I had reviewed 3 other facilities and took my time in evaluating each as I was not pushed to make a quick decision. I made a number of inquiries to them as I learned more about Long Term Care and determining what was important for the care of my wife. The sales group was very helpful and getting information that I requested and provided information they anticipated that I might need in planning. After about 4 weeks, I decided that TerraBella North Ridge was the facility that met my budget and care concerns. Lot of paperwork to be completed but that went pretty smooth. I made a number of trips to visit my wife at different times to see how the memory care unit was being run. The care staff were impressive in how they care for the residents. They are outgoing and helpful in the care of the residents. The memory care unit has residents with various needs and they work to meet them. I was not aware that TerraBella has PAs that can take over the role of Primary Care Provider so the residents do not have to go out which would have been a problem for me. There are also long term pharmacies that can provide the needed medications that packaged to TerraBella requirements. I continued to learn other things the care group does such as some hair trimming and trimming finger nails. I checked on the dining offerings and the food served was good. They have food that is prepared in different ways that the resident may need. I have been impressed with TerraBella in providing all the needed care that my wife needs. I would recommend that you setup an appointment to see the facility and talk with with staff there if you are looking for assisted living or memory care.

The dining room food is restaurant quality, with daily specials and a decent fixed menu if you don't want the specials. The fixed menu changes every couple months. The exercise classes are both mentally and physically engaging. There is a lovely movie theater room, art room, outdoor seating area and garden. At the entrance there is a grand piano, bar, and bistro. A resident recently taught a Zentangle class in the art room. She started with "The difference between Zentangle and doodling is mindfulness vs. mindlessness" and without missing a beat another woman said "and you think that's going to help us?!" while a third snorked. The location is unusual, literally minutes away from a hospital, doctors, rehab and temporary assisted living, restaurants (Wasabi has outstanding sushi and sashimi), Costco, hotels, grocery, shopping, plus a lake and outdoor amphitheater walking distance. There is a pool and water aerobic classes, PT. There is a physician's assistant who visits and makes rounds every Friday, simply email or call. The place allows dogs and there are quite a few from small to large. While it is independent living, some have personal assistants and they allow hospice for those couples who don't want to split up (eye opening, hadn't considered that prior to seeing this place). I had a long conversation with many of the residents who moved from other facilities and said there was no comparison. One resident moved the same time as my parents from another Atria facility in Durham (he's quiet until he wants to talk, and then you get a wealth of information). He loves the fact that management has the freedom to manage. Initially the lighting in the theater room was bad, and it took six months but they changed it and now the theater is lovely. He said they will entertain any reasonable request. While I personally didn't do the level of research into senior communities that my parents and sister did since I don't live in NC, the consensus and my experience show this is an outstanding residence and community.

For over $6,000 a month, you would expect a certain standard of service they claim to provide--but that could not be further from reality. My mom entered with dementia that was still mild; she was independent and did not need memory care. We paid for a room, cleaning service, and medication dispensing. Yet her room was consistently dark, dingy, and NEVER cleaned. The entire facility often smelled of urine. After repeated complaints about the filth, nothing changed--I eventually bought my own supplies and cleaned her room and bathroom myself. Even worse, as my mom's dementia progressed, the staff NEVER communicated with us about her episodes or what was happening. How can a facility responsible for people's loved ones fail to notify families about their care and wellbeing? For the cost charged and the level of neglect received, this facility is unacceptable. DO NOT send your loved ones here.

