Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week took place September 7th-13th. This is a nationally recognized week that provides an opportunity to pause, acknowledge, and highlight the dedicated direct support workforce who provide supports to people with disabilities. This past weekend, PCCS (amongst many organizations), came together for an amazing event in honor of DSPs.

Presented by eVero Corporation and USI Insurance, Direct Support Professional Appreciation Day was a great success. With over 900 people coming out to celebrate the accomplishments and dedication of DSPs', an afternoon of celebration and fun took Staten Island by storm.

To all who shared their support and came out to celebrate DSP Recognition Week/Appreciation Day, we sincerely thank you. Another huge thank you to our sponsors, Empire State Bank, Hudson Regional LTC Pharmacy, Comserv Connect, and Aurora Computer Technology, Inc.

Let’s make sure the tradition of having DSPs feel seen, valued, and appreciated continues every day.

📅 Happy National Working Parents Day!

Today, we proudly celebrate the incredible working parents at Person Centered Care Services and beyond — the advocates and changemakers who balance family life while continuing to make a difference in our community every day. 💙

Being a parent is a full-time job on its own. Adding the heart-driven work of supporting people and families through their mission takes true dedication and compassion.

To all the working parents on our team:
✨ Thank you for your strength.
✨ Thank you for your resilience.
✨ Thank you for showing up — at home and at work — with purpose and love.

You inspire us all.

We will never forget.
