Overview of Terrace Ridge Assisted Living

Facebook

Terrace Ridge Assisted Living sits at 1251 East Hudson Boulevard in Gastonia, North Carolina. It offers assisted living and memory care under one roof. The address puts it about two miles out from Gastonia’s city center, which keeps visits from turning into an ordeal for family who live locally.

Seventy-four beds places this community in the middle of the size range for North Carolina assisted living residences. Communities at this scale usually carry more shared programming than a small residential home would. They also stay small enough that staff and residents are not strangers to each other.

When a resident’s memory needs shift, having both levels licensed in the same building can mean the difference between an internal adjustment and a full relocation. Terrace Ridge describes its memory care as coming with events, activities, and family resources.

The neighborhood scores 46 out of 100, which the rating puts in the somewhat walkable category. Some nearby services are reachable on foot. Most trips will still need a car or a scheduled ride, so plan around that.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation oversees this community. Inspection themes on record center on medication management and fire-safety systems. What the record supports is a mid-sized community offering two care levels in a car-dependent part of Gastonia, with inspection attention falling on medication handling and fire-safety systems.
