Skilled nurses may monitor ventilator-related needs and provide care according to applicable orders, training, authorization, and the approved plan of care.
Children with complex respiratory needs
Care may support children who require frequent respiratory assessment, oxygen support, airway management, or other skilled interventions.
Children needing ongoing skilled observation
Pediatric private duty nursing may be appropriate when ongoing skilled nursing is medically necessary and ordered, authorized, staffed, and included in the child's plan of care.

Families share their experiences with Dynamiks Home Care across pediatric nursing, adult care, therapy, and home health aide support.
My family has been with this nursing company for over 5 years and have quality nurses working for them. The staff immediately answers questions, is in constant contact and inquires about the needs of my child. The nurses staffed for my son are the best and treat my child as their own family.
Everyone was very nice and helpful. I had at home PT after a total knee replacement. My therapist Shawn, who came regularly, was absolutely amazing. He helped me push and rebuild my strength quicker than I could’ve possibly imagined. Everyone has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend!
I love Dynamiks! I have had nothing but great experiences here with my son! The nurses are amazing and the owner of the agency is always available. This shows the dedication she has to her patients, and I am thankful to be a part of the Dynamiks family! I would give one thousand stars if I could!
It was really good that I have Dynamiks Home Care as my agency providing HHA services. Violette is a great caregiver, she helps me a lot, and she has more patience with me. I really love her as my HHA, she does everything for me.
