ABOUT US

The name PATCHES stands for Pediatric Alternative Treatment, Care, Housing & Evaluation Services.
PATCHES is a not for profit 501(c)(3) Nursing Center for medically fragile children.  For more information please visit us at www.patchesppec.org

Our experience of serving children with medical needs have equipped us with the unique understanding that children are not just small adults. Children in non acute care settings have a number of distinctive care needs, such as growth and developmental issues, often complicated by their medical fragility. Additionally, acute attention and monitoring is essential to sustaining the often narrow margin of safety when considering patient size and weight relative to pulmonary management, medication, and other medical needs.

We realize that the self-esteem, self-confidence, and small triumphs of a child are often brought about by plenty of encouragement, hugs, and smiles. We also provide onsite playground, and daily enrichment programs. Our goal is to help each child reach his or her potential safely, in a fun-filled caring environment.

PATCHES offers parents the peace of mind brought about by a program staffed by health care professionals who are expertly trained in the care of children with both sub-acute and chronic conditions. Our center is fully equipped and staffed to accommodate children who require the support of ventilators, tracheotomies, oxygen therapy, and feeding tubes, or who have other special medical needs. Supportive therapies, respiratory care, educational programming, and door-to-door transportation are also available.

Fully licensed by the State of Florida, our well-rounded, expertly managed program benefits both children and families with the highest standards of pediatric specialized care.
