Bella Groves

Bella Groves is more than just a memory care facility—it is a place of love, compassion, and true dedication. When our family faced one of the most challenging times in our lives following my dad’s diagnosis with Lewy Body Dementia, Bella Groves became a place of refuge for our family – to both care for him deeply and to allow us time to enjoy him. From the moment my dad arrived, the caregivers embraced him with warmth and kindness. They didn’t just see him as a resident; they saw him as family. Their deep care, patience, and unwavering support made all the difference—not only for my dad but for all of us. They walked alongside us through every step of this difficult journey, offering comfort, understanding, and genuine love. We will forever be grateful for the way they cherished and honored him. It is a very tough decision to move your loved one into memory care. It broke our heart and made us feel like we were giving up. Our family toured several memory care facilities, and only Bella Groves felt like a home with a family. Once we moved my dad into Bella Groves, we quickly realized that it was not only the right decision, but that it was also an excellent decision. They cared for my dad more than we could as we were worn out with physical and emotional exhaustion. Getting reprieve from the heaviness of caregiving, we were now able to completely enjoy Dad. My mom, sister, and I rotated visits so that he had one to three visits every day. We built friendships with the entire staff as well as the other residents and their families. My children developed friendships with the staff that were filled with hugs and laughter. We interacted with the other residents as if they were part of our extended family. During this season, Bella Groves was our second home, and we could not be more grateful. The facility itself is thoughtfully designed to feel like home. From the inviting living spaces with comfortable couches and chairs to the shared meals and engaging activities, every aspect is created to foster a sense of community and belonging. It was reassuring to know my dad was in a place where he felt safe, valued, and surrounded by people who truly cared. Bella Groves is a special place, made extraordinary by the people who work there. They were not just caregivers—they were family members, providing dignity and respect to those in their care. Bella Groves is truly a memory care facility that offers not just excellent care but also an environment filled with love and understanding. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank the entire team at Bella Groves for loving our dad as if he were their own and supporting our family through the hardest of times. We will always hold them close in our hearts with gratitude.

I think most of us have heard our own parents tell us from an early age that what is most important is "what's on the inside". This phrase reigns true for Bella Groves as I had the opportunity to visit their community and witness sincere love between residents, care team members, and even their very friendly house dog Nera. Warm and inviting are two words that describe their physical presence. It is a beautiful well designed community, but more importantly, is their unique approach within their core philosophy to provide high quality care and purpose for their residents. They meet their residents where "they are" in their progression with memory loss and that is a very big deal when it's your mom, or your dad, or your family loved one. The Bella Groves team, in my opinion approaches care from a "help, care, coach, love" perspective versus a "fix" perspective, and when people take that approach, a happy lifestyle, every day, is still possible for everyone!

I have had the privilege of volunteering at Bella Groves for a year and a half, and it has truly been an amazing experience. My six-year-old daughter and I have formed wonderful connections with the residents, sharing joy at parties and celebrations, playing games, doing crafts, and simply spending time together. The atmosphere here truly feels like a home and family. The staff are always engaged with the residents, personalizing their interactions in ways that bring joy to each one in different and meaningful ways. The staff’s dedication to the residents is clear in everything they do from the one on one attention to the beauty and cleanliness of the home. I love the fun and unique ways that they encourage each person to engage and share their own gifts. My daughter loves visiting and always looks forward to playing games with the residents who seem like so many grandparents to her. The kindness and friendship of the residents there has been such a blessing for her. Volunteering here has also been incredibly meaningful and educational for me, giving me a deeper understanding of dementia care and how it can be approached with love and compassion. If I ever face the need for dementia care for myself or my loved ones, there is no doubt in my mind that this would be the place I choose.

This is a beautiful home filled with love. The staff take wonderful care for each resident. Positive and patience is what each person receives. If I need this type of help in the future, this is where I would want to be.

Bella Groves and the staff are a blessing beyond expectations. Mom has been a resident since April 2024 and could not be more pleased with the care, love, dedication, and love shown by all. The amount of activities is amazing and it is always clean and safe. This concept should be copied in every community out there. We love it
