Safety of Rural Nebraskans First with USDA
The city of Peru currently utilizes a 2004 Ford/Wheeled Coach ambulance as its primary and a 1991 Ford/Wheeled Coach as the back-up. The 1991 model has reached the end of its useful life. The 2004 model is two-wheel drive making it treacherous in bad weather, reducing the response time to emergency calls or accessing a medical facility.
USDA Meeting the Health Care Needs of Nebraskans
Henderson Health Care Services' long term care facility, built in 1960, had reached the end of its useful life. The electrical and mechanical systems were failing and out of date. Electrical and data line infrastructure was an issue due to the advancement of modern technology and equipment. The facility was not Americans with Disabilities Act compliant. Resident bathrooms were too small to accommodate mechanical lifts for residents and for staff to assist them. Due to the outdated mechanical systems, proper temperature control and air exchange could not be achieved.
