Aveanna PDHC Melbourne

Aveanna’s Day Health Care Centers are staffed with pediatric nurses and health care professionals that have a passion for caring for medically fragile children. Our nurses follow an individualized plan of treatment developed in coordination with each child’s physician and family to provide the best skilled care and reach the best possible outcomes. Our Day Health Care Centers provide developmental therapies, including occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology. Our pediatric therapists are highly skilled in caring for medically complex children, and they work closely with the nursing staff to provide safe, effective therapeutic interventions.

Many different conditions and diagnoses may qualify children for services at our Day Health Care Centers. Children must have complex medical needs and require skilled nursing interventions during the day. Any child can be referred for evaluation by contacting one of our locations directly. Pediatric Day Health Care Centers or PDHCs are also known as Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPECs).
