CARING HEART TAMPA LLC — Assisted Living in Brandon, Florida
Caring Heart Tampa LLC is a 79-bed assisted living facility in Brandon, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 56 out of 100 (Notable concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records show no serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 1 state sanction or final order, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include 24-hour on-site nursing. It accepts Medicaid and VA benefits. It has operated under Caring Heart Tampa LLC for about 1 year.
Routine deficiencies drive the score rather than serious enforcement actions, reflecting multiple relatively minor citations recorded over the facility's inspection history. These citations repeatedly touched resident care, staffing standards, staff training, the physical plant, records, and medication procedures; most were later corrected and recent inspections show a quieter, improving pattern compared with an earlier cluster of citations.
