Private Duty Nursing Services in Washington

Recently, our Washington Director, Rachael, and Recruiter, Jess, partnered with local communities for a holiday fundraiser. Our Washington team spent weeks gathering donations, then assembling and delivering dozens of “Boxes of Joy” to children in need. Each box was packed by our own staff with the same attention and care they bring to every visit in a patient’s home.

Initiatives like this reflect our broader approach to home health care in Washington. Our commitment to those we serve doesn’t end when a shift is over… it extends into local organizations, faith communities, neighborhood events, and any space where children, adults, and families need meaningful, reliable support.

That same spirit is what many families are really searching for when they type “private duty nursing services near me” into a browser. Behind every search is a real story: a parent caring for a medically complex child, an adult child worried about aging parents, or a spouse trying to keep a loved one safe and comfortable at home. They’re not just looking for a list of agencies; they’re looking for home health care providers in Washington who will walk alongside them with both clinical expertise and genuine compassion.

In this guide, we’ll unpack:

1. What to look for in private duty nursing and home health providers in Washington.
2. How Team Select delivers pediatric and adult skilled nursing at home, including hourly skilled nursing through PDN.
3. Practical FAQs for families exploring pediatric home health, home health for kids, and private duty nursing in Washington.

When families reach out to a Team Select family expert, they present all of the options available and, they’re usually looking for one of three types of long-term support:

1. Private Duty Nursing (PDN) & Hourly Skilled Nursing – Shift-based, one-on-one hourly skilled nursing from RNs and LPNs for medically complex children and adults. Our PDN teams deliver pediatric and adult skilled nursing at home, including medication management, respiratory support, tracheostomy and ventilator care, seizure management, and ongoing monitoring for high-acuity needs.
2. Long-Term Pediatric Care at Home – Pediatric nursing and pediatric home health for medically fragile infants, children, and teens. We provide private duty nursing services for kids of all ages through consistent nurses, family education, and care coordination across hospital, specialty, school, and state programs such as the Medically Intensive Children’s Program (MICP) and supports administered by the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) when applicable.
3. Long-Term Adult In-Home Care – Ongoing adult skilled nursing at home for adults living with chronic conditions, injuries, or disabilities. Our nurses provide home health services such as monitoring complex conditions, managing medications and equipment, and coordinating care with physicians and specialists so adults can remain safely and comfortably at home.

Some agencies focus on short-term home health after a hospital stay, others on hospice or palliative care, and some, like here at Team Select, specialize in long-term, high-acuity care for medically complex patients who need ongoing support at home.

Knowing which of these you need is the first step to finding the right match.

What Sets Great Home Health Care Providers in Washington Apart

In Washington State, home health agencies are licensed and regulated … which is a good thing for families. The Washington State Department of Health oversees home health agencies and enforces standards to help protect patient safety and quality of care.

That’s the baseline. But when you’re comparing home health care providers in Washington, it helps to look a layer deeper:

1. Clinical expertise for your specific needs
2. Does the agency have experience with medically complex pediatric cases, tracheostomy or ventilator care, seizure management, or chronic adult conditions?
3. Continuity of care
4. Are they set up to provide long-term, consistent care… not just a few weeks of post-acute visits?
5. Family-centered approach
6. Do they include family education, care coordination, and emotional support, not just clinical tasks?
7. Local presence and community connection
8. Do they have established offices in your area and a genuine track record of being involved in the community?

How Team Select Supports Families Who Need Private Duty Nursing in Washington

When a Washington family reaches out to Team Select, here’s what they can expect:

1. A conversation, not a call center script: Our intake and clinical teams take time to understand your family’s story, current needs, and long-term goals. We explore all of your options and make sure families feel informed about what is available to them.
2. Clinical assessment & care planning: We collaborate with your existing providers and, when needed, your physician, to make sure services align with your loved one’s medical needs and existing care plan.
3. Insurance and funding guidance: Our Washington teams help families explore coverage options, including Medicaid, private insurance, and other programs where applicable, and can point to state resources that explain in-home care funding.
4. Thoughtful caregiver and nurse matching: We recognize how personal it is to invite someone into your home. We work hard to match your family with nurses and caregivers who are clinically qualified and a good relational fit.
5. Ongoing communication and support: Care needs change. Our teams stay connected with families and collaborate closely with clinicians to adapt care as those needs evolve.

Supporting DDA & MICP-Eligible Families with Private Duty Nursing

Many of the children and families we serve in Washington are also connected to state programs such as the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and the Medically Intensive Children’s Program (MICP).

DDA, part of Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services, helps eligible children and adults with developmental disabilities access services and supports in the community, including in-home services and respite. If you have been assessed to need professional services beyond what you can get through Medicaid and private health insurance (if you have it), you may be able to get professional services that include nursing provided by a registered nurse (RN) or a licensed practical nurse (LPN).

The Medically Intensive Children’s Program (MICP) is an optional Medicaid program that provides private duty nursing for children 17 and younger whose complex medical needs cannot be met through intermittent home health alone. These medically intensive children can receive skilled nursing in the family home, foster homes, or contracted group settings.

Our Washington teams work closely with families who are enrolled in, or applying for, DDA and MICP. While specific eligibility and approvals are determined by the state, we help families understand how pediatric private duty nursing, pediatric home health, and hourly skilled nursing can fit alongside these programs so children can remain safely at home whenever possible.
