The nursing home problem in Florida was characterized as a debate over quality of care and the rapid increase of lawsuits against nursing homes that led to a decline in the availability of affordable liability insurance. The staff for Florida's Task Force on Availability and Affordability of Long-Term Care analyzed lawsuit and quality-of-care data from one county in Florida and quality-of-care data statewide to understand the relationship between the two sides of the argument. Analyses showed support for both positions and a middle-ground policy position was achieved. The subsequent nursing home reform legislation and implications for the future of long-term care in Florida are discussed.

The regulation and inspection of care services have changed fundamentally. The Care Standards Act 2000 will have an impact on all organizations providing residential and domiciliary care across the public and independent sector. New requirements include: new criteria for registration; new register of all social care staff; new training requirements; measures to protect vulnerable adults; and national minimum standards. This guide, aimed at housing and care professionals, outlines the new system and the implications this will have for services to adults. It presents the background and rationale behind the new Act, previews the new regulations and structure of the new institutions, and provides a guide to the law.
