Which of the following is NOT a function of the Department of Elder Affairs?

  1. Investigating abuse and neglect allegations

  2. Licensing assisted living facilities

  3. Administering healthcare insurance

  4. Core competency exam for administrators

The correct answer is: Administering healthcare insurance

The Department of Elder Affairs primarily focuses on the welfare of older adults, which includes a variety of responsibilities such as investigating allegations of abuse and neglect, licensing various types of elder care facilities, and ensuring that administrators of these facilities meet established competency standards. Administering healthcare insurance, however, typically falls under the jurisdiction of other departments or agencies that specialize in health care policy and administration, such as the Department of Health Care Services or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. These organizations are specifically tasked with managing public health programs and insurance coverage, which differentiates their functions from those of the Department of Elder Affairs.
