HOWARD HOME CARE ALF INC — Assisted Living in Tampa, Florida
Howard Home Care Alf INC is a 8-bed assisted living facility in Tampa, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 68 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 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 Howard Home Care Alf INC for less than a year.
Serious enforcement findings are present and remain the dominant factor lowering the score, including a past state sanction and a substantiated complaint that reflect elevated concern. The facility’s citations repeatedly involved medication handling, staff training, resident records, and meeting staffing standards; the record shows those citations were later corrected and the most recent pattern looks to be improving overall, though the prior serious finding and sanction still weigh heavily.
