(a) Upon verification of compliance with all requirements, the Board shall 'certify' an individual as having met, as of the date of the certification, the minimum requirements to be eligible to serve as a CAA within a single nursing facility, one which is administered by a licensed nursing home administrator who is serving as the administrator-of-record for that facility and for one-or-more additional licensed facilities within a 50-mile radius of each other and wherein the total number of occupied beds at all such facilities administered by this Administrator-of-Record does not exceed 120.

(b) The applicant shall be presented to the Board for consideration at the next Board meeting. Applicants are encouraged to attend the Board meeting.

(c) Certified applicants will receive a certificate documenting the Board's decision at the Board meeting if they are present or it will be mailed within 7 business days.

(d) As of the date the Board 'certifies' that an individual applicant meets the minimum requirements for that individual to serve in the capacity of an Assistant Administrator, the individual may serve in such an unlicensed capacity. However, it shall be the obligation of the Administrator-of-Record to subsequently verify that the individual serving as an Assistant Administrator continues to meet the minimum qualifications for continued certification (i.e. criminal background check and current employment in the industry as a supervisor). The administrator of record shall also require completion of CEUs in accordance with provisions in OAC 490:1-9-4, as a condition of employment, and a mechanism to ensure the assistant is current and professionally trained.
