SUNSHINE HARBOR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY — Assisted Living in Port Charlotte, Florida
Sunshine Harbor Assisted Living Facility is a 6-bed assisted living facility in Port Charlotte, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 64 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. It accepts VA benefits. It has operated under Bubbsh LLC Dba Sunshine Harbor Alf for about 7 years.
Serious findings are present and an active state enforcement action remains on the facility record, which is the primary reason the score is reduced. The facility has been repeatedly cited for records, staff training, medication handling, and staffing standards but those citations have been corrected and recent inspections show fewer deficiencies than earlier reviews, indicating an improving trend despite the standing enforcement.
