How We Present AHCA and CMS Evidence.

Two agency sources, provider-specific coverage

Florida AHCA supplies assisted living and state provider identity and inspection records. CMS supplies nursing-home certification, qualified citation releases and available published staffing and ownership evidence. A nursing-home site record is not automatically a CMS-certified SNF; the individual profile identifies its observed certification and source identifiers.

Each published profile shows metadata dates, agency source publication dates and available inspection or measurement periods separately. A fresh metadata timestamp does not establish a fresh inspection, and nursing-home state findings are not claimed integrated where the profile says otherwise. Historical records are not a current safety conclusion. See the current published dataset and its coverage.

The retained ALF analytical methodology below describes its own older report window; it is not a claim that all current provider profiles share that cutoff. Professional ALF pattern methodology explains its separate denominators.

Source and coverage

The source is the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration’s public assisted living facility information and inspection history, including FloridaHealthFinder. AHCA remains the authoritative source. Care Reliability currently has complete detailed collection for 3,017 of 3,017 canonical Florida ALFs in this data release.

Data last refreshed: September 8, 2026. The current rolling window is 2024-09-08 through 2026-09-08.

Statewide collection is complete for this data release. A permanent automated update frequency is not yet claimed.

What an inspection is—and what a deficiency is

An inspection is an AHCA event with its own date and type. A deficiency is a requirement AHCA cited in connection with an inspection. An inspection with no deficiencies remains part of the history; inspection counts are never inferred from deficiency rows.

Inspection types

Standard and complaint inspections, together with other substantive survey events, are shown as regulatory inspections. Monitor and follow-up activity is shown separately so it is not presented as equivalent to a substantive inspection. Other or unknown source types remain visible in the timeline rather than being forced into a different category.

AHCA deficiency classes

The summaries below paraphrase the classification definitions in Florida Statutes, section 408.813. Florida’s assisted living facility enforcement statute states that ALF violations are classified under that section; see Florida Statutes, section 429.19. These are Florida/AHCA classifications, not Care Reliability ratings.

Class I

AHCA determined that the violation presents imminent danger or a substantial probability of death or serious physical or emotional harm.

Class II

A violation, other than Class I, that AHCA determined directly threatens a resident's physical or emotional health, safety, or security.

Class III

A violation, other than Class I or II, that AHCA determined indirectly or potentially threatens a resident's physical or emotional health, safety, or security.

Class IV

A violation involving required operational or documentation conditions that AHCA determined does not threaten resident health, safety, or security and has no potential for a negative effect.

Unclassified

AHCA may cite certain authorized violations without designating them Class I through IV. Care Reliability preserves that source classification.

Unknown

The canonical source record does not provide a class value that can be placed in the listed AHCA classes.

Correction dates

When the canonical AHCA deficiency record contains a correction date, the page says that AHCA lists that date. When no date is present, the page says only that no correction date is shown in the Care Reliability source record. It does not call the finding uncorrected or determine current compliance.

Recurring areas

A category or raw AHCA tag is recurring only when it appears in more than one distinct inspection during the rolling 24-month period. Multiple findings in one inspection do not create recurrence.

Plain-language categories

Care Reliability groups AHCA deficiency tags into plain-language categories for easier review. These mappings are provisional organizational labels. The official AHCA tag and requirement remain the authoritative source, and unmapped source values remain visible.

What this information cannot establish

The history does not establish that a facility is safe or unsafe, currently compliant or noncompliant, or responsible for a particular resident outcome. It does not establish root cause, predict future performance, replace an official AHCA record, or provide a comprehensive review of every aspect of a resident’s care. Care Reliability does not assign stars, grades, or a proprietary facility score.
