MedCare Offers Pediatric Home Care Nursing for Complex Medical Needs
MedCare aims to help children with complex nursing needs by providing long-term or short-term services for children aged birth to 21 years old.
Stafford, Texas, August 18, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Medcare Pediatric Group, a renowned provider of pediatric therapy and nursing services in the Greater Houston area including, Katy, Stafford, Spring, Northshore and Pasadena, offers pediatric home care nursing services for children with complex medical needs. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, complex nursing patients experience frequent and lengthy hospitalizations. Discharging children with such needs, especially those who have technology dependencies, might be a complicated matter that requires ongoing healthcare at home to minimize the need to visit a hospital.
MedCare aims to help children with complex nursing needs by providing long-term or short-term services for children aged birth to 21 years old. The service is primarily available to children within the Greater Houston area. MedCare caters to situations such as gastrostomies, tracheotomies, pulse oximetry, respiratory insufficiency, BPD, neurological deficits, chronic lung disease, seizure disorders, genetic disorders, and ventilator needs.
Patients are to be cared for under a private duty nursing arrangement wherein pediatric-trained nurses provide one-on-one care for a child up to 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Of course, this type of home care may be integrated with the treatment plan of the child with the help of qualified RN supervisors and the child’s physician. Family members and relatives who wish to act as caretakers may be directly involved with the treatment as well.
Those who prefer short-term care may benefit from MedCare’s nursing visits. In this arrangement, a skilled nurse provides education and support to parents of children recently discharged from the hospital. Trach care, oxygenation monitors, apnea monitors, and G-Button/NGT/G-Tube and feeding pumps are some of the special needs MedCare’s nurses may assist with.
