VILLA ESMERALDA ALF — Assisted Living in Miami, Florida
Villa Esmeralda Alf is a 6-bed assisted living facility in Miami, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 28 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 3 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 3 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. It accepts Medicaid. It has operated under Villa Maria I La Fe, INC. for about 17 years.
Serious findings are present on the facility's AHCA record and they drive the low score, with an enforcement history still reflected in public actions. The inspections repeatedly flagged resident care, staffing standards, records, physical plant, admissions and medication practices; most cited issues have since been corrected but a small number of problems remain open mainly around resident care and staffing, and the overall inspection pattern has been trending toward fewer citations recently.
