About Florida Nursing Home Guide
Florida Nursing Home Guide is an independent informational directory published and operated by AvW Consulting s.r.o. The site helps Florida families compare nursing homes using public data from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). AvW Consulting s.r.o. is accountable for the site’s publishing, data-processing and correction practices. The site is not operated by CMS, Medicare, Medicaid, the State of Florida, a nursing home, a law firm or a medical provider.
What we publish
Facility profiles organize CMS information about ratings, inspections, staffing, resident-quality measures, ownership, penalties and Special Focus Facility status. City and county directories aggregate the same underlying records to help readers identify facilities and frame questions. Guides explain public programs and common care-quality topics in plain language. They are general educational material, not individualized medical, legal or financial advice.
How the site is funded
Access to the directory is free. The site may support paid advertising, sponsorship or referral relationships with independent lawyers or other service providers. Any paid legal placement is labelled Attorney Advertising. AvW Consulting s.r.o. may receive compensation for an advertising placement or qualified enquiry, but payment does not change CMS records, ratings or the way facility data is calculated. At present, no attorney partner is presented as an author or professional reviewer of this site’s editorial content.
Editorial responsibility
The Florida Nursing Home Guide editorial team prepares and maintains the site under AvW Consulting s.r.o.’s publishing responsibility. We identify primary sources, distinguish reported facts from explanatory context, preserve material limitations and avoid claims that a rating predicts an individual resident’s experience. Because no attorney or clinician currently reviews every article, we say so visibly instead of implying professional approval. Read our editorial standards and corrections policy.
Data updates and corrections
The automated updater checks CMS datasets approximately monthly. Each successful publication validates Florida state codes, unique CMS Certification Numbers, data completeness, output counts and page structure before replacing the prior version. CMS datasets can lag recent inspections, ownership changes and enforcement actions. Readers should verify current information with the facility and official agencies. To flag a factual or technical problem, use the contact and correction form and include the page URL and supporting source.
