Ill. Admin. Code tit. 77, § 390.500 - Administrator
a) There shall be
an full-time administrator licensed under the Nursing Home Administrators
Licensing and Disciplinary Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 111, par. 1651 et
seq.) for each licensed facility. The administrator shall be a high school
graduate or equivalent and at least 18 years of age. The licensee will report
any change in administrator to the Department, within five days.
b) The administrator shall delegate in
writing adequate authority to a person at least 18 years of age who is capable
of acting in an emergency during his absence. Such administrative assignment
shall not interfere with resident care and supervision. The administrator or
the person designated by the administrator to be in charge of the facility in
the administrator's absence, shall be deemed by the Department to be the agent
of the licensee for the purposes of Section 3-212 of the Act, which requires
Department staff to provide the licensee with a copy of their report before
leaving the facility.
c)The
licensee and administrator shall be familiar with this Part. They shall be
responsible for seeing that the applicable regulations are met in the facility
and that employees are familiar with those regulations according to the level
of their responsibilities.
d)The
administrator shall arrange for facility supervisory personnel to annually
attend appropriate educational programs on supervision, nutrition, and other
pertinent subjects.
e)The
administrator shall appoint in writing a member of the facility staff to
coordinate the establishment of, and render assistance to, the residents'
advisory council.
f)If the facility
has an assistant administrator, the Department shall be informed of the name
and dates of employment and termination of this person. This will provide
documentation of service to qualify for a license under the Nursing Home
Administrators Licensing and Disciplinary Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 111,
par. 3651 et seq.)
