In Florida, and in many other states, six-bed facilities are becoming very popular, as well. These smaller facilities are gaining popularity due to the fact that they are able to provide more personalized services. These facilities are usually in private homes and are licensed and regulated by the same governmental agencies that govern all of the Assisted Living Facilities, regardless of size. The smaller homes must pass all surveys and inspections required by the state in which they are located.
