104 Nursing Homes Have Reported Compliance with the Nursing Home Emergency Generator Rule

AHCA and DOEA Publish Updated Emergency Generator Rule Compliance Status for Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. ? Today, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) announced that 104 nursing homes have reported that they are now in compliance with the emergency generator rule. Also, AHCA and the Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) have published a list of all nursing homes and assisted living facilities' status of compliance with the Emergency Generator Rule. To date, 2,365 nursing homes and assisted living facilities have submitted plans or reported being in compliance, and 563 assisted living facilities have still not responded to the requirements in the rule, and will continue to be subject to fines following the November 15 deadline.

Secretary Justin Senior said, "Our Agency is working with our state and local partners to ensure compliance with the life-saving Emergency Generator Rule. We have begun the process of issuing letters of violation, and we fully intend to hold those facilities accountable that have failed to comply with this rule. Ensuring the safety of patients and residents is our Agency's top priority, and we will work to ensure that no patient, resident, family or facility is ever placed in harms way due to prolonged power outage."

A list of facilities that have reported compliance with the emergency generator rule is below. If a facility has submitted a statement of compliance to AHCA and the local emergency management agency, AHCA is working to confirm approval of the emergency power plan by the local emergency management officials. AHCA will also verify compliance by the State Fire Marshal whose review will be completed within 15 days after implementation.

If a facility has not responded to the Governor's Emergency Rule in any form, AHCA's next step is to issue a Notice of Apparent Violation, informing the facility of the fines and possible license revocation. The notice will demand a response in 10 days. During this time, each facility not in compliance will continue to be fined $1,000 per day.

The variance process is outlined in Florida law. If a facility has been granted a variance, or is awaiting approval of a variance, it is expected that these facilities will be in compliance by the date granted in the variance. All variances will be granted solely for construction and permitting timelines, and no facility will receive a variance due to cost. If at the end of the variance period a facility has not come into compliance, they will be subjected to fines and possible license revocation. If facilities meet the stringent threshold to obtain a variance, the state is required to grant the variance under Florida law, F.S. 120.542.

AHCA is the regulatory agency that will enforce the fines for both nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
