What Does the State Inspection Record Show?
You should read this before you tour. Woodland Terrace held 3 stars from 2016 into 2024, dropped to 1 star in July 2026, and returned to 3 stars in September 2026. In May 2026, inspectors found that two residents with dementia had walked out of the assisted living building, one at about 3 a.m., because the front doors only alarmed when a resident wearing a wander bracelet came near. They also found repeated sexual encounters involving memory care residents over several weeks, including unwanted touching of other residents, and the community had not put the one to one supervision its own policy required in place. The state cited the door alarms as a Type A2 violation and the supervision failures as a Type A1 violation, its two most serious categories, plus a related Type B violation.
In 2024 the state also cited a serious violation after a staff member dragged a resident down a hallway and other staff didn't step in or report it right away. An August 2026 follow up visit found no deficiencies, the rating returned to 3 stars in September 2026, and the state shows no fines in the past three years. You can read every report on the state inspection page for Woodland Terrace.
