How  did this come about?The current general concenses is that regulations need to be more user friendly.Many operators are going out of business ,as the need continues to grow stronger.The outlook of a.g.homes are bleek as costs continue to esculate.We are mandated by min wage to increase by 70 cents per hour ,while the state passes on the s.s.i.increase to a.g. for 50cents a day and the state claims they give you a raise. A good course for the state to help and preserve a.g. facilities would help.No one wants to continue to do this because of the current regulations, and more to come. I think if your are a current administrator and you pass your licensure study ,you should automatically qualify to be grandfathered in .That should demonstrate you are competent to be an administrator and the state can issue a license as well as take it away.

We are not considered long term care ,but we are being governed by long term care baord.

We are not considered a nursing  facilty but are governed by the board of nursing .D.S.S. website clearly states we are  {non-medical } facilty.

Thanks again for the opportunity to express my views .I hope this helps you and you can help us .
