Harbor Terrace Senior Living
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Harbor Terrace Senior Living has received a Trust Grade of C, which means it is considered average and in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. Since there are no rankings available for the facility in Michigan or Muskegon County, it is difficult to compare its performance to others in the area. The facility is new and has not had any reported issues, suggesting that it is stable at this time. Staffing is a strength, with a turnover rate of 0%, which is well below the state average, indicating that staff members are likely to stay long-term and build relationships with residents. Additionally, there have been no fines reported, which is a positive sign, but it's important to remain cautious as it is still early in their operational history. Overall, while the facility shows some strengths, families should consider the lack of rankings and performance history when making their decision.

Do Nurses at Harbor Terrace Senior Living Stick Around?
Harbor Terrace Senior Living has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Harbor Terrace Senior Living Ever Fined?
Harbor Terrace Senior Living 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 Harbor Terrace Senior Living on Any Federal Watch List?
Harbor Terrace Senior Living 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.
