Benefits of In-Home Pediatric Care
Specialized Treatment
Your child’s medical condition and needs are unique and should receive customized care to address them. At-home treatment allows your child to get clinical attention to help them manage their health and live comfortably. We provide comprehensive assessments and screenings to determine the right services for them.
Consistent Care
You can count on your Ohioans team to be on time and prepared for every visit. Your child will work with a dedicated nurse who’s well-versed in their specific needs. The nurse will also provide education and resources to help you support your child’s rehabilitation between visits.
Improved Comfort and Recovery
Treatment in a facility may be daunting to your child. In-home care can reduce anxiety associated with receiving care so they can recover from illness, injury and surgery more efficiently. Being surrounded by family, pets, toys and familiar items can help relax your child while they receive treatment or therapy.
Free Time
Your time with your child is precious. Let us handle their medical needs so you can focus on what’s important – letting them be a kid. In-home appointments eliminate the need to coordinate transportation and adjust your schedule. We bring the care to you, so you don’t have to spend time getting in and out of a facility.
What to Expect from Ohioans In-Home Pediatric Services
Your child’s doctor must prescribe in-home pediatric services. You may also receive instructions for short-term care if your child is coming from a hospital or inpatient setting.
In-home pediatric services are based on physicians’ reports, so our team will review your child’s records and current condition to create a custom care plan. Our team will continue to monitor and report your child’s progress to their physician.
The frequency of our visits is based on your child’s needs, insurance coverage and the time needed to teach you how to administer care.
