About Medical Daycare / PPECC
A NEW SOLUTION TO AN OLD PROBLEM
The PPECC can be viewed as a “Medical Daycare” but in no way a “sick” daycare as the children who exhibit symptoms of any form of infection are asked to stay home from the PPECC.
The PPECC can be used in place of in home nursing or combined with in home coverage. Many times the dynamic of a person coming into the home for an 8 to 12 hour period does not work for all families. Also, if a shift is left uncovered it causes many problems for the family. The PPECC offers 100% coverage in a way that does not disrupt family life.
PPECC IS THE SOLUTION
The consistency that the PPECC offers allows parents to work, go to school and take care of other family responsibilities while their medically fragile child is cared for by professional nurses and patient support aides (PSA), in a fun, child friendly atmosphere on a regular basis.
This reliable nursing care is provided by our experienced pediatric nursing staff and offers guaranteed coverage which may help children and families avoid unnecessary ER visits, prolonged hospital stays and residential placement.
Who’s Eligible to Attend?
Medically fragile children from birth to 21 years of age who have ongoing medical needs would qualify for the PPECC services.
