In 1962, a group of farsighted professionals in the field of gerontology saw the need to prepare for the rapid growth of this profession, which has a recorded history of more than three thousand years of effort to extend the length and to enhance the quality of life in later years. So, the American College of Nursing Home Administrators was founded.

Since 1962, the College has evolved to include all Long Term Care administrators as the American College of Health Care Administrators. Below is Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3 of the History of ACHCA.!
