All correspondence and inquiries should be directed to the Board of Nursing Home Administrators Staff at 4052 Bald Cypress Way Bin #C07; Tallahassee, FL 32399-3257. Since this Board serves as a "quasi judicial" entity on licensure issues, contact with the members may cause the members to be recused from administrative proceedings.
