It is really sad when Assisted Living Administrators must fight for their jobs through being tested so much to prove they can do what they may have been doing for years.  I have been an administrator since 2000 in the same facility.  My residents are taken care of very well and most of the care was not learned from a test.  It is a natural, good and common sense approach to the care of others.  The costs associated with all of the proposed licensing is ridiculous and will continue to push good administrators out of their jobs as they may not have a corporate office to help offset the expense. 

What happened to the "grandfathering" of people who do their job very well and how about discontinuing the constant "not knowing what the state will come up with next" to try pushing us out of our jobs.  Continuing education is fine and we all do that but enough is enough with fees that hit us right and left.  As administrators, we have enough to do trying to abide by the rules and regulations that govern us.  Give us a break.
