Published On

Caring for a child with medical needs is an incredible responsibility—and no parent should have to face it alone. At BrightStar Care of Moraga, we understand the unique challenges that come with pediatric care, and we're here to help families provide the best possible support to their children in the comfort of home.

Whether your child has complex medical needs, developmental challenges, or is recovering from surgery or illness, our pediatric home care services offer families relief, reassurance, and highly skilled support.


What Is Pediatric Home Care?

Pediatric home care refers to professional healthcare services delivered in the child’s home by trained caregivers, nurses, or therapists. These services can range from basic assistance and companionship to advanced skilled nursing for medically fragile children.

Our care is tailored to each family’s unique situation and can include:

  • Skilled nursing care (tracheostomy care, feeding tubes, medication administration)

  • Chronic condition management (diabetes, seizure disorders, genetic conditions)

  • Developmental support and personal care

  • Respite care for family caregivers

  • Post-hospitalization recovery support


Why Choose Home Care for Your Child?

Receiving care at home allows your child to be in a familiar, comfortable environment—surrounded by family and free from the stress of frequent medical appointments or hospital stays. It also gives parents greater flexibility and peace of mind, knowing that their child is safe and receiving attentive, professional care.

Families often choose pediatric home care to:

  • Reduce hospital readmissions

  • Support daily routines and independence

  • Help manage complex medical equipment

  • Provide one-on-one attention


The BrightStar Care Difference

At BrightStar Care of Moraga, our caregivers and nurses are not only clinically qualified—they’re compassionate, patient, and committed to treating every child with dignity and respect. All pediatric services are overseen by our Director of Nursing, Christy Wolf, RN, who ensures each child receives the highest quality of care and attention.

We work closely with families, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers to build a customized care plan that meets your child’s medical and emotional needs.
