I feel like that new requirements for ALF Administrators are to demanding.  I am enrolled in a DSS approved ALF Administrator progrma because I do not have the time or the financial means to go to college for the hours the new regs are insisting of.  I run a small 31 bed AG facility who needs constant attention from me.  With that alone there is not much time left in an average day to go to college.  Plus there are alot of people that I know that are great Administrators but awful college students.  Why can't we leave the regs like they are so pople who can not afford or does not do well in college settings be allowed to take a DSS approved course and be probably one of the better Administrators that we all know.  In considering this please remember that it is not how you get the education that is important it is the heart and compassion someone has as well as the determination to be the best Adminstrator he or she can be.
