LIVING THE DREAM ALF LLC — Assisted Living in Homestead, Florida
Living the Dream Alf LLC is a 6-bed assisted living facility in Homestead, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 1 serious (Class 1 or 2) violation. The record also includes 8 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. It accepts Medicaid and VA benefits. It has operated under Living the Dream Alf LLC for about 2 years.
Serious enforcement drives this score because the facility has active state sanctions and recent inspections that included serious findings. Recurring problems focus on training, records, background screening, staffing standards, emergency environmental control, and resident care; although prior citations have been corrected, the pattern of repeat findings alongside ongoing sanctions suggests a steady to worsening compliance trend rather than sustained improvement.
