Regulations: Assisted Living Administrator Training Courses

People may qualify to be an assisted living administrator if they:

• Have a bachelor’s degree in a non-health related field from an accredited college and successfully complete a training course approved by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).

These requirements are described in Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 83.15(1)(c).

People also may qualify if they:

• Have at least two years of experience in a health care field, have direct contact with client/patient groups (Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 83.02(16)), and successfully complete a department-approved training course.
