, Section 1: Florida ALF Regulations and Licensing
Question 1
An administrator of a 75-bed assisted living facility in Miami learns that the Agency for Health Care
Administration (AHCA) will conduct an unannounced inspection. The administrator wants to ensure the
facility is compliant with Florida Statute 429. The administrator should first verify that the facility's license is:
Posted conspicuously in the facility lobby
Kept in the administrator's locked office
Mailed annually to the corporate office
Stored only in the facility's digital records
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Florida Statute 429 requires the ALF license to be posted conspicuously in the facility so residents and families can view
it. Keeping it locked away violates transparency requirements.
Question 2
A new 60-bed ALF in Tampa is preparing its initial application for licensure with AHCA. The facility must
submit proof that the building meets fire safety codes, along with background screening for all staff. Which
additional document is required by Florida regulations before the license can be issued?
A certificate of occupancy from the local building department
A marketing plan approved by the county
A contract with a private security firm
A profit-and-loss statement for the first year
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Florida ALF licensure requires a certificate of occupancy confirming the building meets code. Marketing plans, security
contracts, and financial projections are not statutory prerequisites for initial licensure.
Question 3
During a routine survey, an AHCA inspector notes that an ALF in Orlando has not updated its emergency
evacuation plan in three years. Florida regulations require the plan to be reviewed and updated at least:
Every 12 months
Every 18 months
Every 24 months
Every 6 months
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Florida ALF rules require emergency plans to be reviewed and updated at least every 24 months. An outdated plan
places residents at risk and can result in deficiencies.
, Question 4
A facility in Jacksonville is licensed for 85 residents but currently houses 92 due to a temporary waiver. The
administrator must ensure that the waiver is documented and that the facility continues to meet:
Only staffing ratios specified in the waiver
All standards of care and square footage requirements
Only dietary requirements
Only medication management rules
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Even with a temporary capacity waiver, the facility must continue to meet all standards of care, including square footage
per resident. Waivers do not excuse compliance with core safety and care standards.
Question 5
An ALF in Fort Lauderdale is applying for a Limited Mental Health (LMH) license addendum. To qualify, the
facility must demonstrate that staff have received specialized training in:
Dementia care and behavioral interventions
Mental health disorders and community resources
Substance abuse counseling
Physical therapy techniques
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Florida's LMH addendum requires staff training in mental health disorders and knowledge of community resources.
Dementia care and substance abuse counseling are important but not the specific LMH statutory requirement.
Question 6
A surveyor from AHCA finds that an ALF has been operating without a current license for 45 days. Under
Florida law, the facility may be subject to:
A written warning only
Administrative fines and potential closure
Mandatory conversion to a nursing home
Probation for six months without penalties
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Operating without a valid Florida ALF license subjects the facility to administrative fines and potential closure. Florida
does not permit unlicensed operation with only a warning.
Question 7
An administrator discovers that a former employee with a disqualifying criminal offense was hired before the
background screening results were received. Florida regulations require background screening results to be
received:
Within 30 days of hire
Before the employee has direct contact with residents
Within 90 days of the application date
Only if the employee administers medications
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Florida ALF rules mandate that background screening results must be received before an employee has direct contact
with residents. Hiring prior to clearance is a serious regulatory violation.
