Bringing the Hospital Level of Care Into the Comfort of Your Home
Caring for a child with a tracheostomy tube or mechanical ventilator requires absolute precision, constant vigilance, and quick decision-making. You shouldn’t have to carry that weight alone. At Custom Living Care, we match your family with pediatric nurses who are specifically certified and heavily vetted in advanced respiratory management. We don’t just fill shifts; we integrate into your routine to give your child a normal, joyful childhood.
Transitioning your medically fragile child from the hospital to home can feel overwhelming. Our highly trained pediatric RNs and LPNs provide expert, continuous in-home respiratory care across Atlanta—giving you peace of mind and your child a safe environment to thrive.
Specialized Clinical Capabilities
- Ventilator Management & Monitoring – Continuous monitoring of vent settings, circuit integrity, alarms, and oxygen saturation levels tailored to your pulmonologist’s exact orders.
- Tracheostomy Maintenance & Cleaning – Daily stoma care, inner cannula changes, secure tie adjustments, and sterile/clean suctioning techniques to prevent infection and maintain patent airways.
- Emergency Preparedness – Every nurse assigned is strictly trained in emergency protocols, including accidental decannulation, mucus plug clearance, manual bagging (Ambu bag), and power outage backups.
- Integrated Therapy Support – Coordinating closely with your child’s Speech, Physical, and Occupational therapists to support developmental milestones, communication devices (Passy-Muir valves), and oral feeding transitions.
The Hospital-to-Home Transition Process
- Step 1: Joint Discharge Planning – We meet with your hospital case manager, pulmonologist, and respiratory therapist before discharge to align on the care plan.
- Step 2: Nurse Matching & Shadowing – Whenever possible, our selected nurses review your child’s specific routine and machine models before day one.
- Step 3: Safe, 24/7 Home Settling – We initiate coverage the moment you arrive home, ensuring seamless continuity of respiratory support, supplies setup, and medication management.
Is Continuous Trach and Vent Care Covered?
Yes. Because tracheostomy and ventilator dependencies place children in the “medically fragile” category, these intensive, round-the-clock nursing hours are typically eligible for 100% coverage under the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) via Medicaid, regardless of your family’s income.
Our dedicated team handles the entire GAPP application, clinical documentation, and approval process for you, ensuring your child gets the hours they need without adding financial stress to your plate.
