Home Sweet Home A.l.f. is a 9-bed assisted living facility in Chipley, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 50 out of 100 (Notable 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. It accepts Medicaid. It has operated under Fleda Brown for about 7 years.

Serious findings are present and weigh heavily on the score, and the facility’s record includes a state enforcement action that remains part of its public history. Recurring problems have centered on resident care, staff training, admissions practices, records, limited mental health supports, and background-screening, and although cited deficiencies have been corrected and recent surveys show fewer and smaller findings, the pattern of repeated issues means the overall trend is improving but still notable.
