Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon, INC is a 350-bed assisted living facility in Miami, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings.

It has operated under Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon, INC. for about 32 years.
Serious enforcement findings are present and drive the score, reflecting high‑severity problems that prompted formal sanctions.
