At Sunshine PDN, we believe families shouldn’t have to choose between in-home nursing and therapy-based day programs. Children with complex medical needs deserve seamless, coordinated care that supports them in every setting—at home, at a care center, and across their healthcare journey.
That’s why we integrate Private Duty Nursing (PDN) and Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care Centers (PPECC) into a unified model of care. By combining clinical oversight, therapy services, and social support, our approach improves health outcomes, reduces hospitalizations, and relieves caregiver stress—without additional cost to Medicaid.
How It Works: Integrated PDN + PPECC Model
👍Dual Enrollment
Children receive both in-home nursing (PDN) and attend our day center (PPECC) for therapy, nursing, and peer interaction.
👍Shared Care Plan
We use a unified care plan (ISP) across home and center to keep treatment consistent and coordinated.
👍Real-Time Communication
Our team stays connected using a shared EMR, so updates, hospital visits, and changes are seen immediately.
👍Coordinated Team Meetings
Biweekly check-ins with nurses, therapists, and doctors ensure your child’s care stays on track.
👍Therapy Reinforcement
Therapies started at PPECC are supported at home by trained nurses for better progress.
👍Family Support
One point of contact, regular updates, and flexible care that helps families manage work and life.
