The CMS awarded Yamato Nursing and Rehabilitation Center an overall rating of 2 out of 5. This figure falls below the state average rating of 3.3 for Florida nursing homes.

According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the number of older adults in the United States is rising, while the population of younger groups is declining. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The country’s older population has grown dramatically since 1920, from 4.9 million to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that roughly 28 million people, or nearly half of older adults, are likely to need long-term services and supports. Furthermore, projections indicate that over one-third may eventually need nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
