Services
APC offers a variety of services for children with life-sustaining
medical conditions who require technical medical equipment
and/or treatments in order to thrive at home. The APC team
includes professionals experienced in pediatric nursing, communication
disorders, assistive/adaptive equipment, case management,
independent living, vocational services, transition counseling
and when needed grief counseling.
Our Pediatric Nurses specialize in caring for children
and we never forget that we are a guest in each family's home.
Sometimes this special care must follow the child to school
- so we go back to the classroom! We have even been seen at
special summer camps with our kids. Our nurses provide a full
range of pediatric services which include but are not limited
to:
- Tracheostomy care
- Respiratory Treatments
- Seizure Monitoring and Assessment
- Ventilator Care
- Wound Care
- Gastrostomy Tube Care/Feedings
- IV Therapy
- Client/Family Education and Training
Skilled Nursing care is often paid for by private insurance,
private or self-pay, Medicaid Comprehensive Care Program (CCP),
Medically Dependent Children's Program (MDCP) and other third
party payors.
Our Rehabilitation Team provides information about
options and choices for the future.
Medical Social Worker: The agency is committed
to the health and care of the clients and staff and employs
a full-time Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who specializes
in the needs of infants, children, teens and their families
