Inspection Reports for The Waters of Rockport Skilled Nursing Facility
815 W WASHINGTON ST, IN, 47635
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 27, 2025, identified a deficiency related to bedroom size requirements, with a continuing waiver approved for this issue. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies in resident care, medication management, and life safety code compliance, including issues with emergency preparedness, staffing documentation, and food temperature. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, notably involving pressure ulcer prevention, medication delivery failures, and safe discharge planning, though many complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly in safety and care documentation, with some improvements noted in life safety and emergency preparedness over time.
