Choosing Children's National for Skilled Nursing
We believe in turning disabilities into special abilities, and our warm and welcoming atmosphere combines specialized therapeutic, medical and nursing care with a diverse array of activities designed to maintain each child’s abilities and encourage their maximum potential. We provide care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We are a leader in providing highly effective care for children with complex medical conditions and disabilities. Family is central to everything we do, and our approach involves helping families understand and live with the challenges ahead. For some of our patients, this may mean adapting to a lifelong illness, diagnosis or challenge, while for others it means learning how to complete simple tasks in order to increase independence.
Each child is involved in the everyday activities of playing, learning and growing while receiving expert medical care that only a facility specializing in the care of medically fragile and complex children can provide. We offer a team approach that includes pediatricians, nurse practitioners, nurses, respiratory therapists, physical, occupational & speech therapists, psychologists, social workers and other healthcare specialists to meet your child's individual care needs.
