Overview of Tequesta Terrace
Tequesta Terrace is a 106-bed assisted living community located in Tequesta, Florida, on North U.S. One in a very walkable neighborhood where most daily errands can be handled on foot. The community operates as Tequesta Opco, LLC, under the administration of Crystal Collier. With 24 years of operation, the home offers both one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans across a three-story building, providing options for residents seeking either private or shared accommodations.
The facility’s inspection history shows a clear trajectory of improvement. Early inspections between 2017 and 2019 identified deficiencies in staffing, training, risk management, and background screening. More recent inspection activity demonstrates meaningful progress, with one routine inspection finding only a single Class 3 deficiency related to resident care rights and facility procedures, and another inspection recording no deficiencies and no substantiated complaints. This pattern suggests the community has focused on strengthening its operations over time.
The location in downtown Tequesta offers residents and visiting family convenient access to local services and amenities within walking distance. Families considering the home will find the neighborhood character and walkability particularly advantageous for maintaining active engagement with the broader community.
