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.
