Is Home Healthcare Right for Your Child?
Children (ages 0-21) with medical needs requiring nursing or therapy services may benefit from home healthcare. With a referral and physician’s order, our pediatric nurses travel directly to your home to offer skilled services, including blood draws, infusions, wound care, and medication administration. Physical and Occupational Therapy supports children to help them develop the strength and coordination to handle daily tasks independently.
Why Kahua Home Health Services?
All of our nurses and therapists have pediatric training and a dedication to caring for kids.
We coordinate closely with your child’s physicians to ensure continuity of care.
Home healthcare serves your family where you most want to be – at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What medical conditions does my child need to have to get home healthcare?
Children who have ongoing health needs like chronic illnesses, developmental delays, or recovery from surgery usually qualify. These can include respiratory issues, cerebral palsy, or physical disabilities. We have experience caring for kids with many complex conditions and can support your child’s specific needs.
How do I start home healthcare for my child?
Usually, a doctor needs to refer your child for home healthcare services. We can help guide you through the process by working with your child’s physician to get the necessary orders in place so care can begin smoothly.
Can home healthcare take the place of hospital or clinic visits?
In many cases, yes. Home health care can reduce how often your child needs to visit the hospital or clinic because treatments and monitoring happen right at home. However, some procedures or emergencies might still require in-person care. Our team ensures your child’s health is closely monitored to know when those visits are needed.
What will happen during my child’s home healthcare visits?
During visits, nurses or therapists will provide skilled medical care tailored to your child’s needs. This might include medication administration, wound care, therapy exercises, or parent education. We focus on making each visit supportive and informative for your family.
Is it safe for my child to get home healthcare if they have complex medical needs?
Yes, home healthcare is safe for medically complex children when delivered by trained professionals. Our nurses and therapists follow strict safety protocols and work closely with your child’s doctors to provide care that is both effective and secure.
How do therapy sessions work at home?
Therapists bring portable equipment and create personalized sessions based on your child’s goals. The comfort of home helps your child stay relaxed and engaged while working on skills like strength, coordination, and independence. We tailor every session to your child’s progress and comfort.
What if my child’s health changes while receiving home healthcare?
If your child’s condition changes, we continuously assess and adjust the care plan as needed. We keep close communication with your child’s physician to make sure care remains appropriate and responsive to any new needs.
