About This Service

Do you need help managing the health care needs of a child with a chronic condition, injury or disability?

At CritiCare Lancaster, we understand how important it is to get the right care for a child with special needs. Handling everything on your own can be exhausting. You need time to work, tend to the rest of your family, and even take time for yourself — but you also need to be sure your child is well cared for, safe, and happy when you can't be there.

Why Choose CritiCare?

Nurses You Can Trust

All of our nurses participate in a strong, comprehensive training program. We closely monitor and supervise our nurses to ensure your family's complete satisfaction. All nurses go through pre-employment background checks, including a Child Abuse Clearance, and receive ongoing training to enhance and support their skills.

Continuity of Care

We create schedules along with you a month in advance so you know who will be with your child and when. Having the same skilled nurses on a regular basis provides comfort for your child and peace of mind for your family. We also assign a clinical coordinator to accompany nurses for the first few visits.

High-Quality, Compassionate Care

We work along with you, your physicians, and any other disciplines involved in your child's care to ensure the plan of care is individualized to meet your child's needs. Our ongoing Quality Assurance program continually evaluates the quality of services we provide and implements improvements when necessary.

We're a Qualified Waiver Provider

We are a qualified ODP and OLTL waiver provider. We can assist you with navigating services for transition to services at age 21.

We Treat You Like Family

Our clinical management does an outstanding job of helping families with issues beyond their medical care needs. Our management team focuses on your child's care by managing small groups of patients, not exceeding 10 individuals at a time. We're easy to talk to and easy to reach any time!

More Than Medicine

This Is a Different Kind of Care

Our nurses don't just show up to do a job — they become a meaningful part of each child's life. From baking cookies together to exploring the playground, from quiet moments at home to big adventures in the community, our nurses are there for all of it. That's the CritiCare difference.
