What time period should a full-time administrator spend primarily present in the nursing home?

A full-time administrator should primarily be present during the normal work week because this is when the majority of operational activities and decision-making occur within the nursing home. During this time, administrators can effectively manage staff, interact with residents and their families, oversee care practices, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and address any arising issues in real time.

The normal work week is critical for fostering a stable environment, building relationships with the staff, and engaging in discussions that impact daily operations. Being present during these times allows the administrator to lead effectively, implement policies, and enhance the quality of care provided to residents.

While weekends, evening hours, and special events also require attention, the everyday functioning, administrative oversight, and staff management primarily take place during the standard weekdays. This ensures that the administrator is actively involved in the facility's daily operations and can respond promptly to any concerns or changes that may arise.
