# Nursing homes CMS has flagged in Florida

**3** Special Focus Facilities, **15** SFF candidates, and **57** abuse-flagged nursing homes in Florida (CMS designations).

**How to read this:** these are CMS's own flags. A Special Focus Facility is among the worst persistently-low performers under increased federal oversight; an SFF candidate is next in line; the abuse icon means CMS cited the facility for abuse/neglect with resident harm. A flag is a SERIOUS signal to investigate — NOT a final verdict (a home can improve off the list), and **the absence of a flag is NOT a clean bill of health** (many problems are never flagged). Verify current status at CMS Care Compare (https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/).
