Terry Home Auburn

The August 2025 inspection identified nine fire and life safety violations at Terry Home Auburn, including blocked electrical panels, propped and non-latching fire doors, incomplete sprinkler system documentation and insufficient spare heads, missing smoke detector sensitivity testing, obstructed exits, and incomplete fire drill records. While these violations represent a pattern of non-compliance with life safety systems and documentation requirements, none posed immediate jeopardy to residents. The facility responded appropriately by correcting all violations, as confirmed by the January 2026 follow-up inspection showing full compliance and approved status.

The facility had multiple procedural violations including failure to document medication administration for 2 residents, one staff member working with expired certification and incomplete continuing education, a pet walking on a dining table that was not sanitized before meal service, and improper infection control during laundry handling. The facility conducted timely investigations, implemented corrective actions including staff retraining and monitoring systems, and all deficiencies were verified as corrected during the follow-up inspection on 03/31/2025, demonstrating a commitment to compliance and resident safety.

The facility had multiple fire safety code violations including missing documentation for required testing and maintenance of life safety systems (sprinklers, emergency lighting, fire drills), improper use of extension cords, and equipment failures. While no immediate resident harm occurred, the pattern of non-compliance across fire detection, suppression, and egress systems presented elevated safety risks. The facility responded appropriately by correcting all violations within 45 days, as confirmed by the follow-up inspection on 07/31/2023 showing full compliance and approval status restored.
