What Are Children's Transitional Care Homes?
KenCrest was one of the first organizations in the country to pioneer this specialized care model empowering families to move their young children from the hospital to a more home-like setting. Each KenCrest home offers a warm, family-centered setting where children thrive in a community-based life model by participating in field trips, attending school programs, spending afternoons at the park, and other daily activities while receiving the specialized rehabilitative services they need.
Two nurses and one direct support professional provide exceptional care 24 hours daily.
Our homes are easily accessible by public transportation and are close to superior pediatric medical facilities if needed. Families are encouraged to visit often and receive training on caring for their child’s unique needs in preparation for the child to move into their family home.
Our Team
Our team, led by our Medical Director affiliated with A.I. DuPont Hospital in Wilmington, DE, comprises skilled nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathology personnel, and a social worker. Our Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF) license demonstrates that we adhere to a rigorous set of standards for care that is the best available for every child.
