Some looks never go out of style!! 🕶️ New residents at Bella Groves feel settled and comfortable much sooner than the average orientation period of traditional “memory care” homes. It’s not uncommon for people to take several months in facilities that don’t have a thoughtful approach. Our first 30-days with a new resident are themed around a singular concept: “trust.” [There are several stages for both the new resident AND their families who are also transitioning to a different way of caring for them and confronting newfound emotions.] It’s not about having new residents “adjust” to a new reality. This doesn’t work for a person living with dementia to try and convince them of something they don’t already know. Instead we focus on acknowledging, understanding, and joining them in their emotions to help them feel believed, reassured, and supported in THEIR reality. What experiences have you had with orienting to life and care support with a dementia care team?

Both of these lovely ladies are relatively new to Bella Groves. From our very first day of business, we have maintained a high staffing ratio (1 caregiver to every 4 residents). With a small home setting (maximum of 16 residents in each of our two homes), this staffing ratio is not easy to maintain. Here’s the remarkable thing, though, that is proving our case. Our team members have time to get to know our residents very well. Unlike other places where a small number of staff run around all day providing care and nothing else, residents never get to establish relationships. The narrative there is that someone with dementia can’t form new memories, friendships or relationships. So they focus on care only, and they have one activity director to fill in all the non-care/non-dining times. At BG, our care team spend meaningful amounts of time with residents and their connections are unmistakable. People will rise or fall to level of our level of belief in them. It may not be “science” but neither is faith. We can’t explain everything about what makes BG work the way it does. We commit our intentions every day, and our work is simply a reminder to keep going. “Love > dementia” is not just a clever marketing slogan. It’s our daily intention. 💜

Joy is so much more than a passing feeling. Joy is an ultimate expression of gratitude for life. It doesn’t just come to us. We must choose joy every day and keep choosing it again and again and again. It is not easy to choose joy when circumstances of life become difficult or unpredictable. We choose joy, not as a distraction from troubles but to lessen them. Our work at Bella Groves is as much a gift to ourselves as we hope it is for the families we support. The principle difference between us and a traditional “memory care facility” is that they see care as a one-direction, functional task - helping the less fortunate. At Bella Groves you witness an interrelated group of people - a communion of spirits - exchanging positive emotions and mindsets. We each receive joy, because we each GIVE joy. The beauty is not that we experienced joy. The beauty is that we chose it. “Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.” #unconditionaljoy #dementia #alzheimerscare #dementiacaregiver

Two of our own lead caregivers, Ariel and Kathy, were sponsored by Bella Groves to attend the Caregiver Conference in Round Rock by Engagement Through Education. Kathy has been a strong leader within our care team for nearly two years on the morning shift. Ariel was recently promoted into an official lead position for her dedication and commitment on our second shift. They are tasked with learning and bringing back knowledge and resources from the conference to help improve the lives of our residents, their families, and our fellow team member! As a respected thought leader in the senior living industry, James was invited to deliver the keynote presentation to kickoff the conference. As a frontline caregiver turned CEO, he has a unique lens of senior living and what it takes to grow, lead, and thrive. He delivered heartfelt stories of residents and gave practical advice and action steps toward growing their wealth, health, and legacy. We are so proud of all three of our representatives from Bella Groves! 💜💜💜

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

I cannot say enough about Bella Groves, the care the staff gives to every resident is exemplary. They all care for my mum as if she is their own family member, the activities they do keep the residents active and socializing. We looked at a number of facilities and within minutes of being in Bella Groves we knew this was a place that we could trust with my mums care and also a place she would feel at home in. I highly recommend to anyone seeking quality and loving care for their loved ones I am so grateful to have found Bella Groves.

My wife is suffering from a form of Parkinsons and dementia and I knew that eventually she would have to have more care than I could provide with daily caregivers and me. I visited various homes and was so sad coming out from them knowing that she could not be a part of that. THEN we found Bella Groves in Bulverde and came out feeling joy and happiness. She has been there now for 3 months and has settled in well with the best ratio of caregivers to residents. I highly recommend this facility for people with dementia and related illnesses. Bella Groves will spread joy and meaning to their lives with the approaches they have and out of the box ideas they introduce. You will not regret it.

I simply love Bella Groves! My mom had lived in 6 different care facilities between Minnesota and Texas over the past 18 months. When I found James Lee and the entire staff at Bella Groves, I knew we had found the right fit. She has been living at Bella Groves since early October 2023, and the difference it has made in all of our lives is profound! I consider this group of people a true extension of my own family, and the care they provide to my mom is leaps and bounds better than any other place she has lived. Bella Groves provides a safe, warm, bright, fun, stimulating, family-like setting where my mom feels independent and comfortable. I wish we had found them sooner, but had we not experienced the other six options, we truly wouldn't appreciate the amazing environment she has now. I recommend them without hesitation or question!

I've worked in the field of senior living/dementia care marketing for a decade. Bella Groves is special. That's not to say there aren't other fine organizations out there, but you'll be hard pressed to find one that exceeds Bella Groves. Co-founder James Lee is as authentic an individual as you'll ever encounter. He's the real deal and his vision for Bella Groves is, too. If I had a loved one impacted by a dementia diagnosis there isn't even a question who I'd call if I lived in the area. Peace of mind. You can't quantify it. Bella Groves delivers it.

Bella Groves has offered my mom a safe loving environment with personal attention and care. The staff to resident ratio, fun outings, parties, karaoke, piano nights and family involvement are a few things that make Bella Groves so unique. Not only have they been a blessing to my mom, they have graciously educated and supported me as I learn about dementia.

Bella Groves is a beautiful retirement community where older individuals who are living with dementia can find a loving home and support group. We have had the opportunity to partner together with Bella Groves to give these residents an opportunity to build a small wood craft at our shop, The Vintage Barn. Both Kayla Dudley, who works directly with these residents, and James Lee, the owner of Bella Groves, have showed professionalism and kindness to their residents as they seek to find activities that would make their lives more meaningful. We have had many fun scheduled events together here at The Vintage Barn where we have had the chance to get to know and love these residents. Bella Groves does a fantastic job of helping make the lives of their residents like family.
