About Nursing Home Care in Peru
The nursing home market in Peru, IL, offers families a mixed bag of options. The standout is MANOR COURT OF PERU, which boasts a Grade A and an impressive score of 93 with a 5-star CMS rating. While there is a decent facility available in town, the overall options are limited, so families should keep their expectations in check and consider nearby cities for more alternatives.
When considering facilities, MANOR COURT OF PERU is the clear choice due to its strong performance and clean track record—zero fines in recent years. Unfortunately, the other facility in town, ALLURE OF PERU, has raised significant concerns, including a hefty total of $70K in fines. If you’re willing to travel a little, you might find better facilities in nearby cities like La Salle or Oglesby, where options may be more favorable.
Families should skip ALLURE OF PERU entirely due to its financial penalties and questionable care standards. The fines indicate serious issues that could affect the quality of care your loved one receives. Always visit any facility in person and ask specific questions about staff turnover and resident satisfaction to gauge the environment before making a decision.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Peru, 1 facility scores a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
