Program Overview:
This Administrator Leadership Course (ALC) program has been modeled after the Long Term Care Leadership Institute (LI), but will be focused specifically for newer Licensed Nursing Home Administrators (LNHA). The course will provide eight full days of education to further develop new administrators’ practical skills and tools to effectively and efficiently lead the day to day operations of a skilled nursing facility. It will provide the opportunity to learn or enhance skills, fine tune existing knowledge, explore value based leadership, and operationalize the skills and competencies that are needed to be a successful LNHA. The course has been developed with assistance of an advisory task force made up of experts from the academia, skilled nursing facilities, the ACHCA and consultants. Instructors for this course have been selected based on their topical expertise. This course is being supported by The Foundation for Quality Care and NYSHFA.
