Tender Care Alf is a 13-bed assisted living facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 93 out of 100 (Strong record), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings.

The facility has a comparatively clean AHCA record with no serious findings or enforcement actions, which is the main reason for its strong CareQED score.
