Hospital-to-Home Transition
For a medically complex child or adult, the transition from hospital to home can be a difficult one. Our mission is to make this process smoother and less overwhelming by assisting with everything from coordinating the discharge process with the hospital case manager, to settling in after the first time you take your baby home. No matter your situation, having the right help in place can make a world of difference to you and your family.

Our prescribed pediatric extended care services let your kids be kids. Our state-of-the-art facility was designed with children in mind, allowing them to play, dream, and grow — all while meeting their physiological, developmental, nutrition, and social needs. Our goal, through PPEC, is to impact the lives of our medically complex children from the early stages of life all the way into early adulthood.

What is PPEC?
Prescribed pediatric extended care, or PPEC for short, is provided at a non-residential center that serves medically complex or technologically dependent children under the age of 21 who require short, long-term, or intermittent medical care due to medically complex conditions.

The ACP PPEC provides services to medically complex children who cannot attend a regular daycare. Our services meet the child’s physiological, developmental, nutrition, and social needs. We provide nursing and psychosocial services, developmental therapies, caregiver training, and personal care support to our children.

Our Private-Duty Nurses are equipped with the skills to accompany your child to school if it is required by a physician. School nursing services can be added to your child’s plan of care and the nurse assigned can help your child with physical tasks, such as:

• Accompanying the child on the school-provided transportation
• Providing medical care during the school day such as:
• Medication administration
• Tracheostomy and ventilator care
• Additional care ordered by a physician
• Assisting a child with classroom activities
• Serve as the child’s care advocate

Advanced Care Partners entered the adult care market when our patients started to age out of the pediatric programs we serve. Every family that transitions from caring for a medically complex “child” to caring for an “adult” understands how challenging this time can be. As our children age, they often require more specialized and intensive care. We build strong bonds with our families that last a lifetime, just like the care we provide. From birth to adulthood, we are your partner for in-home adult care every step of the way.

Nursing Services
We offer nursing services (also known as private-duty nursing) for medically complex patients through the Medicaid COMP and NOW waiver, private insurance, and private pay. We provide care for:

• Neurological Disorders
• Cardiac Conditions
• Respiratory Disease
• Gastrointestinal Disease
• Metabolic Disorders
• Neuromuscular Disease
• Technology Dependent: Oxygen, Tracheostomy, Ventilator, Feeding
• Tubes, Monitors
• Other Complex Disorders and more

A Long-Term Care Ombudsman means "being an advocate for residents."  A Long-Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman listens to and addresses the concerns of nursing home and assisted living residents.  At all times, residents decide on the LTC Ombudsman's level of involvement.

Some of the ways in which LTC Ombudsman serve residents include telling residents about their rights and empowering and supporting residents and their families to discuss concerns with staff.   An LTC Ombudsman completes State-supported training and is certified by the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman.  

Services
An LTC Ombudsman: 

• Advocates for quality of life and quality care
• Explains Resident Rights
• Supports resident directed care
• Helps to ensure residents are treated with dignity
• Identifies and resolves concerns that affect residents

What is Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy (PT) is an intervention that focuses on helping individuals (in TLC’s case, children) with physical impairments that are impacting their mobility, balance, coordination, quality of movement, or age-appropriate gross motor skills.

Pediatric physical therapists examine and treat children from birth to age 18 for symptoms related to genetic, neurological, and orthopedic conditions. At TLC Kids Therapy, a typical session may include manual techniques to address the limitations of myofascial or soft tissue mobility, positional techniques to facilitate postural alignment, development of gross motor skills such as rolling, crawling, walking, jumping, riding a bike, climbing stairs, climbing stairs, and transitions between positions.

Other common interventions include flexibility training to maximize range of motion, general strength training through everyday play,  and gait training to improve running and walking patterns. Family education is essential to success in physical therapy and a recommended individualized home exercise program will be given to each family to ensure carry over of skilled physical therapy intervention.

Physical therapy commonly collaborates with occupation and speech therapy (if needed) to optimize your child’s success in the home and school environment.

What to look for:

• Abnormal Gait Pattern: Frequent falling and/or stumbling. 
• Hypertonia (High Muscle Tone): Uncontrollable muscle spasms, stiffening, straightening out of muscles. 
• Hypotonia (Low Muscle Tone): Looking “floppy”, being unable to keep up with peers. 
• Delayed Milestones: Is your child delayed in gross motor skills? Read more to find out. 
• Decreased Flexibility/Restrictions in Range-or-Motion: Sports injuries or surgery recuperation. 
• Ligament Laxity: “Double-jointedness”. 
• Asymmetrical Movement Patterns: Able to roll to one side, but not the other
• Poor Posture: Preference for “W-Sitting” or having trouble sitting up straight in chairs. 
• Frequent Loss of Balance 
• Core or Lower Extremity Weakness 
• Lack of Coordination 
• Pain

Our Care Model The MAC’s innovative approach provides comprehensive and coordinated medical and non-medical services under one roof. The MAC seeks to help individuals with disabilities and special needs of all ages find the assistance they need to improve their health and well-being.

MAC Navigation: The MAC’s services use a family-centered approach with full collaboration from the family, MAC Member, and community partners known as MACers (pronounced “MACK-ers”). Click here to learn more.

Ultra-Accessible™ means that everyone has the same opportunity to be included and participate intentionally in their community. An Ultra-Accessible™ community should provide environments for people of all abilities where they are set up for mobility, access, and success.

The MAC Navigators The MAC Care Model™ is centered around addressing Non-Medical Drivers of Health (NMDOH) through team members known as MAC Navigators that serve as single points of contact for the individuals with disabilities and special needs that The MAC serves. Click here for the Navigation Road Map.

Pre-screening on The MAC website or in person determines eligibility to become a MAC member.

(For purposes of The MAC at Morgan’s Wonderland™, people with a “special need” are defined as individuals of all ages with long-term impairment of cognitive, sensory, motor and/or communication functions, either congenital or acquired, that are not readily rehabilitated. Furthermore, a special need substantially limits an individual’s ability to perform activities in the range of what is considered typical for a person of the same age and cultural context. A special need may result in associated social, behavioral, or mental health complexities, requiring specialized intervention by a professional. Populations served by the MAC are the range of conditions that are classified as intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as acquired or congenital physical disabilities.)

The MAC serves individuals of all ages.

ADA Adult & Babies Changing Tables available.

There are no income requirements to receive Navigation services.
