We never know when the \u2018pop quiz\u2019 will happen, but we are always ready, and our survey records show it.<\/p><p>An excellent state survey means you or your loved one can expect the highest level of service. This is an important factor when considering what In-Home Care Service to use. Some In-Home Care providers are cited for failing to do proper background screenings, failing to maintain specific state-required training, or failing to even maintain a proper business license. These citations only identify issues that were found. Citations result in fines and corrective plans which have to be put in place and followed.\u00a0 Licensed providers&#8217; survey results can be reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridahealthfinder.gov\/facilitylocator\/ListFacilities.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad50cca elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad50cca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What you may find in other providers survey results.<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c15b8b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c15b8b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Deficiency free survey results can be difficult to achieve.
