Medical Day Care FAQ

My child has developmental delays — do they qualify for Medical Day Care?

Not necessarily. To qualify for Medical Day Care, a child must have skilled nursing needs. Examples include a feeding tube, medications, and diagnoses requiring constant monitoring, such as severe asthma or seizure disorder.

Is there an option for school at Medical Day Care?

Yes! Our social worker will work with your family and school district to support their needs. But if that doesn’t work out, we will provide 1:1 tutoring with a teacher from The Bancroft School, our other partnership program, while they are at Medical Day Care.

Will there be enough staff to ensure my child is safe and cared for?

Yes, at Medical Day Care, we pride ourselves on maintaining a staff-patient ratio of 1:3. This includes RNs, LPNs, Nursing Assistants, and Child Life specialists who are with the children throughout the day.

Can my child get a physical therapy evaluation at Medical Day Care?

Yes! We have therapists on-site to evaluate patients for occupational, physical, and speech therapy services.

My child doesn’t take medication well — how will I know the staff can get them to take their medications?

Our Child Life Team will utilize their expertise to develop a plan that works for your child and provides positive reinforcement. Additionally, our speech therapy and feeding services can help them improve their swallowing fears and issues.

How will I know what progress my child is making at daycare?

We take progress seriously at Medical Day Care. That’s why we hold an Interdisciplinary Team Meeting every 60 days to review your child’s progress and plan of care. This meeting includes our Director of Nursing, Social Worker, Nutritionist, Child Life Specialist, and summaries from our therapists.

How can my child get to your facility?

Our care coordination team can provide transportation on medical vans with age-appropriate car seats, booster seats, and wheelchair access.

Can my child attend half days?

Children are required to attend full days of at least six consecutive hours at Medical Day Care to ensure proper developmental strides are being made. We encourage families to schedule appointments early in the morning or later in the afternoon if you’re considering a half-day of care.

Do I need to send lunch or diapers with my child?

All daily meals, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks, are thoughtfully designed by a qualified nutritionist to ensure your child receives balanced nutrition. Additionally, we furnish essential supplies like diapers and wipes for your child’s convenience.
