A PLACE LIKE HOME ALF, INC — Assisted Living in Palm Bay, Florida
A Place Like Home Alf, INC is a 6-bed assisted living facility in Palm Bay, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 12 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 1 serious (Class 1 or 2) violation. The record also includes 4 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care. It accepts Medicaid and VA benefits. It has operated under A Place Like Home Alf INC for about 17 years.
Serious findings are present and weigh heavily on the score, reflected by past state enforcement actions and multiple substantiated complaints. Inspections repeatedly flagged resident care, admissions, staff training, medication handling, records, and background-screening attestation; the facility has corrected cited deficiencies during follow-up inspections and recent surveys show fewer citations than earlier ones, though the ongoing enforcement history and substantiated complaints keep the overall picture constrained.
