TerraBella Athens offers different living options for seniors, with choices like Active Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Respite Care, and Skilled Nursing right there on the same campus, so folks can get a little more or a little less help as they need. The place has spacious apartment homes in studio and one-bedroom layouts, and some apartments in their memory care area are semi-private or private, which means people can live on their own or with a roommate, depending on what makes sense for their situation. The whole community is set up to be comfortable and convenient for older adults with care amenities, exterior courtyards, porch areas, clubhouses, lounges, living rooms, sunrooms, a community room, handicap accessibility, and outdoor features like accessible parking, a courtyard, patio spaces, and even a putting green if someone wants to get out and practice a little golf. Pets are allowed, and the facility aims for a pet-friendly policy so residents can keep their animals close, which lots of folks find comforting.
Inside, you'll find elegant dining rooms with big windows, chandeliers, and mirrors, and the residents get chef-prepared meals, homemade desserts, and friendly tableside service, so people don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning up. There's a full-time licensed nurse on staff who oversees personalized care plans, and a team of wellness professionals who coordinate things for residents with changing needs, and they do their best to help people stay as safe and healthy as possible. There's specialized Memory Care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and that neighborhood uses proven tools and staff training to keep things safe, calm, and respectful for residents with memory problems. Services are tailored to each person, and these may include help with daily activities, housekeeping, transportation, and maintenance, plus skilled care like speech-language pathology, wound management, suction and oxygen therapy, and inpatient rehab, which are useful when residents need extra medical attention.
TerraBella Athens puts effort into keeping folks active and social, with a Director of Celebrations who plans social events, entertainment, worship services, crafts, shopping trips, outings, and themed gatherings like sundaes socials, so there's something for those who like to mingle or just watch from afar. Wi-Fi and high-speed internet are available for those who want to keep in touch online, and there's a business center with computers and a bookshelf for residents who like to read or need to handle a bit of paperwork. There's a Fast Track program for new residents to help them settle in, as well as a daily activity calendar. For those times when family members or caregivers need a break, Respite Care and short-term stays are available, with professional support right there during the visit. The community is verified for state licensing and is a member of the Tennessee Health Care Association, which shows they keep up to date with required standards. Caregivers, families, and residents can also use resources, glossaries, and other information provided as part of a wider network. With staff who focus entirely on senior living, no other unrelated services mixed in, TerraBella Athens keeps the focus on making daily life easier and safer for residents, whether they're planning ahead or need care right away. Tours are available and can be scheduled in person or online, so anyone interested can see firsthand how the place feels and what daily life is like.
