American Life Adult Care Center INC is a 6-bed assisted living facility in Miami Lakes, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 60 out of 100 (Mixed record), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings.

It has operated under American Life Adult Care Center INC. for about 20 years.
Routine deficiencies rather than serious enforcement drive the score. The citations focused on records, medication handling, staffing standards, resident care, training and background screening; most were corrected and none remain open, but the most recent survey brought more routine citations than the prior few inspections so the short term trend looks slightly worse.
