Comprehensive Nursing Care – Keeping Kids at Home
The PHS nurses (trained RNs, LPNs and LVNs) – also called Private Duty Nursing (PDN) or Home Care Nursing (HCN) – provide one-on-one shift-based nursing services for children with technology-dependent health conditions in the comfort and convenience of their homes and communities. We make sure that each nurse is trained in the complexities of pediatric home care, as well as each child’s individualized health needs.
