Honoring the Fighters, Supporting the Families
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
At Adoration Home Health & Private Duty Nursing, we recognize the courage and resilience of children battling cancer and the strength of the families who walk beside them. In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we reaffirm our commitment to being a trusted partner in care—delivering skilled, compassionate, and personalized private duty nursing services to support young patients at home.
Why This Month Matters
Each year in the U.S., an estimated 15,000 children under the age of 19 are diagnosed with cancer (National Cancer Institute, 2022). While survival rates have improved, cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease among children (American Cancer Society, 2023). The journey through treatment often involves complex medication regimens, frequent monitoring, emotional support, and a care plan that evolves over time.
How Adoration Can Help
Our Private Duty Nursing services offer skilled care for children facing cancer and other complex medical needs—right in the comfort of their own home. Services may include:
- Medication administration
- Monitoring vital signs and symptom progression
- Central line and port care
- Pain and symptom management
- Coordination with oncology specialists
- Emotional and psychosocial support for the whole family
Benefits of Private Duty Nursing
Children with cancer may spend significant time in hospitals. However, research shows that in-home skilled nursing can reduce hospitalizations, lower infection risk, and improve quality of life (Choi et al., 2019). Families also benefit from enhanced emotional wellbeing when care is delivered in familiar surroundings with consistent caregivers.

Whether you’re a medical professional seeking a reliable partner for continuity of care, or a family seeking support during a difficult time, Adoration is here. Our team works hand-in-hand with physicians, specialists, and case managers to create customized plans that honor every child’s unique needs.
