2 Florida Nurse Registries Cited for ADRD Training Non‑Compliance
🛑 AHCA Enforcement Of CZ875 Alzheimers Training Is Now Real – And It’s Targeting Nurse Registries
In June 2025, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration issued its first-ever citations under Tag CZ875, marking a serious escalation in enforcement of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) training under F.S. 430.5025 (House Bill 299). Crucially, nurse registries— home health agencies— and companion services are now directly included.
A recently issues citation now brings the total number of Florida Registries cited under CZ875 to two, but that number is sure to grow.
🔍 What Tag CZ875 Means
Tag CZ875 (sometimes listed as ZZ875) signals a provider’s failure to comply with mandatory ADRD training protocols required under F.S. 430.5025—applicable to nurse registries effective since July 1, 2023.
Training requirements for nurse registries include:
At time of hire/registration: Provide written information about interacting with persons with Alzheimer’s or related dementias.
Within 30 days: All caregivers providing personal care or regular contact must complete a 1‑hour, DOEA-approved ADRD training.
Within 7 months: Those providing personal care must complete an additional 2‑hour approved ADRD course, covering topics like behavior management and promoting independence
All documentation must be retained in the registry’s records. Providers have been cited for failing at multiple points including—no written info at hire, missing 1‑hour or 2‑hour training records—triggering the CZ875 citation and regulatory risk
✅ Why Compliance Matters—for Registries Like Those Cited and Yours
Financial penalties & reputational impact: Tag CZ875 denotes serious noncompliance and may lead to fines, corrective plans, or loss of license.
Audit readiness: AHCA inspections now include nurse registries explicitly under the ADRD statute.
Legal obligation: Failing to meet training deadlines or using non‑DOEA approved courses is a regulatory violation—and registries are responsible even if they refer independent contractors
