CareQED Analysis

Harmony Waterloo is a 88-bed nursing home in Waterloo, Iowa. It holds a 2-star CMS overall rating. Total nurse staffing is 3.8 hours per resident day, below the Iowa average of 3.8. Its most recent inspection, in January 2026, cited 6 deficiencies, none of them severe. CMS has flagged this facility with an abuse icon.

A relative plus is that the most recent inspection did not find any severe deficiencies, which suggests problems identified were not judged to be the highest level. That said, the presence of an abuse flag and multiple citations touching on medication safety, basic care and infection prevention are a clear area to ask the facility about.
