For Families
Specialized Care for Kids, Right at Home
With a team of board-certified pediatric professionals providing 24/7 remote care, our Center for Advanced Care at Home offers comprehensive support to ensure a smooth transition from the hospital to home, while maintaining the highest level of care for your child.
Your child will remain in the program until they reach specific health goals. Once these goals are met, your child will transition to the supervision of their primary and specialty care team, ensuring a seamless continuation of care and support.
Benefits of Advanced Care at Home
- Comfort and familiarity: Children rest, grow, and heal better in familiar surroundings with family and friends.
- Peace of mind: Rest assured that your child is receiving the highest level of care from a team of pediatric experts supporting you every step of the way.
- Seamless transitions: Virtual care allows for frequent, flexible access to your care team, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of care from the hospital to home.
- Less risk of infection: Receiving care at home lowers the risk of hospital-acquired infection.
- Specialized pediatric care: Every kid is unique — and every care plan should be, too. Our pediatric professionals provide personalized care that addresses the unique needs of children with complex medical conditions.

Your child’s care team includes:
- Nurses: Your child will receive virtual visits from our nursing team to monitor their health and provide guidance and support. The frequency of nursing visits is determined by your child’s medical condition.
- Pediatric specialists: Our health care providers will conduct virtual visits to assess your child’s progress and address any medical concerns.
- Advanced care technicians: We’re available day and night to connect you with the help you need, whether it’s from a nurse, a specialist, or tech support.
Our in-home health care services include:
- Remote patient monitoring: We monitor vital signs, ensuring that any changes in health are promptly addressed.
- On-demand support: Use the ÎÚÑ»ÊÓƵ Children’s MyChart app to connect directly with your child’s care team, access on-demand and scheduled virtual visits, and get your child’s medical information.
- Medical equipment: We provide medical equipment and services tailored to your child’s needs.
