Licensing and Accreditation: Adventist Care Center

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the licensing and accreditation of a health care facility, specifically a nursing home, in the state of Florida. In particular the paper looks at Adventist Care Center in Orange County, Florida and explores which local state and federal agencies regulate it and ensure that it is upholding its solemn responsibility to provide top flight healthcare for elderly residents.

From the Paper:

"The reason for the choice of Adventist Care Center is that Adventist appears to have a number of nursing homes throughout Florida and therefore it is interesting to see how the state and local counties treat a large and apparently growing nursing home franchise in a part of the country that is aging rapidly and already features a high median age. In any case, the paucity of available information is startling in some respects, but every effort will be made to track down those agencies at the local level which ultimately determine which facilities are appropriate for their vital task - and which ones are not."
