What is an Assisted Living Administrator?
Assisted living administrators manage, outline and coordinate services geared toward older adults who may require assistance with eating, bathing, taking medication and other basic functions. They oversee the day-to-day operations of the assisted living facilities and ensure that all staff are providing the best service possible.
How do I become an Assisted Living Administrator?
According to 55 PA Code Chapter 2800, prior to employment as an Assisted Living Administrator, you must take this 15-hour training program in addition to the 100-hour Personal Care Home Administrator training and exam.
Administrators must take a state-approved course or program and pass an exam in order to become licensed.
15-hour Assisted Living Administrator Program (1.5 CEUs)
You must be a certified Personal Care Home Administrator with the State of Pennsylvania to participate in this training. These hours count towards yearly CEU requirements.
Available through our partnering campus Penn State York, an approved provider by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (formerly the Department of Public Welfare.)
