New online licensure and certification system for health and residential care providers

Scam targeting U.S. Bank customers
DHS is aware of an organized impersonation scam that targets U.S. Bank customers. Impersonators are contacting customers by phone, posing as representatives from the U.S. Bank Fraud Department. They may claim issues with recently initiated wire transfers. The DHS DQA Provider Portal uses U.S. Bank for the payment of fees. Please be aware of this impersonation scam if you are paying fees through the DHS DQA Provider Portal.
People may qualify to be an assisted living administrator if they:
Have a bachelor's degree in a non-health related field from an accredited college and successfully complete a training course approved by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).
These requirements are described in Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 83.15(1)(c).
People also may qualify if they:
Have at least two years of experience in a health care field, have direct contact with client/patient groups (Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 83.02(16)), and successfully complete a department-approved training course.
