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.

Overview of El Paraiso Home

Tucked into Miami’s Little Havana, El Paraiso Home is a small memory care and assisted living community, just 14 beds under one single-story roof. That size means something real: fewer strangers, more familiar faces, staff who actually know your name. Private and semi-private rooms are both on the table, so families can pick what fits.

Maria Cristina Rodriguez runs the place as administrator. And the neighborhood itself pulls its weight too. A Walk Score of 94 puts it in “walker’s paradise” territory, meaning groceries, pharmacies, and daily errands are all within an easy stroll. If you’re visiting a parent or grandparent here, that’s not a small thing. You can step outside together instead of always driving somewhere.

Day to day, residents get transportation services and access to fitness and recreation space. The activity lineup leans hands-on and social: arts and crafts, games and cards, the occasional shopping trip. Staff speak English and Spanish, which matters a lot in this part of Miami, where a shared language with caregivers can make the whole experience feel less clinical and more like home.

On the money side, El Paraiso works with a wide range of coverage: private insurance, HMO plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and VA benefits. That flexibility opens up more paths for families trying to figure out how to actually pay for care.

Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration inspects the home as part of the state’s routine oversight of senior care communities. Those inspections have tended to focus on areas like medication management, staffing credentials, environmental safety, and how well care planning gets documented. Add it all up: a small, walkable, bilingual community with real flexibility on payment, built around a scale where residents aren’t just a number.

Operated by Cutler Bay AL Operating LLC and administrated by Allen Masconi, the for-profit facility sits on a 76-acre campus that integrates independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services. The property features extensive shared infrastructure, providing 24-hour staffing and on-site physical rehabilitation tracks alongside long-term residential senior care. S

State regulatory archives managed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration reveal a highly scrutinized compliance history, registering 73 total deficiencies across 47 separate inspection cycles over a ten-year period. This operational baseline tracks out to a yearly average of 5.8 citations, a frequency that sits 26% higher than the broader Florida state benchmark. Historical logs show persistent operational hurdles, with state inspectors identifying infractions during every recorded evaluation, including heavy citation clusters between 2018 and 2020 and multiple historical fines totaling $79,800. Recurrent compliance themes span staff training competencies, medication documentation, background screening protocols, and resident supervision standards.

Although the two most recent audits in February 2024 and March 2025 indicated narrow findings related to staffing levels and resident rights, the community operates under an active provisional license expiring in mid-2026. Regarding daily campus operations, the floor plan incorporates formal dining venues and all-day casual bistro setups serving chef-prepared meals. A multilingual employee base provides clinical and personal care support for Creole-, English-, Portuguese-, and Spanish-speaking residents.

The 76-acre campus layout includes an on-site fitness hub, a swimming pool, and a dedicated dog park. For daily participant socialization, internal coordinators manage an activity calendar that features group games, fitness classes, music programs, cooking lessons, and scheduled social outings. Prospective representatives evaluating long-term care facilities in the region should carefully examine the operator’s active internal corrective processes and ongoing governance transitions before executing a residential contract. The 106-capacity framework is configured for community members with escalating physical or cognitive demands who benefit from seamless access to step-down nursing care and specialized dementia housing on a single campus.
