I really feel that the impact study needs to be reviewed. With that proposed, the requirements for administartors will prevent many homes from being able to afford someone that meets the proposed qualifications. What are we trying to gain from this? Changing the requirments for the administartor will not impact the true areas that need addressed. The areas of concern are not with the actual educational requirements of administators, but rather, with those that hire them. These proposed reg's are far too reaching. Look at most violations that occur in an assisted living home - would stronger educational requirements for an administrator lessen the violations? No. Thus, what need is it to financially burden assited living homes with increased costs that will not correct the problems at hand ? I ask that a stronger review of these matters be made to prevent yet another over burnden policy being put on facilities that cannot afford any further burdens that will not correct most problems at hand.
