What Is Private Duty Nursing?
Private Duty Nursing (PDN) provides gentle, one-on-one skilled nursing care for children with complex medical needs—right in the comfort and safety of your home. Our nurses become a steady source of support for both your child and your family, helping you navigate daily care with confidence, compassion, and hope. PDN helps children stay where they feel happiest and most secure, while receiving the specialized medical care they need.
How Private Duty Nursing Helps Your Child From Skilled Nurses
Your child will receive personalized, hands-on nursing care from trained professionals who understand complex medical needs such as ventilators, tracheostomies, and feeding tubes.
- Support With Medications & Treatments
Nurses safely give medications, injections, IV therapies, and other treatments exactly as ordered by your child’s healthcare team. - Around-the-Clock Monitoring & Safety
Your child’s nurse keeps a close eye on vital signs and responds quickly to any changes, including breathing issues, seizures, or other emergencies—helping you breathe easier knowing someone is always watching over them. - Help With Daily Routines
Beyond medical care, nurses help with everyday activities, comfort your child during tough moments, and encourage developmental growth through simple, engaging interactions. - A Care Plan Made Just for Your Child
Doctors, therapists, nurses, and parents work together to create a care plan that fits your child’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. - Care at Home—Where Children Thrive
Home is often the best healing environment. PDN allows children to stay close to family, familiar surroundings, and the routines that bring them comfort and stability.
Support for the Whole Family
Private duty nursing isn’t just about medical care—it’s about partnership. Families often share that having a nurse in their home brings relief, confidence, and more time to simply be “mom,” “dad,” or “family,” rather than full-time caregivers.
Nurses also take time to explain things, answer questions, and help parents learn new skills at a pace that feels comfortable.
Insurance Coverage
Most families receive PDN through:
- Medicaid
- Managed care organizations (MCOs)
- Private insurance plans
Our team helps guide families through the process to make sure your child receives the care they deserve.
