A sample day includes meal times, medical assessments, free play time, arts and crafts related to weekly themes, nap time, computer time, games and activities that promote gross and fine motor skills as well as teach important life skills. The children, toddlers and up, participate in daily circle time where we read stories, sing songs, and learn age appropriate activities. Our large, open play area provides opportunities for children at all developmental levels to socialize, learn and grow.
Nursing services include tracheostomy/ventilator care, g-tube feedings, medication administration, seizure monitoring, wound care, apnea monitoring, and many other services.
To qualify, a letter of medical necessity and prescription must be written by your child's doctor, and approved by your insurance company. Your insurance company may also require a work/school verification (the work hours and work days for everyone in your family that works outside the home) submitted on company stationery (letterhead paper from the company where you work.) Our dedicated staff at Frankie's World will help you step-by-step with this process.
