The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) continues to make compliance with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) training a top priority. Recently, another Florida provider was cited under Tag CZ875 – Alzheimer’s Dementia Training, bringing the total to five nurse registries cited for this deficiency.
This trend shows that AHCA is actively monitoring agencies to ensure caregivers working with dementia clients are properly trained. Compliance with ADRD training requirements is not optional—it’s an essential safeguard for vulnerable clients and a regulatory expectation.
What AHCA Expects:
Completion of DOEA-approved ADRD training for all home health aides, CNAs, and companions working with dementia clients.
Timely documentation—caregivers must complete the training within required timeframes before working with dementia clients.
Use of approved providers—courses must come from a Department of Elder Affairs–approved training source.
Why Agencies Are Being Cited:
Missing or incomplete training certificates.
Caregivers placed with clients before completing ADRD training.
Outdated or non-approved training programs.
Protecting Your Agency:
With AHCA now citing five agencies under CZ875, it’s clear this is an area of focused enforcement. Don’t risk being the next citation.
