TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Terrace at Solarbron has a Trust Grade of F, indicating poor performance with significant concerns about care quality. It ranks #390 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the bottom half of the state, and #10 out of 17 in Vanderburgh County, meaning only a few local options are worse. The facility is trending towards improvement, having reduced issues from five in 2024 to three in 2025, but it still faces serious staffing challenges with a 66% turnover rate, significantly higher than the state average. While there are no fines recorded, there are concerning incidents, including a resident who fell and fractured an ankle due to improper use of a sit-to-stand lift and another resident who fractured a femur because adequate supervision was not provided. Additionally, RN coverage is below average, which could impact the quality of care residents receive, although the facility does have good quality measures overall.

About This Facility
What is Terrace At Solarbron The's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within Indiana, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Terrace At Solarbron The Staffed?
CMS rates TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 66%, which is 20 percentage points above the Indiana average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 64%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Terrace At Solarbron The?
State health inspectors documented 36 deficiencies at TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE during 2022 to 2025. These included: 2 that caused actual resident harm, 32 with potential for harm, and 2 minor or isolated issues. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates Terrace At Solarbron The?
TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE is owned by a government entity. Government-operated facilities are typically run by state, county, or municipal agencies. The facility is operated by CARDON & ASSOCIATES, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 91 certified beds and approximately 75 residents (about 82% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in EVANSVILLE, Indiana.
How Does Terrace At Solarbron The Compare to Other Indiana Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Indiana, TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (66%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Terrace At Solarbron The?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Terrace At Solarbron The Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Indiana. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Terrace At Solarbron The Stick Around?
Staff turnover at TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE is high. At 66%, the facility is 20 percentage points above the Indiana average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 64%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Terrace At Solarbron The Ever Fined?
TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Terrace At Solarbron The on Any Federal Watch List?
TERRACE AT SOLARBRON THE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
