Overview

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. In order to be eligible for this program, you must be a Certified Personal Care Home Administrator (PCHA)

Assisted Living Administrators oversee the day-to-day operations of the assisted living facilities and ensure that all staff are providing the best service possible.
