Introduction

Here at Almost Home Kids, we offer three care programs: transitional, respite and respite transportation care, for children who are technology assisted or have complex medical needs.

Transition Care referrals are accepted from Hospital Discharge Planners, Social Workers, Nurses, and Physicians. Parents who feel their child would benefit from Transitional Care can contact their child’s community or hospital care coordinator or social worker.

In addition to the care programs, Almost Home Kids provides:

• Support to the family by actively seeking financial assistance
• Training programs for families and health care providers
• Community support, training and exceptional medical care as your child grows. Once a child receives care at Almost Home Kids, they are part of the Almost Home Kids Family.
