How this list was screened
Only Florida Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties were considered — licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Each included community met the bar on verified ratings and a screened enforcement record.
- Small board-and-care homes are included where they earn their place on verified ratings and clean enforcement — with staffing-stability and family-reference questions flagged for your tour.
- Most ratings shown are 5-star user ratings (Google and similar). Where a rating comes from a web-aggregate source on a different scale, it is labeled as such in the directory.
- “From” prices are third-party snapshots and can exclude care charges, deposits and unit-specific fees.
- A rating is not a safety finding. Verify the current license record on FloridaHealthFinder before deciding.
- Value / Mid-level / Luxury tiers are assigned from verified pricing plus verified quality: Value communities are the “smart money” picks — strong ratings at accessible prices; Mid-level is the broad middle of the market; Luxury requires premium pricing, strong ratings, AND a clean enforcement record — expensive alone never qualifies (expensive ≠ excellent).
