Family for Keeps(R) Transition Care ProgramDream House wrap-around hospital to home Transition Care Programs, Services and Resources via the first and only Children's Transition Care Centers license in the United States: 1) Our one-of-a-kind Transition Care Program provides temporary, family-centered home care for medically fragile children while their own family members (biological, adoptive or foster) and homes are prepared to care for them. 2) Our Education and Skills Training Curriculums (Basic, Advanced and Professional Courses) provide interactive learning experiences teaching families, caregivers, social workers and other non-medical professionals how to provide safe and effective care for medically fragile children outside a clinical setting. 3) Our Bridging the Gap Program helps families acquire therapies, equipment, health care supplies and home modifications to provide safe and accessible homes to meet their children's specialized needs. 4) We recruit, prepare and train respite care providers and foster families for the placement of medically fragile children via our Resource Family Program. 5) The Dream House Advocacy Program strives to heighten public awareness for the plight of medically fragile children by linking private and public sector initiatives to meet the specialized needs of this rapidly growing, extremely vulnerable pediatric population.
