    Facility Member

    Any individual, firm, corporation or partnership owning, operating or managing a state-licensed Assisted Living Facility (ALF) or Adult Family Care Home (AFCH) is eligible for Facility Membership. (Facilities not yet licensed do NOT qualify for Facility Membership but may qualify for Provisional Facility Membership; contact our office to discuss.)
     
    Annual member dues are based on the number of beds for which the ALF or AFCH is licensed by AHCA, and memberships are set on a calendar term with a January 1 renewal date.  New members joining mid-year must pay full annual dues with their application; a prorated portion of the paid dues will be applied to the current year and the balance as a credit to the next year to provide for a total of 12 months of member benefits.  The renewal dues invoice for year two will reflect the true-up balance due to carry membership through December 31, and all subsequent renewal invoices will be for a full calendar year.

    Provisional Facility

    Provisional Facility Membership may be granted to firms, corporations, partnerships or individuals who can demonstrate that they are in the process of acquiring or building a facility which can reasonably be expected to have an ALF or AFCH license within one year of joining.  Provisional Facility Membership is provided for up to 12 months, until the facility is licensed.  Once licensed, the facility’s member dues are then calculated on the number of licensed beds for the remainder of the current year and an invoice is issued for any prorated net dues balance that may be due. 
     
    Provisional Facility Members receive full member benefits, with the exception of voting privileges at any meeting of the membership.  Voting privileges will be instated once the facility is licensed and full standard membership dues are paid.
