Partnering for a Cause: Join First Day Homecare Franchise to Support Medically Fragile Children

Around 2% of children in the United States are considered medically fragile. These vulnerable children often require intensive, long-term medical care and specialized treatments with complex medical equipment such as feeding tubes and ventilators. As soon as they can be discharged from the hospital, it is most beneficial for them to be at home with their families. Unfortunately, this can be difficult because:

• A lack of in-home nursing: More than 28% of U.S. families report having no in-home nursing available when their child was discharged from the hospital.
• Inadequate home nursing hours: More than 47.5% of families report receiving fewer than half of the approved home health nursing hours.
• Extended hospital stays: More than 37% of families report having to extend their medically vulnerable child’s hospital stay due to the lack of available in-home nursing.

Because of the poor access to in-home nursing care for medically fragile children, parents have no option but to make employment changes so that they can be at home to care for their loved ones. This often creates major financial burdens for families who are already struggling.
