Class II: conditions that directly threaten residents' physical or emotional health, safety or security. A fine is levied even when the problem is corrected.leg.state.fl.us
Class III: conditions that indirectly or potentially threaten residents' health, safety or security. No fine if corrected within the time AHCA sets.leg.state.fl.us
Class IV: problems with operation, maintenance or required reports and forms that do not have the potential of negatively affecting residents.leg.state.fl.us
Unclassified violations are ones not designated class I to IV, such as violating a licence condition, exceeding licensed capacity or providing services beyond the scope of the licence.leg.state.fl.us
AHCA notes that legal actions are issued to the licensee at the time the case began, so a facility that changed hands can carry actions from a former owner. The full inspection reports are on the FloridaHealthFinder profile (licence 7200).
Memory care
Florida has no separate memory care licence. Elison Assisted Living of Bella Vita has no extended congregate care (ECC) licence on its AHCA profile.
An extended congregate care (ECC) licence lets a resident age in place: on top of standard assisted living services it covers limited nursing services, total help with bathing, dressing and toileting, and supervision of residents with dementia.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov
AHCA's advice: before signing a contract, ask what special services and activities the facility has for people with dementia, how staff are trained for it, and how it keeps residents from wandering off.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov
Costs
Florida does not publish what assisted living facilities charge, and Elison Assisted Living of Bella Vita has no rate on file with us. Ask the home for its full rate sheet, including care level fees and any one-time community fee, before you sign.
Each Florida assisted living contract must set out the services, the rates or charges and at least 30 days' written notice of a rate increase.leg.state.fl.us
