TerraBella Harrisburg
3.2

There definitely is not enough staff during certain hours. I know everybody is having problems with getting employees, but especially on the weekends, there's not enough coverage. Most of the staff are good. Some of them need additional training. The décor is nice, although the facility needs some updating. They're currently going through a renovation and replacing the carpet, etc. They have someone who goes around and cleans the rooms on a daily basis, which is adequate.

The care services Brookdale Union provides are great, however it is a more expensive community. Before COVID they had activities like arts and crafts, and they would also bring in a preacher. The rooms at this community are pretty nice.

The staff was very friendly and the feeling we got when we toured was very comfortable and I think I would like to be here if I need senior living. Communication was very good and if there are any issues they will call and let me know immediatly I would recommend the community to others.
