I support this amendment!
 

As the CEO and founder of an Aging Life Care Management practice, I can attest to the fact that our community relies on residential licensed assisted living communities to meet the unique needs of their residents.  Creating additional barriers to training administrators that allow these critical care settings to run safely is a huge mistake, especially in light of a national caregiver shortage. We need MORE options for congregate care settings, not less.  And without enough opportunities to train future administrators, choices for older adults will be very limited.  I support the amendment to allow AITs to train in residential settings and limit their training opportunities solely to buildings who have 20 or more residents under one roof.
