Licensure for Administrators
 

I passed the exam on May 28th, and while preparing I learned so much.  Examples:  Autonomy is the primary focus, national record keeping standards, ADA requirements for existing buildings and so much more.  Studying for the exam broadened my knowledge as a practicing administrator.  We all had enough time to prepare and take this industry to a higher level of accountability.

If you should reduce the experience requirements for persons seeking licensure as an Assisted Living Facility Administrator you would be executing a great injustice to our residents, families and the assisted living industry.
