Our read on Arizona State Veteran Home - Yuma

The Arizona State Veteran Home in Yuma runs 80 certified beds and puts 5.58 nursing hours behind each resident every day, roughly 44 percent above the national average of 3.86. That staffing shows up in its four-star rating, though weekends dip about 11 percent below its own weekday coverage. The inspection side is where it gets less comfortable. Eight deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. Its health inspection rating is 2 out of 5, and the most recent survey was September 20, 2024. State-run ownership with that much daily nursing time is a genuine strength. The abuse-related findings and the thin inspection score are the parts worth asking about directly.
