Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, Miami University, Gerontology.
Given the rapidly changing world of long-term care and the evolving role of administrators and the regulatory standards they are required to meet, it is not clear what new administrators coming into the field need to know to practice effectively. The purpose of this study is to learn out what people entering the field of long-term care administration need to know from licensed administrators. This qualitative study used a three-pronged approach to examine: required curriculum for administrators (Core of Knowledge, Administrator in Training, and licensure testing), relevant texts on effective long-term care administration, and advice about effective practices from seasoned administrators. Seven administrators participated in in-depth interviews. Findings indicate that administrators felt they lacked knowledge in many key areas including: knowing the scope of what the job entails, personnel management, financial management, and documentation. They also stressed that love of older residents was a key component of job success.
