Thanks to advances in medical technology and patient care, over the past few decades, the United States has seen an increase in survival rates for babies born with complex medical conditions. These medically vulnerable children require ongoing intensive medical care and are often dependent on technology such as feeding tubes and ventilators. They also need home healthcare from skilled nurses, sometimes around the clock.
Unfortunately, there are often not enough nursing professionals to meet the demand for such specialized care. This can mean that vulnerable children must spend more time in the hospital, away from their family and home environment, than they need to. Furthermore, when they return home, their parents are often tasked with the heavy burden of managing their children’s care unaided.
First Day Homecare exists to alleviate this burden by providing in-home private duty nurses to assist parents in caring for their medically vulnerable children.
