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.
