Caring for a child with medical needs can be overwhelming, but families don’t have to do it alone. Pediatric home care provides professional medical support in the comfort of a child’s home, allowing them to receive high-quality care while remaining in a familiar environment. Care at Home offers pediatric home care services designed to support both children and their families with compassionate, skilled assistance.

What Is Pediatric Home Care?

Pediatric home care is specialized medical and personal care provided to children with chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities, or recovery needs. This type of care allows children to receive medical attention, therapy, and daily assistance at home rather than in a hospital or facility. Care at Home provides experienced caregivers and skilled nurses who work closely with families to ensure each child receives personalized support tailored to their unique needs.

How Pediatric Home Care Benefits Families

One of the biggest benefits of pediatric home care is that it helps families maintain a sense of normalcy. Home is where children feel safest, and receiving care in a comfortable setting can reduce stress and anxiety. Parents can also stay actively involved in their child’s care while receiving the professional support they need.

Pediatric home care also allows parents and caregivers to focus on their family’s daily routines without worrying about hospital visits or extended stays. Whether it’s assistance with medical needs or providing relief for parents, this type of care brings peace of mind and stability to the home.

Services Included in Pediatric Home Care

Pediatric home care includes a variety of medical and personal support services tailored to the child’s condition and family’s needs. At Care at Home, our services include:

• Skilled Nursing Care – Nurses provide medical treatments, monitor vital signs, and manage medications. This is especially helpful for children with complex medical conditions requiring ongoing attention.
• Personal Care Assistance – Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, feeding, and other daily activities to ensure comfort and well-being.
• Therapy Services – Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be provided at home to help children develop essential skills and maintain mobility.

Owner at Care at Home

Ann Smith, RN, Realtor® Your local Home care and Home transition expert Ann is a Registered Nurse and a Realtor with a passion and dedication to serving her community. She has over twenty years of nursing experience in pediatric, geriatric, home health care, and care management. She founded Care at Home, a home care company, to provide seniors with services that promote independence and safe aging in place. Ann is dedicated to helping seniors achieve stress-free retirement living by providing comprehensive services from health to home. Ann's mother instilled in her the value of hard work, dedication, and service to others at a young age, which is now a driving force in her home care agency. Her caring and compassionate work with seniors began when she was just 17 years old. She was offered a job as a caregiver. Just as quickly, she instinctively knew that this would be her life's work. She soon became a nurse and has since helped many older adults transition seamlessly into a new phase of life. While helping seniors and individuals with their home care needs, it became apparent that part of the transition process often involved selling their current home for more suitable living arrangements. That's when Ann decided to add real estate services to alleviate stress and enhance her client's experience. It's also how she became known as the Home Transition Agent. Today, Ann helps her mature clients achieve stress-free retirement living by providing in-home care and comprehensive services from health to home. Ann's love for children and dedication to helping families caring for children with chronic health conditions inspired Pediatric Care at Home, a division of Care at Home that provides pediatric nursing care. Ann and her team are dedicated to providing compassionate care to all, from infants to older adults. When Ann isn't busy helping her patients and clients, she volunteers her time at women's shelters and fostering dogs. She and her veteran husband enjoy a simple life in the countryside, where farm animals and country life surround them. Ann also enjoys reading, photography, gardening, and nature walk with their dogs.
