ALF Adminstrators Exam
 

Licensing administrators is a good idea, but basing the examination on anything other than the regulations we are required to follow is confusing and may cause many good and qualified administrators to no longer be able to provide a much needed service. 

As administrators leading our teams to provide quality care to the seniors entrusted to us is a large responsibility.  We spend a lot of time keeping abreast of the regulations we are required to adhere to.  I have taken some practice exams  and the questions that I have answered incorrectly have been the ones that are based on federal regulations that do not match Commonwealth of Virginia regulations which is frustrating.  Please consider basing the administrators exam on Virginia regulations.

Reapectfully,
