As a new patient family, you can expect that appropriate staffing to meet the unique needs of your child will be in place from the very first day. A core team of Tendercare nurses and administrative professionals will consult with you and your child’s doctor to develop a customized, in-home care plan. Each patient family is assigned an admissions nurse, a case manager and a scheduling coordinator who will work collaboratively with you to address your child’s needs. During the first few weeks, a select group of experienced nurses will be oriented to your child’s healthcare requirements and your home environment.
