The proposed rule eliminates regulatory conflicts between Chapters 408 and 429; streamlines, clarifies, and reduces burdensome reporting requirements; and addresses necessary safeguards to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of individuals residing in Florida’s assisted living facilities. Specifically, the proposed rule addresses facility licensing requirements; admission procedures, appropriateness of resident placement and continued residency requirements; aging in place initiatives; medication practices; staffing standards, including training requirements and imposition of competency testing; facility food service standards; resident contracts and certain financials standards; emergency management within facilities; resident and facility record requirements; and the scope of health services provided by third parties.
