A Home Away From Home Alf INC is a 6-bed assisted living facility in Miami, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 3 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 6 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. It accepts Medicaid. It has operated under A Home Away From Home Alf, INC. for about 21 years.

Serious findings are present and weigh heavily in this facility s AHCA record, and the facility has also been subject to state enforcement actions. The survey history shows recurring problems in records, training, resident care, medication, physical plant, and food service; most past citations have been corrected but a small number remain open and several complaint investigations were substantiated. Recent inspections have shown repeated or increased citations in those same care areas, so the overall trend appears steady to worsening rather than improving.
