Certified Executive for Assisted Living: A Certification for the Elite in Assisted Living Management
Is CEAL Right for You?
Are you an experienced assisted living executive looking for a competitive edge in the marketplace? Are you interested in obtaining the necessary skills to successfully lead an assisted living center in Ohio or, even possibly, nationwide? Then CEAL is the certification for you!
CEAL is a comprehensive certification program designed to elevate the skills and professionalism of assisted living administrators in Ohio by providing a national certification along with Ohio's most comprehensive state-specific training.
While the state of Ohio currently does not require a certification or license to be an administrator of a residential care facility (RCF), several states do require assisted living administrators to be licensed. Therefore CEAL has aligned its program curriculum with the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) Residential Care/Assisted Living Administrators Examination thereby allowing credentialed assisted living executives in Ohio to meet national competency standards .
Obtaining the Ohio CEAL will empower you to excel in the profession you love. And it will enhance your distinction within Ohio's growing and competitive assisted living marketplace.
Become part of the elite within Ohio's assisted living profession. Begin the process today. Become an Ohio CEAL!
The National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) is the leading national authority on licensing, credentialing, and regulating administrators of organizations along the continuum of long term care. To learn more, visit www.nabweb.org.

Training Course Format
The course begins with two days of state-specific training encompassing the current climate of assisted living in Ohio.

Highlighted within the training will be mock surveys at a licensed RCF and person-centered practices to support consumers with Alzheimer's Disease and dementia.
Following the initial two days of training, participants will be given two self-study manuals and will be required to complete an open-book test with an 85% or higher pass rate prior to beginning the final two days of training.
The final two days of training will cover NAB's areas of practice within the residential care/assisted living arena. This training will cover resident care management, financial management, human resource management, physical environment management and leadership. Quizzes and small group activities will reinforce the content through an overview of national best practices.
CEAL Certification
Within 60 days of completing CEAL training, candidates will be required to register for the NAB Residential Care/Assisted Living Administrators Licensing Examination. The Ohio CEAL will be awarded to candidates based on 100% class participation including the open-book test and in class quizzes as well as successful passage of the NAB Residential Care/Assisted Living Administrators Examination.
