, manage elopement risks, and work with residents who may be combative or awake throughout the night. Clinical staff can administer oxygen, accommodate special diets, and monitor residents who use oral or injectable diabetes medications, ensuring continuity of medical treatment onsite.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is routinely on the premises, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees complete background checks, and the night shift stays awake to respond immediately to pull-cord or personal emergency response system alerts. Podiatry services and a dedicated therapy room are available without leaving the building. Direct care can include full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, as well as some physical help at mealtimes. Mobility options cover walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, one-person and two-person transfers, and even bed-bound positioning, allowing most residents to remain in place as needs change.
Living quarters come with practical conveniences such as private bathrooms, in-room temperature controls, and cable access, and residents may personalize their spaces with paint or décor after coordinating with staff. Housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry services help keep wardrobes in order. Not every room contains each listed feature, so families should confirm availability during a tour.
Meals are prepared with the flexibility to handle doctor-ordered diets, diabetic requirements, or texture modifications. Residents can order food to preference at mealtimes, and snacks are kept on hand around the clock. A private dining room may be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions, giving residents a place to celebrate without leaving the community.
Additional conveniences include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, high-speed internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments or local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
