I have served in the assisted living industry in Virginia over the last 25 years, and about 10 of those years as an assisted living administrator.  I recently took and passed the national administrators exam, and was concerned by how gneric the test was.  It is my understanding that the Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the first states to have comprehensive licensing standards for assisted living, and it is my opinion that the test for administrators in the state should be geared towards a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the VA regulations, which would encompass the general assisted living practices on the national exam as well.  I think this approach would enhanced the quality of life of our Virginia residents in assisted living, as well as team members working in assisted living.   Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
