Special Care for Special Kids
Our Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) Center provides an
array of services for children with special medical needs. Services
include day healthcare, developmental planning and interventions,
therapies, case management, and parent support and education.
Our staff of nurses and pediatric professionals works directly with
pediatricians, therapists, social workers, developmental
specialists, teachers, pediatric sub-specialists and dieticians to
provide special-needs children comprehensive medical care. The staff
is trained to identify and treat acute illnesses or chronic
conditions in order to avert possible hospitalization and
interruption in the child’s treatment program.
Transportation services are available for eligible children, making
it easier for parents to go to work or take an ill child’s siblings
to school each day.
The Loving Touch
Our PPEC Center is a friendly and nurturing place for children who
require health-focused care and therapy services during the day.
Children also receive the benefits of socialization and peer
stimulation, which is a unique advantage to this type of program.
Parents benefit as well by having the peace of mind that their
children are receiving tender loving care when they are not at home.
Help for Families
Treatment options, however, are not limited to hospital visits.
Today’s advances in medical technology are allowing more and more
children to be cared for outside the traditional hospital and
medical facilities. But this also has created a new dilemma for many
families: providing complex day-to-day care for a child with special
medical needs.
The PPEC Center can help families with this challenge by caring for
children in a cheerful, non-institutional setting where both child
and family receive the care and emotional support they need to enjoy
as normal a family life as possible.
Quality Care Assurance
Licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), the
PPEC Center is adjacent to the hospital and pediatric specialists,
ensuring that the best pediatric medical care is easily accessible.
