Cary & Nico Tu Casita Feliz ALF, INC.

Southwest 16th Terrace, near the boundary of Miami and unincorporated South Miami close to Sunset Drive, is where Cary & Nico Tu Casita Feliz ALF operates a six-bed home. The name translates loosely to 'happy little house,' and at six beds it is licensed at the smallest scale a Florida assisted living facility can be, typically one house and a small consistent staff. This part of Miami-Dade mixes older single-family homes with newer infill construction, and small residential care homes are common throughout the surrounding blocks. Families should ask how the home handles a resident's evolving needs over time, since a facility this size has less flexibility to add specialized staff than a larger campus would.