She was admitted on Sept 11, 2023. The facility is clean and there are several caregivers who are qualified to work with the elderly and those with dementia. Most of the caregivers are NOT. If a facility encourages you to use their "in house" physician, you should NOT !! We gladly signed up for both Physician and (we were highly encouraged to sign up for) psychiatric care. My 95 year old mother had NEVER had any psychiatric issues. We found out that these professionals worked for the owner and not for us. Since the staff did not want to spend any time actually caring for mom, they tagged her as a "dementia problem" and started to medicate her. She was so over medicated that she could barely speak or hold her head up. After a few weeks, she was unable to feed herself. We pleaded with the owner to stop the meds. My mom was NOT able to clear them from her system and we knew that they were building up day after day after day. They had her in diapers (she was NOT in diapers when she was admitted). It was like nothing you could ever imagine !! Finally, the drugs became too much and mom complained of chest pain. Even though she was a Hospice patient, we called EMS (we knew this was out of the ordinary for her). After arriving at the ER, the Dr's could all agree that she was suffering from the effects of "polypharmacy". "Too many meds onboard". They had caused her respiration to be so depressed that she had just begun to develop aspiration pneumonia. It took a week in the hospital for her to detox. As soon as she was admitted to the hospital, the owner EVICTED her !! Said she was a threat to the other residents. This was a 95 year old who they had tethered to oxygen. Both rotator cuffs are torn and she cannot raise her arms. She evicted us with NO NOTICE !!!!! So wrong --------- Our Hospice team can agree with us that mom was in no way a threat to anyone. Upon eviction, she threated us with a trespass order if we were to step foot back into the house to pack up mom's belongings. She was afraid we would share with the other residents what had happened. And to top things off, Tara shorted us $2459.96 on the refund owed. She evicted mom on Nov 4. We had just paid $9800 for the month. You do the math. Refund sent was $6033.20. You CANNOT threaten someone with trespass and then CHARGE them to pack up and send their stuff. I have sent my report to NCDHHS. Multiple resident's rights were violated. DO NOT by any means, place your loved one in any facility that this lady runs. She actually has another house on the other side of Cary. We are awaiting the NCDHHS report. I doubt anything will be done but at least we have made other aware of our experience. Just another note - once mom was discharged from the hospital, she was her old sweet self. NO more drugs. She was no longer incontinent. She was eating and feeding herself. Our Hospice team can collaborate this.

Prior to my mom moving into The Retreat care home we were told by the owner that they would work…read morewith her to help make her legs stronger, so that she could stand and transfer better. This sounded like a great place for my mom and I was very hopeful that it would be. Yet, sadly, it was the complete opposite. The first issue started around the second week my mom was in The Retreat. We were told that my mother had such bad anxiety she would need to be medicated or she would be forced to leave the home. We were very hesitant to medicate my 95 year old mother who has never needed anxiety meds or even received an anxiety diagnosis. The owner strongly recommended we use their house doctor and house psychiatrist. I feel the house physicians work more for the owner and not so much for your loved one. However, it was decided she needed a sleeping medication, risperidone around the clock and as needed for anxiety and lorazepam as needed for anxiety . Shortly after starting the meds my mother became more and more sedated. It got to the point where she was sleeping through meals and was so weak she couldn't pick up her water bottle or silverware to feed herself. We kept asking if the medications could be reduced but the owner of the facility kept saying "her dementia is getting worse" and they refused to decrease them. We never believed that her dementia was getting worse and knew it was from all the psych medications they insisted she needed. Another one of my issues was that the owner's main method of communication was through email. She did not like texting or communicating directly with us. Her emails would be LONG and most of the information was simply not true. She would also copy upwards of 14 people on these emails, most of whom had never even worked with my mother. I think it is likely she used this as a form of intimidation. After several weeks of my mother taking the new medications, she required oxygen.This came as a shock to me, as my mother has never needed oxygen before, and this need seemed to arise from the new medications. On my mother's last day at the house, she complained of chest pain. EMS was called and she was transported to the hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital we were told by their doctors that just because my mom had good renal function elderly patients should not take those medications, The physician further explained that those medications are on the BEERS list, a list of medications that are notoriously difficult for elderly patients to metabolize. They caused her to have such respiratory depression that she couldn't inflate her lungs fully thus causing fluid in her lungs and aspiration pneumonia. We were told some facilities use the medications as a chemical restraint. All psych meds were discontinued in the hospital.After several long days her body cleared the meds and she returned to her normal state. Our Hospice team can attest that she returned to her normal state once all medications were discontinued. The owner evicted my mom while she was still in the hospital saying she was a threat to the other residents. To this day, I think that is comical, as mom was in a wheelchair and highly sedated while at the facility. This didn't matter too much to me, because after knowing that the medications they insisted she needed caused my mothers stay at the hospital, I knew I could never put my mother under their care again. Upon telling us my mother was evicted, she also told us we could not pack up her belongings. She stated we would be trespassing and if we showed up at the house she would file a restraining order against us. I think she was afraid we would speak with other residents or their families and tell them what happened. She charged us $500 to pack up all my mom's belongings, which again was forced since we were not allowed back at the house. Knowing what I do now, I would never recommend the Retreat to anyone. It was such a bad experience for my mom and for our entire family.
