Beautiful facility, staff could improve

The price was much more reasonable than the place he had previously stayed. However, they increased the price within 4 months, claiming that it was just a "promotional" price that he had started at. They do not return phone calls even when left repeated concerned messages. Some of them have also acted unprofessionally towards my father, who is the resident there.

Bella Terra Mom’s New Home

Moving my 88 year old Mother to Monarch Bella Terra is one of the best decisions I have ever made. She is so happy with her new living arrangements and has made many new friends. She is immersed in many activities daily and cannot be happier.

Well run facility with a respectful staff and numerous activities

For items 1 thru 7 I would give each a 5. For #8 I would have to give it a 4 Reason is that I was told we would not receive rental increases to be a bit more than the COLA. However my very first increase after living here for 7 months was almost 4 times the COLA. This was quite a shock I was aware of some capital improvements being made but did not expect such a large increase. The facility is constantly being improved The staff after several managerial changes appears to be run efficiently and respectful to residents and to some of their concerns when needed.

I would recommend Bella Tara

My sister in law is independent so not to much but the doctor does go to her if she needs. When you walked it felt like u were in a hotel no nasty smell. The apartments are spacious.

Monarch Bella Terra review

An item was delivered to her room before my cousin moved in. When I looked, the box was open and the item missing. I contacted them immediately, and there has been no resolution to date. Room size and layout seem good. There are lots of windows in her unit.

I am happy here.

Everyone is so friendly. It is easy to make friends among the residents and the staff go out of their way to help with any need. The main complaint is about the food but you can't satisfy every person every time. Administration does try to correct any problems.

A wonderful place for my Mom.

5 for all. What we like the most about Monarch Bella Terra is that there are a lot of activities both on premise and off, very friendly staff, clean and updated facility, and cost is very reasonable for all of this. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families!! So appreciative of this facility. My mom takes advantage of exercise classes, including a pool class and walking outside. She does NOT sit in her room. She is 86

What they could improve on is just keeping the cost down, but I guess I would recommend this community to other families.

Staff and residents are very warm and welcoming. I had an excellent ambassador who assisted me with familiarizing me with the facility, staff and activities provided. This was a great asset to help me in my transition from being a home owner To an individual and independent resident

We really have no real complaints! My parents are not involved in activities because of their physical and mental limitations so I can't speak for that aspect. I am pleased with the lovely and spacious apartment and friendly staff.

Experience at Bella Terra

Everyone is very friendly and helpful to one another. The staff is always willing to help. There are a lot of fun things to do and programs to join . Questions and requests are handled courteously. The costs are less than with most other places.

Great staff and a good facility, I would recommend them.

Everyone is very nice and friendly. They allow pets and outdoor smoking. I was told they were doing millions in upgrades but have not observed much activity. Cleanliness needs much attention and my mom doesn't like the food.

Review for Bella Terra by Monarch

I picked Bella Terra for a few reasons. It was modern and up-to-date. The room that they were going to give my dad was brand new. It is 15 minutes from my home. And it was affordable because he currently is just in assisted-living without extra care.

Review for Bella Terra by Monarch

I would recommend to others. I would say overall it's a good place. My concern is with administration they do not clearly communicate with residents and do not explain increases. My mom was increased with no satisfactory warning or explanation. Then a rent increase followed. We picked Bella Terra based on the cost.

I am currently a resident at Bella Terra by Monarch and everything at this facility has been great for me so far. The move in process was very easy. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The housekeeping is spot on. Communication with the family is good. The meals are good. One suggestion for improvement that I would offer: they should have more activities for the male residents. I would recommend Bella Terra by Monarch to others.

While there are some minor things to work on, Bella Terra was a great choice for our family!

The room is very clean and my mother-in-law's caregiver is wonderful. Her room is very nice. Overall, once we got settled in, it's been a very good experience. I would recommend it. The disappointing thing is that there were certain things promised like a grief therapy group. For example, that is not there. They need to have more outings. We thought that there would be more outings that my mother-in-law would enjoy. There are very few outings and sometimes she's the only resident that goes out. I feel like they could do better at encouraging residents to join in.
