ALF BC BETHESDA LLC — Assisted Living in Palm Bay, Florida

Alf Bc Bethesda LLC is a 109-bed assisted living facility in Palm Bay, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 5 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 12 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing. It accepts the Medicaid Assisted Living waiver and VA benefits. It has operated under Alf Bc Bethesda, LLC for about 14 years.

Serious findings are the dominant driver of this low score, reflecting high-severity citations and state enforcement actions on the facility record. Recurring problems have centered on resident care, staff training, records, medication handling, admissions, and staffing standards; many past citations were corrected but some enforcement-level issues remain open and the inspection pattern shows persistent problems rather than clear improvement.
