Inspection Report Summary for Terrace Ridge Assisted Living

The most recent inspection on October 15, 2025, found deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to implement physician’s orders for discontinuing certain medications. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including medication administration errors, lack of proper supervision of residents with wandering behaviors, and problems with therapeutic diet management. Prior reports also noted physical plant deficiencies involving fire safety and building code compliance, though these were unrelated to care practices. Complaint investigations were conducted in 2024 concerning wandering and elopement incidents, with findings supporting some supervision and safety concerns. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with medication management and resident safety, with no clear improvement trend in these areas.
