Pediatric Home Health Care in Florida

Pediatric home health care brings skilled nursing and supportive services to your home for children with medical or developmental needs. Care may include ventilator/trach support, G-tube feeding, medication administration, seizure monitoring, and caregiver education—delivered under RN supervision and coordinated with your child’s physicians and therapists.

Children with medical complexities, chronic illnesses, developmental delays, or special needs may qualify for pediatric home health in Florida. Eligibility often depends on your child’s diagnosis and insurance coverage. Our team can help you navigate the process and determine if your child qualifies.

Often yes. Florida Medicaid and many private plans cover home care for children when it’s medically necessary. Our team verifies eligibility, explains benefits, and manages prior authorizations. Before care begins, we review any copays or cost-sharing so families understand coverage and next steps.

Services can include respiratory support (vent/trach), suctioning, G-tube/feeding, medication management, wound care, seizure precautions, vital-sign tracking, and caregiver training. Your nurse follows a physician-informed plan under RN oversight, updating goals as needs change to keep care consistent, safe, and aligned with your child’s treatment plan.

After intake and benefit verification, we work to begin services within 24–72 hours when approvals and staffing allow. Timelines vary by payer authorizations, clinician availability, and preferred shifts. We communicate progress at each step so families always know what’s required and when care can start.

Private Duty Nursing (PDN) provides one-to-one skilled nursing by an RN or LPN. A home health aide (HHA) supports daily living—bathing, feeding, mobility, and supervision. Some children receive both. The mix depends on medical necessity and payer rules; we’ll confirm what’s covered for your child.

Absolutely. We collaborate with your child’s physicians, therapists, and school team to align goals, reinforce therapy carryover, and share updates. RN supervisors review the plan of care and communicate changes so everyone stays informed and care remains consistent at home and in the community.

Equipment depends on your child’s needs and provider orders—examples include suction, ventilator supplies, feeding pumps, pulse oximeters, and mobility supports. We coordinate with your DME vendor, confirm deliveries, and ensure nurses are trained on your child’s specific setup and safety procedures.
