Exceptional Care for Children

Exceptional Care for Children Fragile Bodies & Vulnerable Spirits
Help us make their childhood truly exceptional.

Exceptional Care for Children is Delaware's first and only non-profit pediatric skilled nursing facility. Listed amongst the top 100 nursing homes in the country, we provide transitional, long-term, and end of life care to children who are very medically fragile in a home-like environment outside of an acute care hospital. The goal is to create an environment where these children can put their medical challenges aside and experience life as a kid. Since opening our doors in 2006, ECC has continued to change the lives of so many wonderful children and their families. Located on a beautiful 7.7 acre campus with a pond and walking trail, we now have 31 individual hand painted bedrooms, an adaptive playground, speech, physical, and occupational therapy, play therapy and educational services, a field trip committee dedicated to providing the children with experiences outside of the facility, and amazing staff and volunteers who continue to create smiles and memories. Please visit our website at www.exceptionalcare.org to learn more about how you can help make a difference. Our mission reads: Exceptional Care for Children improves the lives of technology-dependent children and their families through skilled nursing, transitional, and palliative care. We are a haven for healing fragile bodies when improvement is possible and a refuge for nurturing vulnerable spirits when a cure is unattainable.

🎉Celebrating 2️⃣0️⃣ Years of Exceptional Care: 2006–2026

This month, Exceptional Care for Children officially kicks off our 20th Anniversary! Since opening our doors in February 2006, we’ve grown from those first three residents to a bustling home of 46—and we aren’t stopping there.

As we celebrate 20 years of milestones, we’re looking ahead to our biggest chapter yet: the opening of our Bridge Unit this spring, which will allow us to welcome 22 more residents into our ECC family.

Thank you to our community, our staff, and our families for two decades of exceptional love and specialized care. Here’s to the next 20!✨

Spreading Love, One Note at a Time! 🎶❤️

Our hallways were filled with a little extra harmony this week! Our wonderful residents teamed up with our talented Music Therapist to deliver "Singing Valentine’s Grams" to our hardworking staff.

It was a beautiful reminder that a song and a smile can go a long way. Seeing the joy on our team's faces as they were serenaded by the people they care for every day was truly the highlight of our week.
