AHCA District 8 Surveyor Confirms C-E-U.com Meets Florida Alzheimer’s Training Requirements Ahead of July 1, 2026 Enforcement
During a recent relicensure survey for Abby Services, we had the opportunity to discuss Florida’s Alzheimer’s disease training requirements directly with an AHCA field surveyor for District 8. This was an important conversation because the Alzheimer’s training rules are widely misunderstood, and many in-home care businesses are relying on training sources that will not satisfy AHCA’s expectations once enforcement tightens.
During this discussion, the surveyor confirmed that C-E-U.com meets AHCA requirements for Alzheimer’s disease training. This confirmation matters because it validates that our training is aligned with what surveyors are looking for in real-world relicensure and compliance reviews.
Just as importantly, the surveyor also confirmed that many commonly used online training sites do not meet the required standard for this specific Alzheimer’s training requirement. She referenced examples such as RN.org as platforms that are frequently used by caregivers but may not satisfy AHCA’s Alzheimer’s training expectations due to inadequate DOEA approval. That means a certificate alone may not be enough if the course itself does not meet the required structure and content under Florida’s rules.
So why does this matter right now? Because the statutory grace period for certain non-qualified Alzheimer’s training will lapse on July 1, 2026. After that date, the industry should expect real enforcement. In other words, this is the point where “close enough” training becomes a compliance problem during surveys.
What we took away from the conversation is that AHCA surveyors are aware of the July 1, 2026 deadline and are preparing for it. They already understand which training sources meet the standard and which ones do not. As that date approaches, in-home care businesses should assume survey scrutiny will increase, not decrease.
If you operate an in-home caregiver business in Florida, this is the right time to audit your current Alzheimer’s training approach. Confirm where caregivers are obtaining Alzheimer’s education, verify it meets AHCA expectations, and make sure you can confidently defend the training choice in a survey setting. Waiting until after July 1, 2026 risks last-minute scrambling, disrupted caregiver availability, and potential survey findings.
C-E-U.com was built to help caregiver businesses stay survey-ready with training that aligns with AHCA requirements and the realities of field enforcement. If you have questions about what AHCA will expect after July 1, 2026, or want help standardizing compliant training across your caregiver network, we are here to help.
Bottom line: AHCA is paying attention, surveyors are preparing, and the grace period clock is ticking. In-home care businesses should be prepared too.
A certificate and an official state record are issued upon successful completion.
