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.
The Palace Royale at Kendall is legally operated by Kendall Healthcare Properties, and administered by Ricardo A Martinez.
