Florida Statute 408.809 dictates the strict AHCA background screening requirements for assisted living facilities Florida. This regulation ensures that every person in a position of trust undergoes a comprehensive background check. Unlike basic name searches, a Level 2 screening requires a fingerprint-based search through both the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the FBI. Compliance also hinges on capturing an AHCA-compliant photo at the time of fingerprinting. Without this digital photograph, the screening is considered invalid within the AHCA Clearinghouse portal.
