Our read on Terrace View Long Term Care Facility
Terrace View is a 390-bed county-run home in Buffalo, and its numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing runs 4.28 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, which matters at this size, but weekends drop roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder part: 18 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $30,843. The last inspection was August 2024. County ownership can mean steady funding; it doesn't erase those findings.
