Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) is a treatment program that pediatric daycares generally provide to young children with complex medical needs. This program is Medicaid-funded and provides daycare services to children who require nursing, feeding, or medical assistance during the day provided your child is under 21.
PPEC services at a pediatric extended care center generally include nursing care and physical therapy. However, centers such as Children’s Rehab may also offer additional services, such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, transportation, recreational activities, and more!
At Children’s Rehab, we are able to care for medically fragile children and kids that may have had a developmental delay. The staff at our pediatric rehabilitation center also have training in providing childcare for special needs.
