Compassionate Pediatric Home Care in NYC: Post-Surgery, NICU, G-Tube & Trach Support at Home

When your child is recovering from surgery, transitioning home after a NICU stay, or living with complex medical needs like a tracheostomy or feeding tube, compassionate and skilled support at home makes all the difference. At BrightStar Care South Brooklyn & Upper East Side, we specialize in pediatric home care designed to ease hospital-to-home transitions and help your child heal and thrive in a nurturing, familiar environment.

Supporting NYC Families with Pediatric Home Care

We proudly serve families across Brooklyn, Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and beyond, including neighborhoods near leading children’s hospitals like:

  • Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone

  • Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital

  • NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital

  • Cohen Children’s Medical Center

These world-class facilities provide life-saving treatments—and once your child is stable enough to be discharged, BrightStar Care is here to continue the journey with safe, compassionate care at home.


Pediatric Post-Surgical Care at Home

After procedures like cleft palate repair, orthopedic surgery, or cardiac interventions, children often require ongoing monitoring, medication administration, and emotional support. Our RN-led pediatric team ensures:

  • Proper wound and incision care

  • Medication and pain management

  • Nutrition and hydration monitoring

  • Emotional reassurance for children and parents

We work closely with your child’s medical team to ensure a seamless recovery plan, reducing the risk of complications and hospital readmissions.

NICU Graduates Deserve Gentle, Skilled Care at Home

Babies who graduate from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) often continue to need specialized care. We provide transitional support for:

  • Premature infants

  • Babies with underdeveloped lungs or feeding issues

  • Infants with neurological or genetic conditions

We understand the unique anxieties parents face after bringing home a medically fragile baby. Our licensed pediatric nurses provide both skilled care and parental coaching—so you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

 

G-Tube & Tracheostomy (Trach) Care with Confidence

Many children with chronic conditions require G-tube feeding or tracheostomy support. Our pediatric-trained caregivers are fully equipped to:

  • Clean and care for G-tube sites

  • Administer enteral nutrition safely

  • Suction and maintain trach tubes

  • Respond calmly to respiratory emergencies

We also educate families, empowering you to feel more secure managing your child’s daily needs.
