Nurse's Helping Hands, INC. was inspected 26 times between September 28, 2012 and November 17, 2025 by Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration. 4 of those visits ended with deficiencies cited and 19 with none, and 3 were follow-up visits confirming corrections. Across that history AHCA recorded 14 deficiencies, 1 of them in the two most serious classes. The state has taken 5 legal actions against this license, with fines totalling $7,000.
The most recent visit is recorded as “No Deficiencies”. A deficiency is a rule violation recorded by a state surveyor. Follow-up visits that confirm a correction are counted separately from the visits that cited the problem, so the same issue is never counted twice.
