What Care Will My Child Receive?

Children attending PPECCs receive ongoing skilled nursing care from trained pediatric healthcare professionals. Services may include:

• Medication administration
• Respiratory and tracheostomy care
• Feeding tube management
• Monitoring of chronic medical conditions
• Developmental and social activities
• Coordination of care with physicians and specialists

Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment where children can safely receive medical care while enjoying opportunities to learn, play, and interact with their peers.

Therapy Services Available at PPECCs

One of the many benefits of attending PPECCs is access to therapy services within the center. Depending on your child's needs and physician orders, children may receive:

Occupational Therapy (OT)

Occupational therapists help children develop skills needed for everyday activities, including fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care tasks, and independence.

Physical Therapy (PT)

Physical therapists focus on improving strength, balance, mobility, coordination, and gross motor development to help children reach their fullest physical potential.

Speech Therapy (ST)

Speech-language pathologists support communication skills, language development, feeding abilities, and swallowing functions when appropriate.

By offering these therapies in the same setting where children receive nursing care, we help create a coordinated and convenient approach to treatment.

Supporting Development Through Education

VIVA is proud to have an Educational Developmental Services Coordinator on staff. This important role focuses on planning and implementing activities that support each child's developmental growth and learning. The coordinator works with our healthcare and therapy teams to create engaging experiences that promote cognitive, social, emotional, and developmental milestones.

These activities help children continue learning and growing while receiving the specialized medical care they need.

Partnering With Families

At VIVA, we believe families are an essential part of every child's success. We are committed to providing compassionate care, open communication, and comprehensive services that help children achieve their greatest potential.
