LA COLONIA 1 ALF INC — Assisted Living in Cape Coral, Florida
La Colonia 1 Alf INC is a 6-bed assisted living facility in Cape Coral, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 4 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 5 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. It accepts the Medicaid Assisted Living waiver and VA benefits. It has operated under La Colonia 1 Alf, INC. for about 15 years.
Serious findings are present and are the primary reason for the very low score, with state enforcement actions contributing to the weight of that determination. Inspections repeatedly flagged staffing standards, admissions procedures, background screening clearinghouse issues, food service, medication management, and records, and while earlier citations in those areas have been corrected, the enforcement history and a recent serious finding keep the facility capped; the pattern of deficiencies has shown fewer issues in the most recent reviews, suggesting an improving trend.
