SKILLED NURSING SERVICES
We provide short-term skilled nursing home visits to provide health assessment, health education, infusion therapy, and other nursing services as per the doctor’s order to children with cardiac defects (Shunt), feeding issues (NG/G/JT), and other complex medical diagnoses.
PERSONAL SUPPORT
Our Personal Support staff (CNAs) provide assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, meals, and housekeeping), monitor vital signs (including blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and temperature), and assist with ambulation, transfers, and more.
PRIVATE DUTY NURSING
We offer private duty nursing to children with complex needs via the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP). We provide care for kids diagnosed with neurological disorders, respiratory diseases/disorders, transplants, cancer, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine diseases/disorders, quadriplegic/paraplegic, and cardiac defects, among others.
SCHOOL NURSING
Our agency partners with different school systems within our service area to provide one-on-one nursing support to our children while in school. This allows them to be fully engaged without any interference with the child’s educational goals.
