PURPOSE:

The proposed rule amendments were developed in consultation with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.003, F.A.C., revises and clarifies where to obtain the Adult Family Care Home (AFCH) License application, AHCA Form 3180-1022, dated January 2006, which is incorporated by reference in the rule. Language is added to require AFCH providers to submit copies of their annual fire safety and sanitation inspection reports to AHCA and lists the remedies for failure to comply with this requirement. The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.008, F.A.C., deletes the requirement that AFCH providers attend update training for any portion of the basic course that has been updated as the result of new legislation or rule amendment. The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.0085, F.A.C., requires all AFCH providers to maintain a record of each fire exit drill on Form D14-1437 pursuant to Rule 69A-57.006, F.A.C. The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.0091, F.A.C., deletes obsolete references and updates the rule to require that each AFCH provider shall be subject to Chapter 69A-57, Uniform Fire Safety Standards for Adult Family Care Homes, F.A.C. Additionally, the amendment to Rule 58A-14.0091, F.A.C., outlines the AFCH provider’s responsibility for providing information to a resident’s essential medical service providers during and after a declared disaster or emergency.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule amendments revise the application, renewal, and conditional license form and the licensure process; staff qualifications, responsibilities, and training; records; and fire safety standards and emergency procedures for AFCH providers.
