South Carolina Long Term Health Care Administrator Practice Test

No individual may be the Administrator of more than how many nursing homes at the same time?

1. Two

2. One

3. Three

4. Four

The correct answer is: One

An individual may serve as the Administrator for only one nursing home at any given time in South Carolina. This regulation is in place to ensure that each facility receives adequate attention, oversight, and management. Proper administration requires a significant level of commitment, focus, and availability, as administrators are responsible for the overall operation of the facility, including regulatory compliance, staff management, resident care, financial oversight, and maintaining quality standards. Limiting administrators to a single facility prevents conflicts of interest and ensures that they can effectively address the specific needs and challenges of that nursing home, ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided to residents.
