, SECTION 1: State Law and Rules Relating to Assisted Living Facilities
Q1. An ALF administrator in Florida is reviewing the facility’s license status after a change in ownership. The new owner plans to
continue operations under the same license number. According to Florida law, what action is required?
A. No action is needed if the physical plant remains unchanged
B. The previous owner’s license automatically transfers after 30 days
C. Only a local business tax receipt needs updating
D. The new owner must apply for a change of ownership and obtain AHCA approval before assuming control
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Florida law requires a change-of-ownership application and Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) approval before a new owner may operate
under an ALF license. Licenses do not automatically transfer.
Q2. A surveyor cites an ALF for failing to maintain a current admission packet that includes the facility’s resident rights statement.
The administrator asks which statutory source primarily governs resident rights in Florida ALFs.
A. Only the federal Nursing Home Reform Act
B. The facility’s private policy manual alone
C. Local zoning ordinances exclusively
D. Chapter 429, Florida Statutes, and related administrative rules
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Resident rights and ALF operational requirements are established primarily in Chapter 429, Florida Statutes, and the Florida Administrative Code rules
implementing those statutes. Federal nursing-home law does not directly govern ALFs.
Q3. An ALF wants to admit a resident who requires intermittent nursing services beyond the scope of the facility’s standard license.
The administrator must determine whether the facility holds which special designation or limited nursing services authorization?
A. A skilled nursing facility license
B. Limited nursing services (LNS) or extended congregate care (ECC) authorization as applicable
C. Only a home health agency license
D. No special authorization is ever required for nursing services in an ALF
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Florida ALFs may provide limited nursing services or extended congregate care only when specifically licensed or authorized for those levels.
Standard ALF licenses have defined service limits.
Q4. During an annual survey, the surveyor asks for the facility’s most recent fire safety inspection report. How long must an ALF
retain such regulatory documents under typical Florida record-keeping expectations?
A. 30 days after the survey is closed
B. At least the period required by rule (commonly 2–5 years or as specified for the document type)
C. Only until the next license renewal
D. Documents may be discarded immediately after the surveyor leaves
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Florida ALF rules require retention of inspection reports, personnel records, and other regulatory documents for prescribed periods. Administrators
must maintain current and historical records for survey access.

Q5. A facility administrator receives a notice of intent to impose an administrative fine for a Class II deficiency. What is the
administrator’s first procedural step under Florida ALF enforcement processes?
A. Ignore the notice because Class II deficiencies never carry fines
B. Immediately close the facility without responding
C. Review the notice, gather documentation, and exercise the right to an informal conference or formal hearing as provided by law
D. Pay any fine without reviewing the findings
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Licensees have due-process rights, including the opportunity to contest findings through informal dispute resolution or formal administrative hearings.
Prompt review and response are essential.
Q6. An ALF plans to increase its licensed capacity from 50 to 75 beds. Which action is required before the additional beds may be
occupied?
A. Submit an application for a license modification and obtain AHCA approval after any required inspections
B. Simply rearrange furniture and begin admitting more residents
C. Notify only the local fire department
D. Capacity changes never require regulatory approval
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Changes in licensed capacity require a license modification application and Agency approval, often including physical-plant and fire-safety review,
before additional residents may be admitted.
Q7. A new ALF administrator must complete core training. Under Florida requirements, who is mandated to successfully complete
the ALF core training curriculum?
A. Administrators and managers of assisted living facilities as specified by statute
B. Only direct-care staff
C. Only the medical director
D. Volunteers who work less than 10 hours per week
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Florida law requires ALF administrators (and certain managers) to complete the approved core training program and competency test. Direct-care staff
have separate training requirements.
Q8. An ALF is cited for failing to post the facility’s license in a conspicuous location. Where must the license typically be displayed?
A. Only in the administrator’s locked office
B. In a conspicuous place accessible to residents and the public, usually near the main entrance or reception area
C. Only on the facility’s website
D. Licenses need not be posted if the facility has a website
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Florida rules require the current license to be posted in a conspicuous location so residents, families, and surveyors can readily verify the facility’s
authorized status and capacity.
