A conditional status indicates that a facility failed to meet, or correct upon follow-up, minimum standards at the time of the state's annual inspection.
Immediate action is taken if a facility poses a threat to resident health or safety.
Facilities appealing the State's inspection results are also noted. That's why the Agency for Health Care Administration encourages citizens to tour any nursing home being considered for a loved one, interview staff and talk with residents about the facility and refer to information listed in the Florida Nursing Home Guide to aid in this decision making process. The Guide also suggests community-based alternatives to traditional nursing home care and questions to ask when choosing a facility. This Watch List lists facilities that failed to meet minimum standards, at any time, during January 1 to March 31, 2000. A standard license indicates the facility meets minimum standards and a conditional license indicates that the facility failed to meet, or correct upon follow-up, minimum standards.
