Florida Nursing Home Guide Update - Watch List is published by the state Agency for Health Care Administration to assist consumers in evaluating the quality of nursing home care in Florida. A conditional status indicates that a facility did not meet, or correct upon follow-up, minimum standards at the time of an annual or complaint 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. This document is subject to change as appeals are processed. Selecting a Nursing Home Selecting a nursing home is a very important decision. 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.
