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.
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
We offer pediatric home care services — including pediatric nursing and personal care support services — for children covered by Medicaid programs, the Katie Becket Waiver, private insurances, or private pay. We specialize in caring for patients with:
- Tracheostomies
- IV Therapies
- Tube Feedings
- Wound Care
- Colostomy Care
- Neurological Disorders
- Endocrine Diseases/ Disorders
- IDD Individuals
- Quadriplegic/ Paraplegic
- Cardiac Defects
- & Other Complex Needs
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

A MAC Pre-Screening form collects data on The MAC website or in-person to determine 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 to be 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. We work with individuals of all ages. There are no income requirements to receive Navigation services. Our MAC Members are members as long as they continue receiving services at The MAC.
Each of our MACer Partners have a list of insurances they accept. The Navigators will know what each MAC Partners works with so they can get our MAC Members connected with the correct partner.
The Wheel Chair Ministry was established at St Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church in 2008. We conduct one fund raiser annually, usually in June. We are part of The American Wheel Chair Mission. This is a non-profit organization dedicated to making IMMOBILE people MOBILE. We deliver this MOBILITY into the lives of people with physical disabilities who have no means to acquire a wheel chair. The delivery of a wheel chair to a person without MOBILITY improves the quality of life for the whole family. A donation of $150 will pay for one wheel chair and it is estimated that each wheel chair improves an average of ten lives. We have delivered wheel chairs to the needy in Nuevo Laredo, Guadalajara, Mexico City, VA Hospitals, Selma Alabama and Clergy Retirement Centers as well as several local needy people.
For more information call (210) 496-6310.
If you wish to help provide wheelchairs to those in need with a monetary donation, you may simply place a check (payable to American Wheelchair Mission) in the collection basket the next time you come to Mass at St. Mark's.
