Agency Director, Order of Authority, and Service Supervisors

Requires the Agency to designate an Agency Director who meets the qualifications in 10A NCAC 13J, defines the Agency Director's authority and duties and the order of authority when the Agency Director is absent, requires a designated supervisor for each service (a registered nurse for in-home aide services, with an alternate registered nurse so one is always available), and sets the five-working-day notice to DHSR when the Agency Director position becomes vacant.
