Journey to a Place Called Home

This is the story of a model transitional care home that was established to permit medically fragile and technologically dependent infants and toddlers to live with a family in the community.

These children have no alternative to prolonged hospitalization where the cost is enormous both for the actual care and in terms of the compromised development of the child. The transitional home offers an environment that is developmentally sound, emotionally secure and medically safe.

Interviews with health-care providers and parents document that children do better in the transitional care home in terms of social behavior and improvement of medical problems, allowing them to strengthen and finally to unite with families in a permanent home.
