What the Index will publish for Florida

Methodology

Agencies tracked: Home care organizations holding at least one active license of a type the state's own rules define as relevant. Hospice-only organizations are excluded.
New agencies (30 and 90 days): Organizations first licensed, or first detected, inside the trailing window. Shown only after HomeCareIntent has observed the whole window.
Licensing events (30 days): New licenses and locations, closures, status, administrator, licensee and address changes. Dated by the source where it publishes a date.
New agencies per month: A 12-month series. Months before HomeCareIntent's history for a state begins are marked “Not tracked,” never drawn as zero.
Top markets: Cities ranked by tracked organizations. Cities with fewer than three are not ranked.
