Which South Florida assisted living facilities hold ECC, LNS or LMH specialty licenses?

41 facilities hold an Extended Congregate Care (ECC) license, 86 hold Limited Nursing Services (LNS) and 496 hold Limited Mental Health (LMH). Each is an add-on to the standard Florida ALF license, and the tags in the list below show which facility holds which.

ECC lets a resident stay as needs increase, with nursing services provided directly or by contract. AHCA must send a registered nurse to monitor each ECC facility at least twice a year (F.S. 429.07). LNS adds specific nursing tasks to a standard license. LMH lets a facility serve residents who have a mental health diagnosis and receive optional state supplementation; most of the region's LMH licenses sit in Miami-Dade's small homes.

How do I check a South Florida facility's license and inspections?

Open the license-number link on any row. It goes to that facility's AHCA profile on FloridaHealthFinder, which shows license status and dates, specialty licenses, the owner, and any fines or sanctions, with a link to AHCA's inspection reports.

Florida classes ALF deficiencies by severity under F.S. 408.813. Class I and II are direct threats to residents and are fined even when corrected; Class III and IV carry a correction deadline. A record with only Class III paperwork citations reads very differently from one with a recent Class I. Each featured profile summarizes the latest AHCA inspections.

What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Florida?

Assisted living helps with daily activities in a licensed residential setting. Memory care is assisted living for people with dementia, with the added staffing, activity and training rules of F.S. 429.178. Neither may serve someone who needs 24-hour nursing supervision.
