Overview of The Residences at East Ridge Village

The Residences at East Ridge Village is a 106-bed life plan community located in Miami, Florida. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Florida

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Florida Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 258 nursing homes in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
