Pediatric private duty nursing care is specialized care provided to children with complex medical conditions or disabilities in their home by a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). This type of nursing involves one-on-one care and support for children with medical needs that require ongoing, continuous care.
The goal of pediatric private duty nursing is to provide personalized care to meet the unique needs of each child and their family, allowing the child to receive high-quality care in the comfort of their own home. Pediatric private duty nurses are trained to administer medication, provide wound care, monitor vital signs, and manage other medical needs, as well as offer emotional support and education to families.
The need for pediatric private duty nursing can arise due to a wide range of conditions such as congenital defects, chronic illnesses, traumatic injuries, and developmental disabilities. This type of nursing can help improve the child’s quality of life, prevent hospitalizations, and reduce the burden on families who would otherwise have to manage complex medical needs on their own.
We recognize the unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each person receiving health care in the home. We strive to extend the highest level of courtesy and service to patients and families.
