58A-5.036Emergency Environmental Control for Assisted Living Facilities

The Florida Department of Elder Affairs hereby gives notice: On 05/29/2019, the Department issued a Final Order granting AHC Southland-Lakeland, LLC d/b/a Brookdale Highlands, a temporary variance from Rule 58A-5.036, F.A.C., requiring an alternate energy source for emergency environmental control, as requested in its petition filed on 02/28/2019, and noticed in FAR Volume 45, Number 56. Petitioner demonstrated that its current temperature control measures are sufficient to ensure the health, safety, and comfort of its residents in the event of a loss of primary electrical power and that application of the Rule would create a substantial hardship and/or violate principles of fairness.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Djanet Cannady at [e-mail], [phone], Office of the General Counsel, DOEA, 4040 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, FL 32399.
