For families navigating complex medical needs, milestones like this represent more than a normal celebration. They represent progress, support, and the ability to experience life’s meaningful moments in a familiar, comfortable environment.

The Impact of One-on-One Care at Home

Selina’s journey is supported by a dedicated care team, including her nurses, Tameka and Dorene, whose consistent presence has helped create stability for both Selina and her family.

Private Duty Nursing (PDN) is built around individualized, one-on-one care, something that plays a critical role in supporting medically complex patients at home. Unlike traditional settings, PDN allows nurses to focus entirely on one patient at a time, helping ensure safety, continuity, and personalized attention.

For families, that level of care can make a meaningful difference in everyday life.

What One-on-One Care Supports:

  1. Consistency in Care

    Familiar caregivers help maintain routine, recognize subtle changes, and support long-term stability.

  2. Peace of Mind for Families

    Knowing a skilled nurse is focused solely on their loved one brings confidence and reassurance.

  3. Participation in Life’s Moments

    From daily routines to milestone celebrations, care at home helps patients stay engaged in meaningful experiences.

Care That Extends Beyond the Clinical Setting

Home health care is designed to meet patients where they are, both physically and emotionally.

At Team Select Home Care in Jacksonville, services are built around delivering personalized, skilled care in the home environment, supporting both pediatric and adult patients with complex needs. That approach allows families to focus less on logistics and more on what matters most.

Moments like Selina’s birthday are a reflection of what consistent, coordinated care can support over time.

FAQ: Private Duty Nursing & Family Care Programs

Private Duty Nursing (PDN) is a Medicaid-covered service that provides continuous, one-on-one skilled nursing care in the home for medically complex children.

In Florida, eligibility typically requires:

  • A physician’s order
  • Medical necessity for ongoing skilled care
  • The child to be under 21 years old
  • Care that can be safely delivered at home

PDN services can provide up to 24 hours of nursing care per day, depending on authorization.

Yes. Private duty nursing services are available throughout Florida, including Jacksonville and surrounding Northeast Florida communities.

Local home health providers work with families to:

  • Coordinate care plans
  • Navigate Medicaid approvals
  • Provide consistent in-home nursing support

Access to care depends on eligibility, provider availability, and insurance authorization.

The Family Home Health Aide (FHHA) program allows qualified family members to be trained and employed to help care for their medically fragile child at home.

Under this program:

  1. Family members complete state-approved training
  2. They work through a licensed home health agency
  3. Care is provided under nurse supervision

FHHA services are designed to support, not replace, private duty nursing care.

In certain cases, yes.

Through the FHHA program, eligible parents or family members may:

  1. Receive formal training
  2. Become employed through a home health agency
  3. Provide care under Medicaid guidelines

Participation depends on:

  1. The child qualifying for PDN
  2. Completion of required training
  3. Approval through Medicaid and the care team

Private Duty Nursing (PDN):

  1. Skilled nursing care provided by licensed RNs or LPNs
  2. Continuous, one-on-one clinical care
  3. Designed for complex medical needs

Family caregiver programs (like FHHA):

  1. Allow trained family members to provide certain care tasks
  2. Must be supervised by a licensed nurse
  3. Supplement—not duplicate—PDN services

Families can begin by:

  1. Speaking with their physician about care needs
  2. Obtaining a referral for home health or PDN services
  3. Connecting with a licensed home health provider
  4. Completing Medicaid or insurance authorization

Care teams then help build a personalized plan based on the child’s needs

Yes. Family caregiver programs and private duty nursing services exist in multiple states, though program names, requirements, and eligibility vary.

For example:

  1. Some states offer CNA, LHA, or HHA caregiver pathways
  2. Medicaid programs differ by state
  3. Training and approval processes are not one-size-fits-all

Families should work with a provider who understands both local and state-specific requirements.

The best first step is connecting with a provider that offers:

  1. Local care teams
  2. Experience with Medicaid and insurance approvals
  3. Guidance through eligibility and enrollment

Families can explore available services by:

  1. Searching for providers in their city (like Jacksonville, FL)
  2. Visiting a provider’s locations page
  3. Speaking directly with a care coordinator

  2. Availability of licensed nurses (RNs/LPNs)
  3. Support with Medicaid and authorization processes
  4. Strong communication and care coordination
  5. Local presence backed by broader support systems

The right provider should feel like a partner, not just a service.
