On April 1, 2014 and June 1, 2014, the Delaware Board of Nursing Home Administrators published proposed changes to its regulations in the Delaware Register of Regulations, Volume 17, Issues 10 and 12. The notice indicated that written comments would be accepted by the Board, a public hearing would be held, and written comments would be accepted for fifteen days thereafter.
After due notice in the Register of Regulations and two Delaware newspapers, a public hearing was held on March 10, 2015 at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Nursing Home Administrators to receive verbal comments regarding the Board's proposed amendments to its regulations.

At the time of the deliberations, the Board considered the following documents:
Board Exhibit 1- Affidavit of publication of the public hearing notice in the News Journal; and
Board Exhibit 2 - Affidavit of publication of the public hearing notice in the Delaware State News.
There was no verbal testimony presented at the public hearing. No written comments were received by the Board.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The public was given notice and an opportunity to provide the Board with comments on the proposed amendments to the Board's regulations in writing and by testimony at the public hearing.
2. There were no public comments provided to the Board during the written public comment periods.
3. Pursuant to 24 Del.C. §5206(1) the Board has the statutory authority to promulgate rules and regulations clarifying specific statutory sections of its statute.

2.0 Application for Licensure by Examination
2.1 Applications shall be made in writing on forms provided by the Board.
2.2 To obtain licensure, applicants must meet the educational and experience requirements and including completion of a program that the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) has approved, such as the Institute for Continuing Education & Research 120 hour program, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, long term care education, St. Joseph’s College of Maine Nursing Home and Assisted Living Administration or York College of Pennsylvania 120 hour program.
2.2.1 Applicants who have completed a baccalaureate or graduate degree from an accredited college or university with a major in long term care administration or the equivalent thereof are not required to complete the NAB program set forth in regulation 2.2.
2.3 Applicants must pass the National Association of Boards (“NAB”) examination.
2.34 Applicants must obtain Board approval before they may take the NAB examination. To obtain Board approval, applicants must:
2.34.1 Submit satisfactory evidence of having met one of the educational requirements under Section 5209(a)(1) of Title 24 of the Delaware Code, and
2.34.2 Submit a plan to complete the Administrator-In-Training (“AIT”) program that corresponds with their education in accordance with regulation section 3.0, and
2.34.3 Identify the applicant’s preferred Preceptors.
2.45 If the Board is satisfied that the applicant has completed the requisite education and approves the applicant’s AIT plan and preferred Preceptors, the applicant shall be approved to begin their AIT program under the direct supervision of the approved Preceptors.
2.45.1 Approved applicants shall begin their AIT program immediately.
2.45.2 Applicants not approved by the Board may be given the opportunity to rectify deficiencies in their applications before denial of their application is proposed.
2.56 Applicants approved to take the examination will be granted licensure once the Board receives confirmation that the applicant has achieved a passing score of 75% or more on the National Association of Boards (“NAB”) examination.
2.56.1 Applicants who do not pass the first examination may retake the examination within the following three months after the date of the exam without further Board approval.
2.56.2 Applicants who do not pass the second examination may retake the examination within the following six months after the date of the exam without further Board approval.
2.56.3 Applicants who do not pass the third examination must obtain Board approval each time they wish to retake the examination. The Board will approve these applicants to retake the examination only after they complete 40 additional hours working under the direct supervision of a Delaware-licensed nursing home administrator in a skilled nursing facility previously approved by the Board.
3.0 Administrator-In-Training (“AIT”) Program
3.1 Every Administrator-In-Training (AIT) program shall be approved by the Board and shall be conducted under the direct supervision of the Pre-Approved Preceptor(s). The start date and expiration date of the approved AIT program shall be printed on the AIT license. AIT Progress Reports must be submitted to the Board by the AIT every three (3) months for the duration of the AIT program. Supervised training of the AIT must continue for the entire duration of the AIT program, regardless of whether or not the AIT outline has been fulfilled.
3.2 AIT programs must be split between a skilled nursing facility (“SNF”) and an assisted living facility (”ALF”). If the Sponsoring Facility is an SNF, the Board will require that at least 10% of the program be completed in an ALF. If the Sponsoring Facility is an ALF, the Board will require that at least 25% of the program be completed in an SNF. The training for each subject of the program shall be conducted in the proper facility. Because the AIT program is split between an SNF and an ALF, a preceptor is required for each type of facility.
3.3 Its shall begin their program immediately after receiving notification of approval of their AIT plan and Preceptors.
3.4 Preceptors shall make themselves available to provide direction, observation, aid, training, and instruction to their AIT. Preceptors shall submit quarterly progress reports to the Board. AIT programs are expected to be an interactive process between the Preceptor and their AIT to ensure that the AIT fully experiences the nature and scope of a nursing home administrator’s responsibilities.
3.5 AIT programs are expected to provide applicants with experience that will establish their suitability and fitness to practice as a nursing home administrator and their ability to perform the essential functions of a nursing home administrator. Examples of essential functions are:
•
Understanding and communicating general and technical information that is necessary to the administration and operation of a nursing home with or without reasonable accommodation i.e., applicable health and safety regulations.
•
Assuming responsibility for the administration of a nursing home.
•
Relating the physical, psychological, spiritual, emotional, and social needs of ill or aged individuals to the administration of a nursing home and creating the compassionate climate necessary to meet the needs of the patients with or without reasonable accommodation.
3.6 AIT programs must be completed within the allotted time, including any extensions granted by the Board; otherwise the AIT license expires and the individual must submit a new application for licensure as an AIT.
3.7 Extensions may be granted at the sole discretion of the Board upon written request by an AIT or a Preceptor. Requests for extensions must be submitted before the expiration of the AIT licensing certificate and must provide a detailed explanation of the reason an extension is needed.
