To operate an Adult Care Home, you'll need at least one year (52 weeks) of full-time, verifiable experience providing hands-on care to the population you want to serve. A current Certified Nursing Assistant certificate counts as six months of experience towards an APD-Class 1 license. 

Additional experience is required to serve people with developmental disabilities. You will need training and experience in recordkeeping, resident screening, writing care plans or Individual Service Plans, and medication management.
