City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in citations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Reported profit orientation for the operator or facility (e.g. for-profit vs nonprofit), as provided in state licensing or disclosure data.
Total monetary fines or penalties in the reporting window from the state source. A single large fine can dominate this figure.

Overview of The Palace Royale at Kendall

The Palace Royale at Kendall is part of the Palace Group, a 510-bed community in Miami’s Kendall neighborhood that spans nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care. The address is 11355 SW 84th Street, Miami-Dade County, and Ricardo A Martinez serves as administrator. Walk Score of 51 puts the area in the moderately walkable range.

At 510 beds running 95% full, with a 93-day average stay, this community handles both ends of the placement spectrum. Some residents are here for short-term rehabilitation before going home; others are long-term. That mix shows up in the payment data too: Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. Staff speak Creole, Hebrew, and Spanish, which matters in a Miami-Dade community drawing from a multilingual population.

Total nursing care runs 3 hours and 52 minutes per resident per day. RNs account for 1 hour and 13 minutes of that; nurse aides cover 2 hours and 34 minutes. On the services side, rehabilitative support, transportation, beauty services, housekeeping, and security systems are all confirmed. The activity list is long: arts and crafts, cooking classes, dancing, exercise classes, gardening, games, music programs, shopping trips, social events and outings, theater, movies, and yoga. An active resident council meets on a regular basis.

State inspections have tended to center on medication management, and care planning and documentation.

At this scale, with multilingual staff, multi-track care, and a broad activity program, The Palace Royale at Kendall is built for families who need a large, full-service nursing and senior living community in southwest Miami with room to move between care levels without relocating.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Florida

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Florida Medicaid cover assisted living?

Florida Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Florida) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 1062 assisted living facilities in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Florida?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Florida, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Florida?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
