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 Palmetto Subacute Care Center

Palmetto Subacute Care Center is at 7600 SW 8th St in Miami, on a stretch of SW 8th that scores an 84 for walkability; most errands reachable on foot, which is a meaningful logistical fact for families managing regular visits. The name says what this place is: subacute, not residential. The average length of stay is 112 days, and the clinical program roster confirms a facility built to handle medically complex patients who aren’t going home quickly.

The scope here is unusually broad. Daily physical, occupational, and speech therapy are standard; what distinguishes Palmetto is the depth beyond that: respiratory care, IV therapy, wound care, diabetic management, pain management, bariatric services, complex medical care, and subacute post-operative care. The facility also carries Alzheimer’s and memory care, an ICF/MRDD unit, hospice and palliative care, restorative care, and outpatient therapy, with on-site dental, podiatry, and optometry services rounding out the clinical picture.

Admissions are available 24/7. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

Nursing coverage totals 3 hours and 28 minutes per resident per day; 1 hour and 23 minutes of RN time, 2 hours and 18 minutes of nurse aide coverage, and 13 minutes of LPN/LVN time. Meals are prepared daily by an in-house chef working alongside a staff dietitian. For a family in Miami facing a complex post-hospital discharge with clinical needs that go beyond standard rehabilitation, Palmetto’s program breadth and all-payer acceptance make it one of the more substantive options the market offers at this acuity level.

The property provides scheduled local transportation, a fitness center, and a multi-lingual staff fluent in English, Hebrew, and Spanish. The neighborhood carries a walk score of 56, meaning some nearby amenities are walkable while others require a car. Cleveland Clinic Florida sits roughly one mile away.

Inspections managed by Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) reflect a consistent history of compliance. State evaluations since the facility’s opening have resulted in zero citations. Additionally, all past complaint investigations on file have been evaluated and ruled unsubstantiated by state inspectors.

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.
