Florida assisted living facilities operate under regulatory frameworks that assume a sustained standard of care under all conditions — including disasters. Post-Hurricane Irma, Florida significantly strengthened backup power mandates for licensed facilities. AHCA Rule 59A-36 establishes specific emergency management requirements. Non-compliance can cost your license.
The ERG Assisted Living & Senior Housing Emergency Operations Plan addresses both the regulatory compliance baseline and the operational realities of managing a medically complex resident population during an emergency.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
AHCA Rule 59A-36 emergency management compliance framework
Florida F.S. 400.9075 backup power requirement documentation
Resident medical dependency assessment and documentation procedures
Evacuation decision protocol: shelter-in-place vs. evacuation thresholds
Transportation coordination for medically complex residents
Medication management and controlled substance protocols during emergencies
Staff assignment matrix — who manages what during activation
Family notification scripts and communication protocols
Mutual aid agreements and receiving facility coordination
Post-event documentation for regulatory reporting
Coordination with local emergency management and county EOC
Delivered as a fully editable Word document, however, if you are not working with your County Emergency Management Office or local Health Care Coalition, you should contact them for assistance in addition to this prepared and compliant plan.
WHO THIS IS FOR: Executive directors, administrators, directors of nursing, and emergency coordinators at Florida assisted living facilities, memory care units, and senior housing communities.
