TerraBella Shelby offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to move into the level of support that matches their needs. Assisted Living provides help with activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders, while still encouraging as much independence as possible. The Memory Care program is structured for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, using consistent routines and trained caregivers who monitor cognitive health. Medical oversight includes scheduled doctor visits and diabetes management, ensuring that blood-sugar monitoring, insulin administration, and diet adjustments are handled on site.
The community is fully secured, an essential feature for residents who may wander or require additional supervision. Licensed nurses are on staff around the clock to handle medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and coordination of hospice services when necessary. Regular assessments guide changes in each resident’s care plan, and coordination with outside physicians keeps treatments up to date. Families can rely on a structured environment backed by professional staffing and continuous monitoring.
Private and companion suites are available, and select accommodations are pet friendly so residents can bring a small animal companion. Some apartments open directly to landscaped outdoor areas, while others are closer to common spaces that include a piano or organ for resident use. Parking is provided for residents who still drive and for visiting family members. Because floor plans differ, not every unit includes every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to verify specific details during a tour.
Meals are prepared daily and served in a central dining room, with staff available to plate modified textures or special diets as ordered by physicians. Menu planning takes diabetes management into account, balancing carbohydrates and offering sugar-free alternatives. Snacks are available between meals, and hydration stations are placed throughout the building to encourage fluid intake.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts clubs, social outings, live music, karaoke nights, dances, birthday parties, and discussion groups in the library and computer lounge. Scheduled transportation makes it easier to attend off-site events, and staff organize outings that match resident interests. This range of programming is designed to reduce isolation and keep residents mentally and physically active.
