Pediatric Medical Day Care
Excellence in Pediatric Medical Day Care Services
Providing the bright care your child and your family deserves
PPEC Solution
The PPEC, a prescribed Pediatric Extended Care is offered through our Centers to meet the needs of families with medically fragile and /or techology dependent children who require skilled nursing services.
The consistency that the PPECC offers allows parents to work, go to school and take care of other family responsibilities while their medically fragile child is cared for by professional nurses and patient support aides (PSA), in a fun, child friendly atmosphere on a regular basis.
Quality Solution
The PPECC can be viewed as a “Medical Daycare” but in no way a “sick” daycare as the children who exhibit symptoms of any form of infection are asked to stay home from the PPECC.
The PPECC can be used in place of in home nursing or combined with in home coverage.
100% Coverage
The PPECC offers 100% coverage in a way that does not disrupt family life.
Many times the dynamic of a person coming into the home for an 8 to 12 hour period does not work for all families. Also, if a shift is left uncovered it causes many problems for the family.

Technology Infrastructure & Oversight
PedMedFed uses sophisticated technology tools to manage all of the documents, our staff, our assets and all of the activities and processes. We have live video monitoring, ensuring that all of the procedures and policies are followed. We have powerful no code field management solutions to guarantee that every procedure and every task is completed, that every route is inspected and that every service is delivered exactly and precisely based on rigorous manuals, procedure books and oversight.
Inspections & Procedure Manuals
PedMedFed goes above and beyond the state requirements to deliver a safe and a healthy environment for our children. Our own procedures and manuals are significantly more rigorous than even the state requirements that we are obligated to follow, and are designed to create the safest and the best possible environment for our children and our staff. Our Chief compliance officer has created programs on the state level in NJ, one of the most rigorous programs in the country and we understand what it takes to deliver an environment of safety and service excellence. We also conduct significantly more inspections internally than the state requires, basically inspecting the entire facility almost monthly, to make sure everything is done by the book, and delivered and executed in an excellent manner.
Staff & Nurses
PedMedFed provides high quality work training for our nurses and to our administrative staff, and we hire right, focusing on top achievers who strive for excellence, individuals with perfect records on the licenses, and those who are already fully licensed to deliver the work required, for what we consider to be the most important task, raising and taking care of your child.
Minority Women Focus
We are minority woman owned and led, and we understand what it takes to deliver results.
We understand that everything is usually more difficult for minority women
Our programs are designed to provide more jobs in minority and low income communities, and to provide our services to families that are most at need
We have a special unit focusing on the needs of minority single moms and dads from low income communities, as we understand that they struggle more than anyone else
We work closely with foster care, child services and other similar government programs, to make sure that the children without any family, or those at highest risk in low income communities are not left behind
Insurance Coverage & Transportation
Insurance
The PPECC, together with the family’s input, will receive insurance authorization. As long as the authorization is maintained, there should be no cost to the family.
Activity Program
Our PPECC designs an activity program to meet the need of each child. Activity plans are formulated based on holidays, seasons, birthdays, and current events.
Transportation
Parents are responsible for their child’s transportation to and from the PPECC. In cases where this is not possible, your child may qualify for Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP), our staff will assist you in the process of setting up your child’s transportation.
