Villa Alegre Corp

A short distance from Miami's Health District, in a part of the city where older apartment buildings and small licensed care homes sit side by side, Villa Alegre Corp operates 14 beds on Northwest 15th Street. Fourteen beds puts the home in the small-community range, generally enough for a couple of caregivers to be on duty simultaneously without the facility becoming a large operation. This central Miami-Dade corridor has long been home to a dense concentration of small assisted living providers, many family-run and serving a predominantly Spanish-speaking clientele. A fair question to ask is how the facility structures its dual-address layout, since the property spans two adjoining numbers on the same street.
