Why Choose Us?
Home Care from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center offers families a cost-effective option to continue medical care at home after their child leaves the hospital -- with specialists who know children best.
Easy, convenient access
Access to comprehensive, expert care at home can often enable a medically stable child to leave the hospital early. The home care provided truly supports family-centered care and continuity of pediatric care for the child and the family. Such care can also lower the risk of complications and readmission.
Home Care services from Cincinnati Children's are available to families in Kentucky and Ohio 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (Services provided vary based upon specific state regulations.)
Customized care
Our registered nurses perform assessments and work closely with your child's physician to create a customized home care plan.
Our team of nurses, therapists, social workers, pharmacists and other health-care providers are all careful observers of your child's progress in your home and through conversation with you -- in effect, the doctor's "eyes and ears". Our team members consult regularly among themselves and with your child's physician to ensure the best outcome.
