Florida APD & Group Home Consulting

Extraordinary Healthcare Resources provides consulting support for individuals and organizations preparing to become Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities providers or open and operate APD-licensed residential settings.

APD Provider and Residential Facility Start-Up Support

APD provider enrollment and residential facility licensure involve separate requirements. EHR helps clients organize the steps, documents and operational preparation needed for the services and setting they plan to provide.

Group Home Licensure Preparation

For applicants seeking residential habilitation licensure, EHR can assist with organizing the facility application process and supporting documentation. Current APD guidance requires applicants seeking a new licensed group home, foster home or Adult Day Training program to have a facility secured and available when requesting licensure.

Application and Documentation Support

Depending on the project, support may include application organization, policies and procedures, CEMP preparation, financial-readiness documentation, annual budget materials, capacity and floor-plan documentation, admission and termination procedures, zoning documentation, personnel records and other items applicable to the facility.

Background Screening, Training and Provider Readiness

APD providers and direct service providers are subject to background-screening requirements, and provider enrollment may also require service-specific qualifications and training. EHR helps clients build a readiness checklist around the current requirements applicable to their intended services.

Facility Inspection and HCBS Readiness

APD’s current licensure process includes a facility inspection after an application is determined complete. Residential and Adult Day Training settings are also reviewed for compliance with federal Home and Community-Based Services settings requirements when applicable to Medicaid Waiver funding. EHR can help clients prepare their documentation and operations for these reviews.

Medicaid and APD Enrollment Planning

APD provider enrollment can also involve obtaining the appropriate Florida Medicaid provider enrollment. EHR can help clients organize the sequence of steps and supporting information while using current APD and Medicaid guidance for the specific service being pursued.

Extraordinary Healthcare Resources is an independent healthcare consulting and education company and is not affiliated with or acting on behalf of the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration or Florida Medicaid.
