AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to regulations concerning assisted living facilities in Florida, including clarifying that facilities without limited nursing services residents are not required to meet staffing requirements for limited nursing services, extending the timeframe for reporting adverse incidents from one business day to five business days, and expanding the tasks that staff can assist residents with regarding medication, specifically allowing help with dialing and attaching needles for insulin pens. Additionally, the bill revises the information that assisted living facilities must provide to the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), removing the requirement to list the number of "licensed" beds and instead focusing on the total number of beds in the facility, and it also updates the consumer information website requirements.
