These are regulatory nursing-home ratings, not family-review scores. They do not rate assisted-living or independent-living services at the same campus or establish the right fit for one person.

How to read the different ratings

The saved records for Kulana Malama show a CMS overall nursing-home rating of 5/5 and these consumer-review ratings: Google 4.3/5 from 7 reviews (retrieved 2026-08-03). CMS combines health inspections, staffing and quality measures; consumer scores summarize the reviews submitted to that source. They answer different questions, so matching or differing stars do not establish whether this home can meet your loved one’s needs. CMS ratings apply to the certified nursing home, not other care services on the same campus. The CMS rating measurement date is not retained here; review retrieval dates are not the dates of every person’s experience. Check both current sources and ask about the unit and care you are considering.

Use inspection and staffing records to prepare care questions
Read the finding dates and correction information. Ask what changed, how it was checked and who would provide the help your loved one needs on each shift.
Use reviews to identify experiences to ask about
Read the original reviews and their dates. Ask which care setting the reviewer describes, whether concerns recur and how the community responded. Do not assume every reviewer is a resident or family member.
Bring the questions to the actual care unit
Ask staff to explain daily routines, help with meals and personal care, and how families can raise concerns. A score does not replace a visit or an assessment of care needs.
