In-home pediatric care

Pediatric PDN & skilled nursing

Private duty nursing (PDN) allows your medically fragile child to receive quality, skilled nursing care in the comfort of their home: a setting preferred by most patients and their families. Private duty nurses generally treat patients who need long-term care, provide customized medical care, and assist with daily activities. Studies show it is less expensive than a facility stay, costing up to half as much as a single hospital day. PDN is a covered benefit of most insurances including Medicaid or families can use private funds.

For pediatric patients who need care for a shorter period of time, we offer intermittent skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing visits are typically shorter than PDN visits, and our nurses focus more on medical care, rather than assisting with their patient’s daily lives.

Value-based approach to skilled care

All of our RNs, LPNs and LVNs are fully screened and credentialed, and have experience providing care for pediatric patients with a variety of ailments. Our team can help you and your child manage complex medical needs at home. 

This includes: 

• Ventilator and tracheostomy care
• G-tube care and management
• Diabetes management
• Seizure management
• Oxygen management
• TPN infusion
• Administering medications and therapies 

In addition to these services, our nurses will communicate any changes in patient condition to the office and physicians, reinforce education provided by hospital staff, promote education in the home, coordinate home medical equipment and supplies and assist with appointments. They can also help with personal care and meal preparation.
