Harrison Terrace: Behavior Care Plan Failures - IN
Inspectors cited both failures during a complaint-driven survey completed September 8, 2025.
The violations trace back to two separate complaints filed against the facility. Inspectors found that care plans were not being started when residents displayed behavioral expressions that rose to the level of concern, and were not being started when a prescriber placed a resident on a psychotropic drug.
The gap matters because care plans are how direct-care staff know what to do. Without one, a nursing assistant walking into a room has no written guidance on what has worked before, what to avoid, or what the resident actually needs in that moment. The inspection record notes that interventions are supposed to be individualized and non-pharmacological, addressing both how to prevent a behavioral episode and how to respond once one begins.
For residents on psychotropic medications, the care plan is also supposed to name the specific symptom or behavior the prescriber was targeting. Without that documentation, staff have no way to track whether the drug is working or whether the behavior it was meant to treat has changed.
Inspectors noted the facility's own corrective plan called for educating direct care staff on interventions identified through its interdisciplinary team review process. That education, the record implies, had not been happening in any consistent way before the survey.
Harrison Terrace sits at 1924 Wellesley Blvd in Indianapolis. The inspection was triggered by complaints, not a routine visit, meaning someone had already raised concerns before inspectors arrived. The deficiency was rated as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting a small number of residents.
The residents affected remain at the facility. Whether their care plans have since been written is not reflected in the inspection record.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
