Assisted Living Administration
 

As an LPN and previously taken the DSS approved Assisted Living Administration Caregivers Credentializing Center 125 hour program for Assisted Living Administration,  I stongly oppose the new regulations.  I am not able to be "grandfathered in" according to the new guidelines. 

Currently, I am not in an Administative role, however I continue to work in Assisted Living and keep up with the new regulations to maintain compliance.   All the studying, long hours and research that I worked so hard for are now thrown out the window.

I would like to see a review and revision to clearly advise those of us who are qualified to go further in an Administrative role but choose not to at this time.

Thank you for your time.
