Inspection Report Summary for The Waters of Peru Skilled Nursing Facility
The most recent inspection on April 9, 2025, was a complaint investigation and found no deficiencies related to the allegations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving Life Safety Code issues such as smoke alarm replacement, sprinkler maintenance, and door hardware, as well as resident care concerns including care planning, infection control, and proper use of equipment. Complaint investigations were consistently unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Prior Life Safety Code deficiencies were addressed with corrective actions and plans of correction, and the facility demonstrated compliance in subsequent revisits. The overall trend suggests improvement in Life Safety Code compliance, although some resident care and environmental issues were noted in the mid-2024 annual survey.
