23 Nursing Homes Have Not Responded to Requirements in the AHCA Emergency Rule

Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) Secretary Justin Senior today announced that 23 nursing homes have not responded to requirements in Emergency Rule 59AER17-1. By October 31, all nursing homes were required to submit a detailed plan to AHCA or apply for a waiver. These facilities will be subjected to the fine of $1,000 per day or license revocation starting November 15 if they fail to come into compliance by the deadline.
Secretary Senior said, “It is of the utmost importance that the nursing homes who have not responded do so immediately. These rules were implemented with the safety of patients and residents in nursing homes in mind. Our Agency will continue to work to aggressively implement this life-saving rule. Our goal is compliance with the emergency rule, and we will continue working to bring facilities into compliance.”
