Meadowview Terrace of Wadesboro

Meadowview Terrace of Wadesboro is a 60-bed assisted living and secured living community at 123 Anson High School Road, Wadesboro, Anson County, North Carolina,, rated 3 out of 5 overall by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation, and ranked 40th (tied) among 138 homes statewide. Secured living, 24-hour staffing, and memory care are confirmed; Medicaid is accepted and Medicare is not. Current occupancy is 50 of 60 beds (83 percent), above the North Carolina average of 76.4 percent.

Fourteen inspections spanning September 2015 through March 2025 yield an average of 9.3 deficiencies per year, 79 percent above the North Carolina benchmark of 5.2. The record is long enough to see patterns: the facility has struggled persistently with building maintenance, fire safety compliance, medication errors, and supervision.

Most alarming is a substantiated August 2020 complaint investigation documenting a resident with dementia left outside unsupervised for 3 to 4 hours in summer heat; the resident developed heat stroke with a rectal temperature of 107 degrees and blisters and died shortly after transfer to hospice. Recent inspections show medication errors continuing: the December 2024 annual inspection found a 7 percent medication error rate including failure to prime insulin pens, improper inhaler administration, administering medications despite blood pressure parameters, and administering discontinued medications; the medication aide staff also lacked required state exam passage and prior Health Care Personnel Registry verification.

Physical plant issues persist across the entire timeline: the December 2024 inspection cited flashing bathroom lights in 6 bathrooms, missing drain flanges with jagged tile creating tripping hazards, a kitchen exit door unable to be securely closed, a garbage disposal non-functional with food buildup, water temperatures 62 to 98 degrees instead of the required 100-116 degree range, and ice machine contamination and non-operation for over 6 months. The February 2024 biennial follow-up found a prohibited portable electric heater in use and unfirestopped pipe penetrations through fire-resistant ceilings, indicating persistent code violations.

A July 2023 biennial follow-up still documented broken glass in a front door covered with cardboard, buckling concrete slabs, and closed radiation dampers preventing bathroom exhaust. However, a December 2024 biennial construction follow-up confirmed all previously cited building deficiencies corrected with zero new findings, suggesting recent corrective action traction.

No fines or enforcement actions appear in the available record.

Wadesboro is a small town in Anson County’s Piedmont region; FirstHealth of the Carolinas offers regional acute-care resources.
