An Overview
What Pediatric Home Care Looks Like
Pediatric home care brings specialized, compassionate support into the home for children managing complex medical needs, developmental disabilities, or chronic conditions — in familiar surroundings, close to siblings and family life.
It centers not just the child but the whole family. Every child’s needs are different, so care plans are shaped around each family’s situation rather than a standardized template.
“Supporting the family well is inseparable from supporting the child well.”
What’s Included

Every care plan is built around the child. These are the areas City Choice pediatric care covers.
- Personalized in-home care plans tailored to each child’s condition

- Help with daily routines, mobility, and personal care
- Family education on managing care at home
- Coordination with the child’s medical and therapy team
- A free in-home nurse assessment
- Help navigating funding and program options
Who It’s For
Who Pediatric Care Is For
A fit for families whose children are managing complex or chronic medical conditions, developmental disabilities, or the after-effects of a serious illness or injury that requires ongoing support at home.
Some families need a few hours a week, others more extensive care. Bringing in support isn’t a sign of not managing well — it’s a practical way to make sure the whole family has the capacity to keep going.
Conditions & Situations
Situations We Support
Pediatric home care commonly supports children with cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, and more complex needs including tracheostomy or ventilator-dependent care, depending on the clinical support required and the caregiver’s qualifications.
Many families are navigating medical providers, therapy teams, school services, and New York State’s OPWDD system at once. We’re not a substitute for those systems, but we can help you understand how in-home care fits alongside them.
Situations we commonly support
- Cerebral palsy
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Developmental disabilities
- Tracheostomy or ventilator-dependent care
- Complex or chronic medical needs
- A recent diagnosis
- Recovery from serious illness or injury
How It Works
Getting Started Is Simple
-
Start with a conversation
We talk through your child’s specific needs — even if a diagnosis is recent or an evaluation is still under way.
-
Free in-home nurse assessment
Our team meets your child and sees their condition, daily routine, and family situation firsthand, rather than assuming from an intake form.
-
A plan and a matched caregiver
We build a personalized care plan, match a caregiver to your child’s needs, and help you understand available funding paths.
-
Care adjusts as your child grows
As your child grows and their needs change, we revisit and adjust the plan together with your family.
Why City Choice
Why Families Choose City Choice for Pediatric Care
Comfort and familiarity at home
Care in a child’s own space, surrounded by their own things and family, reduces anxiety in ways a clinical setting can’t.
A plan built on a real assessment
Two children with the same diagnosis can have very different needs — so every plan starts with an in-home assessment, not a generic package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Families Ask Us First
Is pediatric home care only for children with severe medical needs?
No — it can support a wide range of needs, from more intensive medical care to general daily support for children with developmental or chronic conditions. A free in-home assessment helps determine what fits your child.
Is pediatric care covered by Medicaid?
In many cases yes, particularly for eligible children with qualifying conditions. Coverage depends on your child’s specific situation, and we can help you understand what applies.
Do your caregivers have specialized pediatric training?
Caregivers are matched to each child’s specific needs, with more clinically complex cases supported by appropriately trained and licensed staff.
How does the free in-home assessment work?
A member of our team visits your home to meet your child, understand their needs and routine, and determine an appropriate care plan — at no cost and with no obligation.
Can pediatric care support my other children or the whole family?
Our approach centers the whole family, recognizing that siblings and parents are also affected by a child’s care needs. We’re happy to discuss this during your consultation.
