What we do: Whenever possible, children and their families are given the choice to live in their own homes and communities, not hospitals.

Our care is family centered, age specific and culturally appropriate. This role enables patients to live in the setting of their choice, and is integral in keeping individuals in their homes. Our shifts cover days, evenings, nights, weekends and holidays. The HTN develops meaningful relationships with their patients and provides much needed hands on care.
