GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains group care facilities inspected by the Florida Department of Health. The facilities included in this dataset can be broken into three broader categories: Residential Child Caring Agency, Public & Private Schools, and Residential Group Care Facilities. A Residential child-caring agency is a Department of Children and Families (DCF) licensed residential facility or agency which provides staffed 24-hour care for children in residential facilities. Various types of residential child-caring agencies include, but are not limited to, maternity homes, runaway shelters, group homes that are administered by an agency, emergency shelters that are not in private residences, and wilderness camps. Residential child-caring agencies do not include hospitals, boarding schools, summer or recreation camps, nursing homes, or facilities operated by a governmental agency for the training, treatment, or secure care of delinquent youth, or facilities licensed under Florida Statutes (FS) 393.067 or s. 394.875 or chapter 397. Public & Private Schools include any school facility such as a charter school, college/university, private charter school, private school, public school, and vocational school. There is no state licensing of schools or educational facilities in Florida. There may be local county government fees assessed or permits issued through the local county health department in relation to physical plant, environmental health or sanitary standards. The Department of Education (DOE) operates the public school system and oversees charter schools in Florida through local county school boards. Any school facility is required to get a satisfactory group care environmental health inspection from the local county health department prior to opening or operating in Florida. Residential Group Care Facilities include assisted living facility, adult family-care home, short-term residential treatment center, residential treatment facility, home for special services, transitional living facility, crisis stabilization unit, hospice, and intermediate care facility for persons with developmental disabilities. The Department of Health (DOH) does not license various residential group care facilities. Licensing is done by one of two state agencies referred to as the primary licensing agency. The two primary licensing agencies for residential group care facilities that DOH regulates are the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF).

Residential Child Caring Agency information:
In general the Department of Health (DOH) provides an environmental health inspection
of the food service area to ensure basic food safety and sanitation standards are
followed.  Per subsection 409.175(6)(e) of the Florida Statutes (F.S), and at the
request of DCF, DOH will conduct an annual routine inspection at DCF licensed
residential child-caring agencies and apply designated food safety standards, which
are located in DCF rule 65C-14.010 of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The
request from DCF is made through to the local County Health Department (CHD) in
the county that the facility operates. An environmental health inspector from the
local CHD will conduct the inspection and provide the inspection results to DCF.


Public & Private Schools information:
At schools, we ensure good sanitary health and safety practices are in place related
to construction, operation, and maintenance among the children, employees, and
visitors to the school facility. Our purpose is to prevent or minimize the risk of
transmitting disease, injury, or bodily harm. The list below includes some of the
primary areas the environmental health inspectors check during their inspection visit
of the educational buildings:
Maintenance & Repair, Lighting, Vermin/Animal Control, Water
Supply, Liquid & Solid Waste, Heating and Air-conditioning, Sanitary
Facilities/Restrooms & Showers, Hand washing Facilities & Supplies,
Playground Equipment
The DOH does not inspect dormitories.
The State Department of Education (DOE) has the responsibility and authority to write
rules for public and private schools in Florida and the Department of Health has
inspection authority to apply the DOE standards, per statute 381.006(16).
There are two different rules that apply, depending upon the type of school: public,
charter, and private (Non-public K-12 grades).  However, in the case of charter
schools, DOE standards apply based on the individual charter schools physical location.
If the charter school is located on public school property or property owned by the local
county school board, the public school rule standards apply.  If the charter school in
located on property or in a building not owned by the local county school board, then
the private school rule and standards apply.


Residential Group Care Facilities information:
The Department of Health (DOH) inspects any DCF or AHCA licensed residential group
care facility listed above using Chapter 64E-12 of the Florida Administrative Code
(FAC).  These DOH group care environmental health inspections are conducted once
annually by environmental health field staff from the local county health department
(CHD).  While there is no state DOH fees related to annual residential group care
environmental health inspections, more than half of Florida 67 local CHDs do have
local inspection fees passed/approved through the local Board of County or City
Commissioners.  For information on local fees, please contact the local county
health department directly.
In various residential facilities an environmental health inspection  helps the
facility ensure good sanitary health and safety practices are in place related
to construction, operation, and maintenance among the residents, employees, and
visitors to the facility.  Our purpose is to prevent or minimize the risk of
transmitting disease, injury, or bodily harm. The list below includes some of the
primary areas the environmental health inspector checks for during their inspection
visit:
House Keeping, Lighting, Vermin/Animal Control, Bed/Bedding,
Water Supply, Liquid & Solid Waste, Housing, Sanitary Facilities,
Outdoor Area & Equipment, Indoor equipment/furnishings,
Food Hygiene & Sanitation, Sanitary bedding, Solid Waste/garbage,
Sanitary Facilities (Restrooms & Bathing Facilities), Repair and
Upkeep, Safe Outdoor Recreational Area, Vector and Vermin
Control, Water Temperature
The inspector will look throughout the facility to ensure it is being properly maintained.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process:
- Downloaded the dataset from FDOH on 5/10/2018 using this link:
  http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/gis/gis-data.html
  (original dataset in shapefile format and in the WGS 1984 geographic
  coordinate system).
- Dataset projected into the FGDL Albers HPGN projection using
  WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida.
- Dataset clipped to Florida, using the FGDL cntbnd_sep15 layer, removing
  extraneous features.
- DESCRIPT field added based on the COMPANYNAM field. Any records with
  no data in the COMPANYNAM field had their DESCRIPT field calculated as
  'NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE'.
- FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded
  from source.
- Removed the field "SepticAppl" due to lack of data.
- The longest record for each field was found and field character lengths
  were shortened to the appropriate shortest length possible.
- Uppercased fields and records in the dataset.
- Layer name changed from Group_Care.shp to groupcare_mar18.shp.
