Meeting the unique needs of medically fragile children in the comfort of their home.
Coastal Kids Home Care, the only in-home pediatric palliative and home health provider in Santa Cruz County, cares for children with serious illnesses. When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness or born with a complex medical condition, it impacts the entire family. For many parents in Santa Cruz County, juggling hospital visits, specialists in distant cities, and their child’s daily care is overwhelming. Our skilled pediatric nurses provide vital medical care at home, monitoring health, managing treatments, easing symptoms, and offering specialized palliative care in the most comforting environment possible.
Beyond medicine, our team of social workers, child life specialists, and therapists offer emotional support and therapeutic play to help children and families cope. Whether it is coordinating care, reducing stress, or bringing comfort in a time of crisis, Coastal Kids surrounds each family with compassion, expertise, and hope, making it possible for children to thrive at home where they belong.
I was terrified when we first got his diagnosis, but Elijah has been a blessing, enriching our lives in ways we never imagined. Coastal Kids has been a lifeline, like family, bringing care, comfort, and joy into his life every day.
