TerraBella Myrtle Beach sits about a mile from the Atlantic sands, built as a three-story, craftsman-style community close to shops, restaurants, and places like Broadway at the Beach and Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, and the place doesn't give off any fuss or grand claims but has done a good job focusing on real needs for older adults. People notice the home-like feeling here, with room sizes running from 335 up to 1,056 square feet, letting folks pick from studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, many with features like walk-in tubs, climate control, and safety rails in bathrooms. The grounds have scenic walking paths, a pond with a fountain, white fences, and lush landscaping dotted with benches, and the buildings include balconies with pond views, a covered brick entryway, and a multi-story lobby with a piano and an atrium. Inside, there are inviting living spaces with farmhouse-style furniture, soft carpets, and big windows, while activity rooms, billiard lounges, a computer room, chapel, and well-lit library provide spaces for hobbies and quiet time.
TerraBella Myrtle Beach supports seniors with independent living, assisted living for those who need some help with daily tasks, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. Specialized care programs cover therapy needs like speech, physical, and occupational therapy, along with hospice care and a licensed skilled nursing area for those needing higher-level support, and the staff put attention on residents' changing health with help when they need it. Signature programs have their own names, like Sensations Dining for chef-prepared meals, Celebrations for a full calendar of activities and events, and Dimensions for wellness and fitness programs, so seniors can join arts, music, religious services, or catch live entertainment or guest meals in a private dining room with polished tables and chandeliers. Facilities include garden walking areas, community gardens, arts and crafts studios, guest parking, laundry rooms, and elevators, with guest suites and sitting areas in spacious community rooms, plus a professional salon, barber shop, and chapel with weekly services.
It's a pet-friendly place, so residents can bring pets, and everyone can access WiFi in community spaces, cable or satellite TV in apartments, and transportation for shopping, doctor visits, and errands. Housekeeping and linen help is handled by the Impressions team, who offer everything from cleaning floors to changing light bulbs. Residents also find resources and support for dementia, including talks about the stages of the disease, coping tips, and education through the "The Disappearing Mind" podcast. There's a focus on making planning easy with senior care tools and help for veterans too.
TerraBella Myrtle Beach stays attentive to safety and social wellness, with fitness equipment, a gym, and salon services for feeling your best. Cozy living rooms, a library with good light, spacious dining rooms, a computer room, mailboxes with locks, and guest meal options help keep life comfortable and easy to manage. There's a steady sense of community, and folks can join tours, meet staff and residents, or even check the place out with a virtual visit, and people tend to leave good online reviews, saying the place lives up to its plans for world-class hospitality without putting on airs.
