PPEC Nursing Care
The nursing staff at Children’s Rehab are aware of the difficulties involved in caring for a child with a serious medical condition. That’s why we have been providing medical daycare & PPEC nursing services since 1991. PPEC stands for Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care, and it is a type of medical daycare that specializes in caring for children with complex medical needs. To operate in Florida, a PPEC facility must fulfill certain criteria, ensuring the greatest level of care is offered. Our Registered Nurses exceed the staffing requirements, which means your child will always receive exceptional care. Complete the form at the bottom to get in touch with us and learn more about how you can enroll your child in our PPEC nursing services. We will schedule a meeting with you and your child to tour our care facility and help you determine if you qualify for PPEC nursing services at Children’s Rehab.

Benefits of Our PPEC Nursing Care
A child who is eligible for PPEC nursing services can participate for up to 12 hours per day, receive free transportation to and from the facility, and get specialized case management and care. All of the aforementioned PPEC nursing services replace all in-home nursing care, allowing for more socialization with other children. We assist those who are eligible for PPEC nursing services, including those who require nurses to administer medication (such as insulin or injections), tracheostomy and gastrointestinal tube cleaning and feeding, as well as preterm infants who run the risk of experiencing developmental issues. At Children’s Rehab PPEC, we have a baby room with cribs, where babies are watched and monitored at all times. We provide care for children who have hematologic diseases, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, post-transplant, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and metabolic issues. We recognize the value of ongoing treatment for our PPEC patients. That is why we are open on Saturdays, after school until 6 p.m., and provide services up to 12 hours a day.

Frequently Asked Questions
PPEC services are always covered by Medicaid, but private insurance may also cover them.
PPEC nursing care includes specialized treatment for medically complicated disorders. We provide skilled nursing services such as drug administration, vital sign monitoring, physical assessments, and more types of skilled nursing care.
A higher standard of nursing care and specialized services are provided by PPEC nursing services that might not be present in home nursing care. PPEC facilities also offer children a social and educational setting that home nursing care cannot.
Children with both medical and developmental requirements can benefit greatly from PPEC nursing services, which provide specialized care and early intervention programs to address all elements of a child’s health.
It is recommended to check with your local Medicaid office, or check online, because qualification depends on various factors. Medicaid is generally intended to help low-income households. Please feel free to contact us for assistance as we have helped many families switch over insurances.
