Pediatric Skilled Nursing is the core of what we are passionate about at Hi-Pointe Care Solutions. This is because we understand the challenges of caring for a medically complex child who requires numerous medical services and products. We’ve been there and we know it’s hard. For this reason, our experienced clinical management team along with our bedside RNs and LPNs, work closely with parents and physicians to ensure that a thorough, expertly coordinated plan of care is developed and implemented. This somehow helps to minimize the impact of the patient’s unique medical condition on their loved ones. We provide full parent education on all clinical services and we are able to provide care in private homes, schools, and medical foster homes.
