Request DPS CoverageYour LHCSA cannot operate without a qualified Director of Patient Services.
The Director of Patient Services is the clinical backbone of every Licensed Home Care Services Agency in New York. The DPS is responsible for overseeing patient care, supervising field staff, ensuring documentation compliance, and maintaining the clinical standards DOH expects to see during surveys. When the DPS is unavailable — whether for planned leave or an unexpected departure — the agency’s clinical operations and compliance posture are immediately at risk.
AllPro’s founder Yulandie Latham is a registered nurse and LHCSA operator who understands exactly what a DPS candidate needs to walk into an active LHCSA and keep operations running without disruption. Every candidate AllPro recommends for an interim DPS role has verified LHCSA clinical experience, an active NYS RN license, and the specific knowledge of home care regulations that generic staffing agencies cannot assess.
Vacation and Sick Leave Coverage
Short-term interim DPS coverage for planned vacation or unexpected sick leave. AllPro provides vetted RNs with LHCSA experience who can step in immediately and maintain continuity of clinical operations.
Maternity Leave Coverage
Extended interim DPS arrangements for agencies whose DPS is on maternity or extended medical leave. AllPro matches agencies with experienced RNs who can commit to the full leave period.
Sudden Vacancy Coverage
When a DPS resigns unexpectedly, the agency needs a qualified interim immediately. AllPro prioritizes urgent DPS vacancy situations and works to connect agencies with a qualified RN as quickly as possible.
Survey and Audit Period Support
RN support during DOH survey periods and high-volume audit periods when additional clinical oversight is needed beyond what the current DPS can manage alone.
Why AllPro’s DPS candidates are different from general staffing agencies.
A general staffing agency can find you an RN. What it cannot do is assess whether that RN understands LHCSA clinical requirements, HCS documentation obligations, DOH survey expectations, and the specific supervisory responsibilities of the DPS role under 10 NYCRR 766. AllPro’s nurse-led vetting process checks for all of these.
- Active New York State Registered Professional Nurse license confirmed before any introduction
- Minimum one year of direct LHCSA or CHHA clinical experience verified through reference checks
- Familiarity with UAS assessments, plans of care, and supervisory visit documentation requirements
- Understanding of HCS account obligations and EPOC compliance processes
- Knowledge of DOH survey areas and what surveyors look for in patient care documentation
- Availability confirmed for the full coverage period before the introduction is made
