Angeles ALF INC

Twelve beds gives Angeles ALF a bit more room than Florida's smallest licensed homes, on Southwest 5th Street in Miami's Fontainebleau neighborhood, a short drive from Florida International University. That modest step up often means the facility can maintain more than one caregiver on duty at a time without becoming a large operation. Fontainebleau is one of the more densely built residential pockets of Miami-Dade County, with numerous small assisted living homes within walking distance of each other, giving families a lot of side-by-side comparison shopping to do. It's worth asking how Angeles ALF structures its caregiver shifts across the day and night, since staffing patterns can vary even among homes of similar size.
