Effective January 2, 2009 Virginia requires that all assisted living facilities that are licensed to provide assisted living care must have a Virginia licensed Assisted Living Facility Administrator.

All candidates for licensure must take and pass the national examination and complete an ALF Administrator in Training Program before licensure is granted. An Information for Candidates Handbook and reference study materials are available from the National Association of Long Term Care Boards (NAB), the testing vendor www.nabweb.org. Applications and forms can be found on our webpage.

Pursuant to §54.1-3102 B of the Code of Virginia, a person who holds a license as a nursing home administrator issued by the board may engage in the general administration of an assisted living facility.

Effective July 24, 2008, regulations for Nursing Home Administrators eliminated the state jurisprudence examination, for licensure by examination, and increased the number of Internet or self-study courses that may be obtained for continuing education.
