The Terrace is scheduled to lose federal funding because of repeated citations for safety and infection control problems, and is at risk for closure without a state takeover.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
The state's takeover of The Terrace nursing home in Crystal has significant implications for the local community, particularly for families with loved ones residing in the facility. With the loss of federal funding looming due to repeated safety and infection control issues, the seizure ensures that residents will continue to receive necessary care. This move also underscores the need for increased oversight and accountability in local nursing homes to prevent similar situations from arising in the future. The potential closure of The Terrace would have left a significant gap in the area's healthcare infrastructure, exacerbating the existing challenges in finding quality care for the elderly in Hennepin County. As the state assumes control, residents and their families will be watching closely to see how the new management addresses the longstanding problems and works to restore a safe and healthy environment.
