Hospitals can be scary places for children, but nothing soothes them like their own bed and home. Give them the care and support they need in the place they love best.
When experienced, loving professionals care for your child at home, you get a much-needed break so you can keep up with daily schedules, work obligations, and more.
Maximize your time with your kids by keeping them all under one roof. Siblings will appreciate the attention you're free to give them and the chance to bond with their infirm brother or sister.
Having a child with a chronic health condition is a huge responsibility — and it leaves many parents stressed, exhausted and isolated.
If your child is 18 or younger and has a diagnosed prolonged illness, a professional pediatric in-home caregiver can provide much-needed support, helping your child — and you — feel happier and healthier while improving their quality of life.
At Attending, we are more than caregivers. We're advocates, resources and partners in your child's care, dedicated to ensuring that your child has what they need to reach their full potential and thrive in the comfort of home.
A pediatric home health aide offers a range of benefits for you and your child:
Personalized care: Our carers give your child one-on-one attention tailored to their needs. This individualized approach allows for a deeper understanding of your child's unique medical requirements, preferences and routines.
Comfort and familiarity: Home is where a child often feels most comfortable and secure. By receiving care at home, your child remains in a familiar environment surrounded by their belongings, family members and pets — helping reduce anxiety and stress associated with medical treatments and procedures.
Convenience: In-home care eliminates the need for frequent trips to medical facilities, saving time and reducing transportation challenges for families. It also minimizes disruptions to daily routines, allowing your child to maintain a sense of normalcy in their activities and schedule.
Continuity of care: A pediatric home health aide works closely with a child's primary care physician, specialists and therapists to ensure seamless coordination of care. This promotes continuity in treatment plans and facilitates communication among health care providers — leading to better health outcomes for your child.
Support for families: In-home pediatric care gives valuable support and education to family members through guidance on medication administration, symptom management and more.
Monitoring and observation: Home health aides can closely monitor your child's condition, including vital signs, medication adherence and changes in symptoms. Early detection of any issues allows for timely intervention.
Promotion of independence: In-home support can encourage independence and self-care skills — such as feeding, personal hygiene and therapeutic exercises.
Emotional and social support: In addition to physical care, our aides provide emotional support and companionship based on trust and respect.
From newborns to teens and all ages in between — whether your child needs care for weeks or years — our dedicated certified home health aides (HHAs) and registered nurses can give them the support and love they need to thrive. Our home health aids can do the following:
Certified by the New York State Department of Health or Department of Education, your aide studied and practiced the skills necessary to keep clients healthy, happy and safe.
You aren't bringing just anyone into your home. All aides are carefully interviewed and undergo thorough background checks to ensure they're upstanding citizens and compassionate, experienced caregivers.
Your child will be most comfortable with an aide who understands their language, culture, and lifestyle. We consider each client’s needs and each aide’s strengths, resulting in smooth transitions and effective pairings.
If the first aide we send doesn't work for your child, we'll assign you someone new until you find the right fit. Call us with questions or concerns anytime and reach a live, helpful human — day or night.
Our team is ready to answer your questions and guide you through this process. Call us today at (718) 421-1100 to schedule a free consultation and initial assessment.
