J&D Ultracare is a professional home care nursing agency that has assisted the medically fragile population of the New York Metropolitan area and the Hudson Valley. The testimonials we receive show the lives we’ve touched in those communities, inspiring our nurses to work hard for their patients every day. This inspiration has driven us to help others for over 30 years with our in-home nursing services.
Parents often ask us if their special needs child needs in-home nursing. That’s why we decided to write an article on Rockland County NearSay that helps answer this question! In this post, we identified three key areas where in-home nurses can make a significant difference.

Routine Care Is Required
If your child can complete several tasks independently—such as eating or using the restroom—and only requires minimal assistance from you, an in-home nurse may not be necessary. However, if your child requires assistance with mobility challenges, personal care, therapy, and managing medical conditions, hiring a pediatric nurse can be a big help. Your nurse will have the training necessary to address specific mental and physical disabilities, giving you peace of mind that your little one’s needs are always met.

You’re Burdened by Burnout
Parents of special needs children will often feel an overwhelming sense of pressure to be the primary caregiver. However, it’s important to remember that taking time to care for yourself can help improve your parenting abilities. If you find yourself burned out by the demands of caring for a special needs child, hiring an in-home nurse can offer you relief.
As professionals that adapt to your specific needs, these nurses can provide assistance whenever it is ideal for you. For example, they can offer respite care every so often whenever you have other responsibilities to address or need to relax. Others may provide more regular support—such as overnight care or during the day while you are at work.
Your Child Is Best in a Familiar Environment
Some special needs kids—especially those that maintain a sense of independence—may prefer to attend a daily care facility where they can socialize with peers and engage in a variety of activities away from home. Other children, however, may be more comfortable being cared for in their familiar home environment where the resources they need are readily available.
