Azalea Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center is a 66-bed assisted living facility in Tallahassee, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 69 out of 100 (Mixed record), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 1 serious (Class 1 or 2) violation. The record also includes 2 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing, extended congregate care (ECC), limited nursing services (LNS). It has operated under Tallahassee Care Group LLC for about 8 years.

Serious findings are present on the facility record and drive the lower score, reflecting enforcement-level concerns that weigh more heavily than routine citations. Inspections have repeatedly flagged resident care issues, though recent deficiency citations have been corrected and the inspection trend looks improving; past state sanctions and some substantiated complaints remain on the record and limit the overall rating.
