The regulatory record spans ten years with serious deficiencies in resident safety, medication management, therapeutic diet compliance, and facility maintenance. Over six years, Terrace Ridge logged 39 deficiencies, averaging 6.5 annually, 25 percent worse than North Carolina’s 5.2-deficiency benchmark. An October 14, 2015, construction survey cited eight deficiencies in water supply, HVAC, sprinkler maintenance, fire-resistant construction, corridor doors, exit signage, emergency lighting, and ventilation. An October 18, 2017, construction survey cited nine deficiencies in closet fire protection, ceiling gaps, escutcheon plates, pipe caulking, smoke walls, cable penetrations, smoke doors, and exhaust.
A November 14, 2019, construction survey cited ten deficiencies in fire-resistant construction, grab bars, fire rehearsals, emergency lighting, kitchen hood system, electrical outlets, gaps, smoke doors, sprinkler escutcheon plates, and blocked doors. A September 16, 2022, annual survey cited three deficiencies in therapeutic diet documentation, diet service, and medication observation. A March 13, 2024, annual survey and complaint investigation substantiated serious resident safety failures: failure to ensure exit doors had audible alarms for residents with wandering behaviors resulting in elopements, failure to properly supervise two residents with exit-seeking behaviors resulting in elopements and substantial risk of harm, failure to provide therapeutic diet menus for consistent carbohydrate diets, failure to serve ordered therapeutic diets, failure to administer medications as ordered with unapproved medication and improper preparation and borrowing. An October 15, 2025, annual survey cited two deficiencies in failure to implement physician discontinuation orders for two medications.
No fines or license suspensions are records.
The facility’s 2-star CMS rating and 25 percent worse-than-average deficiency rate reflect serious operational failures. The March 2024 substantiated elopement incidents involving residents with dementia and failure to provide audible alarms on exit doors represent critical patient safety breaches with documented substantial harm risk.
Before placement, families must ask directly about the March 2024 elopements and current exit door alarm systems, resident supervision protocols, and medication administration safeguards.
