The Terraces Earns Deficiency Free Survey | When you have a Deficiency Free Survey, this means the state surveyors found zero deficiencies in your building. The survey is unannounced and conducted over a three-day period, interviews are also conducted with associates, members, and families. Skill nursing was in total compliance with state and federal regulations regarding patient care and staffing. This is very difficult to obtain, most administrators do not get a deficiency free survey in their entire career. This is a team approach; we provide the highest level of care. A survey includes a rigorous examination of the quality of care, quality of life, medical records, medication administration, staff competencies, dietary sanitation and dietary needs, equipment safety, resident rights and a full in-depth assessment of facility practices and procedures. The Terraces Skilled Nursing have not had a survey since October 2020. | |
