Need more than one administrator
 

Please allow for more than one administrator.  One administrator cannot harm a facility;it can only enhance or exceed. An administrator will be in place for visitors, licensing, and other agencies--fire, health, case managers, ancillary staff, etc.  Both will be qualified, therefore, they will be able to take vacations separately, attend trainings at different times, eat lunch at different times, alternate times being out of the building, and be accessible to staff.  Administrators have passed the state exam, have paid their annual dues of $350, and have maintained their qualifications.  Why would the state not allow these qualified staff to maintain their qualifications?  If they are not an administrator at an ALF, they will not be able to keep their license.
