Calusa Adult Care I

Calusa Adult Care I takes its name from the Calusa, a Native American people whose historic territory centered on Southwest Florida's coast well before European contact, a name used broadly across South Florida developments even this far from the tribe's original homeland. The facility operates 13 beds at 13871 Sw 112th St in the Kendall area of unincorporated Miami-Dade County. Thirteen residents puts the home just past Florida's smallest licensing tier, generally enough for a bit more staffing structure than a strict six-bed household while still remaining a small, closely supervised community. Kendall's dense residential grid means small and mid-size ALFs like this one are common throughout the surrounding blocks. A useful question on a tour is how the jump from a six-bed to a thirteen-bed model has changed staffing patterns and daily routines here.
