Pediatric private duty nursing, in your home
Skilled, compassionate in-home nursing for medically complex children — so families can care for their child safely at home, with expert support.
What is pediatric private duty nursing?
What private duty nursing provides
Private duty nursing gives a child with complex medical needs dedicated, hours-long nursing care at home — far more individualized than intermittent visits. RNs and LPNs manage equipment, medications, and changes in condition while keeping families confident and supported.
Care is built around the child's physician orders and the family's daily life, so a medically fragile child can grow up at home rather than in a facility.
Who pediatric nursing is for
Medically complex & fragile children
Children who need skilled nursing beyond what intermittent visits provide.
Technology-dependent children
Trach, ventilator, feeding tube, or IV-dependent care at home.
Families needing skilled support
Expert in-home nursing so caregivers can rest and work with peace of mind.
How in-home nursing works
Care is delivered in your home by RNs and LPNs, scheduled around your child's needs and your family's routine — including extended day, overnight, and around-the-clock support where ordered.
We coordinate with your child's physicians and follow the plan of care, adjusting as needs change.
