Houston Pediatric Home Care Nursing Provider Cares for Complex Patients

Stafford, Texas, June 15, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Houston pediatric home care nursing service provider MedCare Pediatric Group, LP offers comprehensive long term or short term services for complex nursing patients. Services are available for children aged birth through 21 years old throughout the Greater Houston area. MedCare is always striving to improve its services to also improve patient experience and treatment. Current nursing services are being revamped in order to accommodate more complex needs of any nursing patient.

Private duty nursing is an arrangement wherein a qualified, pediatric-trained nurse provides one-on-one care for a child up to 24 hours a day, 7 days per week at home. The nurses who care for medically fragile children are required to have pediatric qualifications and trainings to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills required for tending to a child’s specific needs. This type of work also requires direct involvement and supervision from a pediatric registered nurse (RN) to oversee progress, develop treatment plans, collaborate with a child’s physician, address concerns, and provide assistance to clients and their family. MedCare’s RN supervisor is always on call, 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year.

The need for home care nursing services is determined by a child’s physician, hospital discharge planners, nursing staff, and social workers. However, many children who are medically fragile have potential to benefit from nursing services. Premature infants, cardiac-compromised children, ventilator-dependent children, and respiratory-compromised children are examples of who may qualify for home nursing care.

At present MedCare Pediatric Group is able to treat a number of complex medical needs like tracheotomies, gastrostomies, pulse oximetry and apnea monitor needs, nebulizer treatments, respiratory insufficiency, BPD, chronic lung disease, neurological deficits, seizure disorders, ventilator support needs, and genetic disorders. For parents who prefer short-term nursing services or prefer to provide the care on their own, skilled nursing visits may provide the needed education and support in order to care for children discharged from the hospital with in-home needs such as trach care, G-Button/NGT/G-Tube care and feeding pumps, oxygenation monitors and apnea monitors.
