Home Healthcare

With Children’s Home Healthcare, nurses, physical or respiratory therapists and other pediatric providers can still see and treat your child. If your provider prescribes home care services, we’ll coordinate seamless care. We’ll provide the services your child needs from the comfort of home, including setting up medical equipment and managing and administering medication. Our team will also ensure you have the tools and training necessary to care for your child at home.

Your family plays an important part in your child’s home care. Our team will collaborate with you to ensure you understand your child’s condition and care. We’ll show you how to use the appropriate medical devices your child needs, how to administer any medications, which symptoms to watch out for and what to do if those symptoms arise. We’ll also show you how to use any medical devices your child needs. Our team is available to address any questions or concerns you may have throughout your child’s treatment and recovery.

We offer home healthcare services for a wide range of conditions and care needs. We’ll collaborate with your child’s providers and care team to arrange the appropriate treatments, services and resources. Some conditions that might require home healthcare include:

Your child’s care team may include a variety of providers tailored to individual and changing care needs. Our Home Healthcare providers include:

• Home Health Nurses
  Our pediatric nurses will visit your home to monitor your child’s condition and provide other tailored services. They’ll keep you informed about your child’s care while also providing services such as getting samples for lab work, managing medication delivery, (including central or IV lines), overseeing phototherapy or other treatments and addressing any other healthcare needs your child may have.

• Private Duty Nurses
  For complex care and ongoing care needs, your child’s care team may arrange for nurses to come to your home for a specific nursing shift. These typically range from 4 to 12 hours.

• Respiratory Therapists
  These specialists will guide you and ensure that any breathing-related medical equipment is working correctly.

We provide high-quality home healthcare services within a 60 mile radius of Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska. Product supply and delivery may also be available statewide or in nearby regions.

Step 1: Talk to Your Provider

Start by discussing your child’s needs with their healthcare provider. Ask if home health care is the right option for your child and request a referral. This step ensures your child gets the care they need at home.

Step 2: Schedule a Visit

Once you have a referral, our team will help you schedule a home visit.

Preparing for a Home Health Visit

• Day-of Confirmation: On the day of your visit, you’ll receive a call to confirm your nurse’s arrival time. During this call, you’ll also learn who will be coming and what type of care will be provided, so you know exactly what to expect.

• Helping Your Child Prepare: If appropriate, talk with your child ahead of time about the visit. Let them know a nurse will be coming and explain in simple terms what they can expect, helping them feel more comfortable and at ease.
