US Nursing Home Administrator Licenses

Every licensed nursing home administrator in the covered states, from official government registries — with expiring-license and new-license lead flags, and disciplinary-history markers on each record. States included: Illinois (12,000+ records) and Delaware. Every state that publishes its full license roster through an official data feed gets added as we find it - no request needed.

This Actor pairs naturally with the US Nursing Home Deficiencies, Penalties & Violations dataset: one tells you what happened at a facility, the other tells you who is licensed to run one.

Who this is for

• Nursing home operators & staffing firms — administrators are a licensed, scarce role with constant turnover. The new licenses filter surfaces newly licensed administrators and administrators-in-training: the entire future hiring pipeline for this position.
• Elder-care attorneys — verify an administrator's license status and disciplinary history against the official state record when building a case.
• Acquirers & operators doing diligence — a facility must have a licensed administrator; check who holds the license and whether it's current.
• Insurers and compliance teams — bulk verification with disciplinary flags.

What you get

One normalized record per license: name, license number, category (administrator, administrator-in-training, acting, temporary), city, status, issue and expiration dates, computed expires_in_days, is_expiring_soon, is_new_license, and ever_disciplined flags. Export to Excel, CSV, or JSON in one click, or pull on a schedule via API.

How to use it

1. Pick your states (or leave empty for all covered states).
2. Pick a record filter: all, expiring soon, or recently issued — with the window in months.
3. Set maximum records — you're only charged for what's delivered.

One schema across every state

Every licence roster in this catalogue delivers the same columns, in the same order, meaning the same thing — whichever state or profession the records came from. Stack this dataset on top of any other KempData roster and the columns line up.

That takes real work. Illinois writes a lapsed licensee as NOT RENEWED in block capitals; Delaware writes the identical situation as Delinquent. Both arrive here as status: "lapsed". Names arrive SHOUTING and glued together; they leave as full_name, first_name, middle_name, last_name in proper case. Dates are MM/DD/YYYY, with an _iso twin for spreadsheets and imports.

The state's own word is never thrown away. Every translated value ships beside a *_raw twin — status_raw, credential_raw, name_raw — holding the source's exact string, so you can always check our work or apply your own rules. status_basis tells you whether the standing is the state's published fact or computed from the expiration date.

lapsed is worth knowing about. It is the recall pool: people who held the licence, let it run out, and can renew. When you need experienced people in a hurry, that is the list to call.

Data source & fair use

All data comes from official state open-data APIs: the Illinois IDFPR professional-licensing roster and the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation roster. These are public records the states publish for exactly this kind of use — no scraping. The Actor reads politely (paged requests, rate-limit handling) and republishes only what the states themselves make public.
