AMBIANCE AT BRANDON — Assisted Living in Brandon, Florida
Ambiance at Brandon is a 146-bed assisted living facility in Brandon, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 35 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 1 state sanction or final order, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care. It has operated under Brandon Almc Operator, LLC for less than a year.
Serious findings are present and weigh heavily, including a past state enforcement action on record. The facility has repeatedly been cited in resident care and medication practices, with additional issues in records and admissions, and while most past citations have been corrected a handful remain open; recent inspections continue to show multiple deficiencies so the trend looks steady rather than clearly improving.
