FL Law - is it OK to leave bedridden patient alone in house?

[♥Socially Awkward♥]

Hi all,

I've got a quick question that I'd like to try to get an answer to before I contact authorities. A friend has advanced MS and cannot transfer in or out of bed by himself. To save money he's decided to not have a care professional overnight. I've heared that there's some sort of law against this since he cannot get out of the house in case of a fire. He lives alone.

Without doing to the authorities, can someone help tell me if he's endangering himself legally?

There's no law against a mentally capable disabled person living alone. If he chooses to take the risk, it's his to take.
