The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities based on three core domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Yuma Nursing Center holds an overall CMS rating of 4 stars, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating stands at 4 stars, also above the national average, reflecting the outcomes of state survey inspections conducted at the facility. The staffing rating is 3 stars, placing it at the national average for nurse and staff hours relative to resident census. The quality measure rating is 2 stars, which falls below the national average and is based on clinical data indicators such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, and other resident health outcomes. Yuma Nursing Center is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid coverage for long-term nursing home care is available for residents who meet Arizona state eligibility criteria. Families and individuals seeking information on specific payment arrangements or accepted insurance plans are encouraged to contact the facility directly. When compared against national benchmarks, Yuma Nursing Center presents a mixed profile. The overall 4-star rating and 4-star health inspection score both exceed the national average, indicating above-average performance in those categories. The 3-star staffing rating aligns with the national norm. The 2-star quality measure rating represents an area where the facility scores below the national average, which may be a relevant consideration for those reviewing clinical outcome data as part of a care decision. CMS star ratings are updated periodically and reflect data collected through inspections, payroll records, and resident assessments. These ratings are intended to serve as one reference point among multiple factors when evaluating a skilled nursing facility.
