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.

Personal Care Home Administrators must take a state-approved course, such as the Penn State Assisted Living Administrator 15-hour training (1.5 CEUs), and pass an exam in order to become certified as an Assisted Living Administrator.

You are also required to attend a free Assisted Living Administrator Orientation by the Department of Human Services before you are considered an Assisted Living Administrator.
