Graduate Certificate in Nursing Home Administration

Acquire the skills to be an effective and compassionate leader in Long Term Care.

Earn your Graduate Certificate in Nursing Home Administration from the University of Wisconsin—100% online.

A strong leadership team has a significant impact on the quality of care provided to patients. Acquire the skills and knowledge to meet the growing demand for senior living services across the Long-Term Care (LTC) continuum, including memory care, adult day care centers, home healthcare, continuing care retirement communities, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, and hospice care.

In the certificate, you’ll complete courses that align with the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) CORE Domains of Practice:

• Long Term Care services that ensure quality of care, safety, and well-being of residents, and support their psychological, physical, medical, and social needs.
• Facility operations including financial and risk management, and human resources.
• Regulatory compliance with laws governing the operation of licensed nursing homes.
• Developing and maintaining a high-quality, supportive, and patient-centered environment.
• Leadership and organizational strategies that ensure effective administration.

Courses are entirely online—asynchronous, with zero on-campus, virtual, or in-person meeting requirements—an ideal format for busy professionals. Watch lectures, participate in online forums with your classmates, and—although assignments have deadlines—do homework whenever it’s convenient for you.
