VHCA (1/4/2008)

The final Assisted Living Administrators (ALF) Regulations were published in the Virginia Register on November 26, 2007.  These regulations became effective on January 2, 2008.  Until January 2, 2009, an individual who has served full-time as the administrator of record or assistant administrator of record in an ALF licensed in Virginia for two of the four years immediately proceeding January 2, 2008 is eligible to be licensed by the Board when providing documentation of experience and a passing score on the NAB examination. 

Additionally, full-time Regional Administrators with on-site supervisory responsibilities for one or more ALFs will qualify for licensure if they can provide evidence of at least two years experience as an ALF administrator and a passing score on the national credentialing exam.
