Choosing independent living with supportive services at TerraBella Greenville means not having to choose between independence and support. In our community for independent living with help, you can still enjoy an active life and live it on your terms. However, you have confidence you’ve found a home for long-term aging with autonomy, with the option of additional support if your needs change in the future.
Set just outside downtown Greenville, SC, our community gives you easy access to Upstate’s best restaurants, theaters, museums, and festivals. From Falls Park to The Peace Center and the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, there is always something happening in Greenville to get involved with. With 37% of older South Carolinians now living alone, with its associated risks of isolation and loneliness, our community helps you remain connected both on campus and with the surrounding area.
What Is Independent Living With Supportive Services?
Traditional independent living communities were designed for seniors looking for retirement accommodation with the perk of having helpful services on site. However, as there was no option to access care services, some residents were not able to make independent living their long-term home.
However, the concept at TerraBella Greenville is different. Supportive services fall into two categories:
- Traditional independent living services
- Extra support provided by third-party companies
Both of these options can help you make TerraBella Greenville a long-term home in which you can feel truly settled and connected with a community of like-minded people.
Independent Living Services
All TerraBella Greenville residents can choose from seven floor plans – three suites and four apartment homes. All include kitchen areas and patios, and range from 325 sq. ft. to 943 sq. ft. These different layouts not only suit various budgets, but also individual lifestyles.
All residents benefit from the following programs:
- Freshly-prepared meals each day
- Activity calendar with a wide variety of programming
- Health and fitness amenities and classes
- Housekeeping and maintenance services
- Front desk support
If you are fit, active, and just looking for a helping hand with some of the more tedious aspects of life, these services are ideal for you. Say goodbye to home maintenance, expensive repairs, yard work, and HOA meetings. Instead, embrace a life that centers around doing what you want to do with comfort and convenience.
Third-Party Services That Help You Stay Longer
You may be very active and independent now, but none of us knows exactly what the future holds. Or one partner may enjoy good health, while the other is now developing a few care needs. This is where supportive services from third-party providers come in.
Although TerraBella Greenville does not provide or oversee these services, we can connect you with trusted local companies who can assistwith the following:
- Home healthcare
- Non-medical home care
- Visiting and on-site therapies
- Podiatry
- Hospice arrangements
Residents are under no obligation to use any of these flexible senior support services. Yet, having the option is reassuring. It helps to know that this may be the only retirement move you ever have to make, as services that empower seniors to remain as independent as possible are on hand.
What’s the Most Requested Support Service For the Elderly?
Most seniors come to a point in life where they really appreciate someone else taking care of housework and home maintenance.Very few wish they could mow a lawn again or fix a roof. They are glad to let someone else take over and do the hard work!
In terms of personal care, research by the National Center for Assisted Living suggests that the following care needs are most common among seniors in South Carolina:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Walking
- Going to the bathroom
- Transferring
- Eating
Although at TerraBella Greenville, we do not have a caregiver team and provide these services ourselves, residents are welcome to make private arrangements with trusted third-party companies.
