A certificate in the Long-Term Care Administration is offered through the College of Health and Human Services for students who wish to obtain theoretical and practical knowledge in long-term care administration, as well as to prepare for the Illinois licensing examination for nursing home administrators. The certificate, along with successful completion of the nursing home administrator’s examination, will generally enhance prospects for employment in the long-term care industry.
The sequence of courses for the long-term care certificate is approved by the Illinois Department of Professional Registration under Section 310.40 of the rules for the Nursing Home Administrators Licensing Act.
