With a wealth of experience in pediatric care, you can rely on The Lakes Home Care to care for your medically complex child.
Compassionate Care for Your Child
When your child’s health is at risk, we’re here to provide the support you need. Our team of nurses, therapists, and home health aides offer comprehensive care in the comfort of your home. We collaborate with your family and healthcare providers to create personalized care plans that best suit your child’s needs.
Pediatric Private Duty Nursing (PDN) & Skilled Nursing
Private duty nursing (PDN) allows your medically fragile child to receive professional, skilled care at home, a setting that is often preferred by both patients and their families. PDN is typically used for long-term care, providing individualized medical attention and support with daily activities. Studies show that PDN is more cost-effective than staying in a facility, sometimes costing up to 50% less than a hospital stay. PDN is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicaid, or families may choose to pay with private funds.
For pediatric patients requiring care for a shorter duration, we also offer intermittent skilled nursing services. These visits are generally shorter than PDN sessions and focus primarily on medical needs rather than daily activities.
Value-Based Skilled Care
All of our registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) are thoroughly screened and credentialed, with extensive experience in caring for pediatric patients with a variety of medical conditions. Our team is dedicated to helping manage complex medical needs in the home.
Our services include:
- Ventilator and tracheostomy care
- G-tube care and management
- Diabetes management
- Seizure management
- Oxygen management
- TPN infusion
- Administering medications and therapies
Additionally, our nurses will report any changes in your child’s condition to the office and physicians, reinforce hospital instructions, promote home-based education, manage medical equipment and supplies, and assist with appointments. They also help with personal care and meal preparation.
24/7 Care
With numerous office locations across the country, we ensure that our patients and their families have access to on-call support whenever needed, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.
In-Home Therapy
When your child needs rehabilitation, our therapists provide customized therapy programs to meet their unique needs. Our team is trained to assist patients with neurological, orthopedic, post-surgical, and developmental diagnoses, and we adjust our services as your child’s needs evolve.
