Private Duty Nursing: A Lifeline for Families Managing Birth Defects
Compassionate Care for Children with Birth Defects
Birth defects affect 1 in every 33 babies born in the United States, with an estimated 120,000 infants impacted annually (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2023). These congenital conditions often require specialized medical attention, ongoing management, and compassionate support for both the child and their family. Adoration Home Health and Private Duty Nursing provides skilled, personalized care that empowers families to focus on their child’s development while we address their complex medical needs.

The Benefits of Private Duty Nursing
Research shows that children with birth defects who receive skilled in-home nursing care experience improved outcomes, including fewer hospitalizations and better developmental progress (Smith et al., 2021). Families also report reduced caregiver stress and an enhanced ability to focus on their roles as parents rather than full-time caregivers.
