TerraBella Epps Bridge sits on a quiet 20-acre campus with nice landscaped views and lots of places to walk, and people living there can pick from apartments or private cottage homes that have things like WiFi, cable, kitchenettes, or kitchen appliances, and there's dining room service too, which a lot of folks seem to enjoy, and the chef-prepared meals get served in their Sensations Dining Room, but for people in the cottages there are meal options as well. People can bring their pets, and there's even pet grooming, plus there's guest parking and garage amenities for their cars or for visitors who stop by to share a meal in the dining room. The fee structure includes an entry fee of $2,500, and you pay rent and care fees all together, with checks or credit cards accepted, and the community is for people 55 and older who want independent living but might want some support now or later, since they offer assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for people who need help with things like dementia, and even adult day care, plus home health care if you want it.
The staff at TerraBella Epps Bridge pay attention to safety, with a pendant alert for emergencies, and support people with things like medication reminders, in-home health care, therapies like physical and occupational therapy, plus visiting podiatrists, audiology specialists, and mobile X-rays, and there's also hospice care, pharmacy services, and non-medical care for daily needs. Housekeeping and laundry services, called Impressions Housekeeping & Maintenance, make sure things stay clean, whether that means cleaning floors or dusting ceiling fans, and there's scheduled transportation for shopping, medical appointments, and group outings in the Athens area, like museum visits or trips to nearby parks. They hold religious services in an on-site chapel, and they welcome veterans with VA aid assistance and a Military Veterans Program, and there's all kinds of programs for daily entertainment, including arts and crafts, karaoke, Tai Chi, yoga, stretching, tabletop games, classroom activities like Tech Tuesday, and even literary and educational events, so people get to know their neighbors and keep their minds active.
The setting has a craftsman-style touch, with plenty of places to sit in a sunlit atrium where people can chat with family and friends, and there are outdoor gardens for people who like horticultural activities or just want to enjoy some fresh air, plus there are sidewalks and park-like areas for easy walks. Residents get help from staff programs like Expressions Concierge for arranging things like dining reservations or getting help with tickets or flowers, and if someone wants to see what living there is like, staff encourage people to set up a tour-either in person or virtually-so families can meet the Impressions staff, see the rooms, and talk to the residents. There are resources for families like caregiving support, planning tools, and a glossary, and they share stories through projects like "Time to Get Ready" and "Real Residents, Real Stories" to help families understand what to expect. TerraBella Epps Bridge has a person-centered approach and offers care that supports both independence and community, and people say it's a warm place where you can feel at ease, whether you want to be very social with all the activities or just quietly enjoy the gardens.
