About the Client

4 y/o Male from Seneca, PA in need of care

Client Story

"Our patient is a resilient 4-year-old boy who brings joy to his family each day and requires care during the night. He usually sleeps between 10:30 PM and 11:30 PM and sleeps well throughout the night. He may occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and observe his surroundings before falling back asleep. It is important that the nurse we select is comfortable and experienced in handling a child with a g-tube, as our patient is fed through this tube. Additionally, our patient requires oxygen at night and may need assistance with any respiratory issues. Although he has had seizures in the past, with the help of medication, he has not experienced any recently. However, we still want to ensure that our patient is in good hands and that his oxygen levels and overall well-being are closely monitored."
