Staffing Rating
Yamato Nursing And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each tell you something different about the facility. The health inspection rating, also 2 stars, is the most significant driver here. It reflects findings from state inspections, and a below-average score means inspectors cited the facility for a number of issues, or more serious ones, than what you'd typically see elsewhere. That's worth paying attention to, since inspections are an outside set of eyes on how the facility actually operates day to day. On the brighter side, staffing earns 4 stars, which is above average. This means residents are getting more nurse time relative to the number of people living there, and that can make a real difference in how quickly staff respond to needs and how attentive care feels. The quality measures rating lands at 3 stars, right at average, based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes like wound care, mobility, and medication management. When you put it all together, the staffing picture is genuinely encouraging, but the low health inspection score pulls the overall rating down considerably, and for good reason. Families should ask the facility directly about what was cited during recent inspections, whether those issues have been corrected, and what steps management has taken since. Strong staffing is a real asset, but it matters most when the broader systems and oversight are also working well.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing aide care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends? 2. How long have your nursing staff been working here, and what is your average turnover rate for aides and nurses over the past year? 3. If my loved one has a fall or a medical concern in the middle of the night, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff find out. 4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited? 5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who is mobile and social, compared to one who spends most of their time in their room? 6. If my loved one is unhappy here or feels their needs are not being met, what is the process for raising a complaint, and who outside of this facility can they contact?

About CMS Star Ratings

CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.

A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
