MERIDIAN AT BRANDON THE — Assisted Living in Tampa, Florida
Meridian at Brandon the is a 156-bed assisted living facility in Tampa, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 17 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 3 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing, limited nursing services (LNS). It has operated under Brandon Opco LLC for about 4 years.
Serious enforcement findings are the primary driver of the low score, with the facility having received state sanctions and formal enforcement actions on its record. Inspections repeatedly flagged training shortcomings, care for residents with Alzheimer disease and dementia, and general resident care; while cited deficiencies have been formally corrected, the pattern of increasingly numerous findings on recent surveys suggests performance has been worsening rather than improving.
