Private Duty Nursing

Pediatric Nursing You Can Trust

Star Kids focuses on pediatric private duty nursing. The home health care services we offer are built on expertise, trust, and experience. We understand that many times parents are taught how to care for and manage their chronically ill child at home. However, doing this everyday can come at a high price to the family, and at times, exhaustion and fatigue may take over. Managing the entire family can become difficult and overwhelming. We understand this firsthand and strongly believe in what we can provide for your patient, child, and family. These are a few services we offer to our pediatric patients:

How to Qualify

Little Baby's Hand

Our goal is to keep the child at home with their families and loved ones through their illness process. We expect to assist in the treatment and care through the child’s primary care provider and their trusted specialists. We maintain and follow daily orders provided through the home health care plan that is signed by your child’s provider. To qualify for this service, the patient/child will need to have specific needs such as those listed above. If your child or patient has these needs, please call us to go over a more comprehensive list of qualifiers that may allow us to work with your loved one and provide the care that they need.
