Staffing Rating
Palace at Kendall Nursing and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate scores, and this facility performs strongly across all of them. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious issues here than at most facilities - that is a good sign that the building is being run carefully and safely. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, which tells you nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than the typical facility, so your loved one is less likely to feel overlooked or have to wait long for help. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning that across 15 clinical indicators - things like how well the facility prevents infections, manages pain, avoids falls, and maintains residents' physical functioning - this facility ranks among the very best in the country.
When you put it all together, the 5-star overall rating reflects a facility that is doing nearly everything right. The slight step down to 4 stars in inspections and staffing is still well above average and nothing alarming - it simply means there is a small amount of room for improvement in those areas. But a perfect score in quality measures is the most meaningful piece for many families, because it speaks directly to what residents actually experience in terms of their health and day-to-day physical wellbeing. Overall, this is a facility with a genuinely strong track record that families can feel confident about.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and does that number change on evenings and weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what does turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a fall or a medical concern overnight, what is the process for notifying our family, and how quickly does that happen?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical weekday looks like for a resident, from morning until bedtime, including meals, activities, and any downtime?
5. How do you handle a resident who refuses care, becomes confused, or gets agitated, and who on staff is trained to manage those situations?
6. Has this facility received any citations or deficiencies from state inspections in the past two years, and where can I see those records for myself?

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.
