Nursing Home Administrators HOME

Welcome to the Nursing Home Administrators Homepage

The Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators regulates and licenses nursing home administrators. The Board does not regulate assisted living administrators or home health care providers. The mission of the Board is to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Colorado by developing and maintaining rules and policies to ensure that only qualified persons are licensed to practice as nursing home administrators and that violators of the laws and rules regulating nursing home administration are sanctioned as appropriate.

Board activities include licensing nursing home administrators, investigating complaints about the licensed and unlicensed practice of nursing home administration, disciplining violators of the law and/or the Board's Rules. Activities also include making, amending, and adopting reasonable rules and regulations governing the conduct of nursing home administrators. The Board is made up of five members: three nursing home administrators and two public members.
