HOMESTEAD RETIREMENT HOME — Assisted Living in Saint Cloud, Florida
Homestead Retirement Home is a 35-bed assisted living facility in Saint Cloud, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 5 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 6 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. It accepts Medicaid. It has operated under Paramount Alf, INC for about 10 years.
Serious enforcement findings are present and drive the low score, reflecting sustained regulatory concerns that go beyond routine citations. The facility has repeatedly drawn deficiencies in staffing standards, resident care, limited mental health services, background screening, the physical plant, and food service; many past citations have been corrected but a notable share remain open and recent inspections continue to show multiple deficiencies, indicating a steady pattern rather than clear improvement.
