Tamarac Center for Rehabilitation: AC Vent Mold - FL
The findings came on September 15, during a visit that preceded the formal inspection date of September 18. In room after room, over the course of roughly 30 minutes that afternoon, inspectors documented the same thing: residue on the slats of wall-mounted AC units, and more residue visible inside the vents themselves. The first room was noted at 3:50 PM. A second at 4:03. A third at 4:18. Inspectors photographed each one.
The violation was cited under F0584, which covers the physical environment residents live in, and was tagged at the lowest level of harm, meaning regulators found minimal harm or the potential for actual harm rather than documented injury.
That classification matters, but it doesn't change what the residents in those rooms were breathing.
Wall-mounted AC units that circulate air through vents coated in buildup push that air directly into the room. How long the residue had been there, and how long residents had been living with it, the inspection report does not say.
What it does say is that inspectors found it in multiple rooms, documented it with photographs, and that it was visible enough to be recorded on three separate observations within half an hour.
Tamarac Center for Rehabilitation and Healing is located in Tamarac, a city in Broward County. The inspection was triggered by a complaint, not a routine survey cycle. That distinction means someone, a resident, a family member, a staff member, raised a concern that prompted regulators to show up.
The inspection report does not describe any staff response to the findings, any timeline for when the units were last cleaned, or any explanation from facility management for the condition of the vents.
Three rooms. Photographs taken. The report ends there.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
