Inspection History

In Florida, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is the primary authority that conducts unannounced inspections and completes official health quality reports for all healthcare facilities.

We don't publish a score for assisted living residences with fewer than three inspections on record. This would unfairly reward providers with limited inspection history or those that have not been operating long enough to be cited.

Inspection score unavailable

Not enough inspection history to generate a score.

Average score for Florida assisted living residences: B 83/100

Inspection score not available. Not enough inspection history to score against the Florida benchmark.
