Terrabella Asheboro

2925 Zoo Pkwy, Asheboro, NC 27205
Overview of Terrabella Asheboro

Opened four years ago, Terrabella Asheboro is a 96-bed assisted living and memory care community in the Laurel Wood Hills neighborhood of Asheboro, a car-dependent area at the outskirts of town. The one-story building offers both studio and one-bedroom floor plans. It welcomes pets to let residents keep their companions with them.

The facility sits on Zoo Parkway, with easy access to the Asheboro Zoo and associated recreational areas. Since the surrounding neighborhood is largely residential with limited pedestrian infrastructure, visiting family members will want transportation. The walk score reflects this car-centric setting. The home’s relatively recent opening positions it as a newer option in the Asheboro market, and the presence of assisted living and memory care services means it can serve occupants across care levels in one place.

Over the past decade, state inspections have documented findings about medication administration and documentation practices. Recent surveys flagged concerns with accurate dosing and controlled-substance record-keeping.

Families contemplating Terrabella Asheboro must ask during tours about how it has addressed compliance areas and what safeguards are implemented for medication oversight.

Overview of The Sanctuary at Stonehaven

The Sanctuary at Stonehaven provides memory care at 6741 Ciscayne Pl in Charlotte’s Mecklenburg County, a six-resident facility housed in a single-story building designed for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The small community emphasizes specialized staffing trained in cognitive impairment, with higher caregiver-to-resident ratios supporting residents requiring memory care oversight and supervision.

Daily life includes dining, beauty services, recreational and exercise programming, health services, and housekeeping assistance. Transportation services help families navigate medical appointments and errands, though the neighborhood itself is car-dependent (Walk Score 3); the facility sits 7.7 miles from downtown Charlotte, placing it near regional healthcare but in a low-walkability area.

The facility’s regulatory record shows significant strengths. Across seven state inspections since 2018, it recorded nine deficiencies; 80% fewer than the North Carolina state average of 46 over the same period. The facility’s DHSR quality score of 103.5 exceeds the state average of 98.

No fines, enforcement actions, or immediate jeopardy findings appear in the regulatory record.

However, inspection reports identify a persistent pattern: medication management and staff training deficiencies have appeared across multiple years (2018, 2019, 2021) without demonstrated full resolution. The most recent 2021 inspection documented expired staff CPR certification and a missed medication dose spanning 60 days. Earlier inspections cited medication labeling, documentation, storage, and physician order implementation gaps. The trajectory shows no clear improvement or decline.

This community fits families seeking a small, highly supervised memory care setting where residents receive individualized attention in a contained environment, with regulatory oversight showing notably lower deficiency rates than average.
