A Change of Scenery that Rejuvenates Children and their Families
At Seven Hills Pediatric Center, we recognize that families with children who have complex medical needs sometimes require short-term respite care. Whether for a family vacation, unexpected hospitalizations, or simply needing a break, we offer the support you need. Our trained staff is skilled in the latest technologies, providing specialized care, including tracheostomy management, gastrointestinal feeding, and support for ventilator-dependent children. This allows families to recharge and return to providing quality care for their child.
Children at Seven Hills Pediatric Center enjoy new adventures in a supportive environment, with access to sensory and music therapy among other learning opportunities. Meanwhile, families can rejuvenate and focus on their own needs, knowing their child is receiving exceptional care at our award-winning, five-star nursing facility. Short-term admission eligibility decisions are approved through the Medical Review Team (MRT) of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Families are eligible for up to 90 days of respite care per year, based on their preference and the availability of the facility.
