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.

Our residents live with complex medical needs that require round-the-clock skilled care, but they also need something just as vital, people who truly see them. People who celebrate birthdays, share laughter, and bring comfort when the days are hard.

This Giving Tuesday, your gift keeps that love going strong. Please give today to help us continue caring for every child and family who depends on this community. 💙exceptionalcare.org/joy

Last week, Exceptional Care for Children welcomed and hosted a productive visit with Congresswoman Sarah McBride.

We were pleased to showcase our mission, introduce the incredible residents we serve during a visit to our therapy department, and review the progress on our Bridge Unit, including a walkthrough tour led by our Bancroft Construction team. During the visit, we discussed the importance of this unique facility, the only one of its kind in Delaware, and the lasting impact that it has on the children and families we serve.

We greatly appreciate Rep. McBride's time and demonstrated commitment as a strong ally for the long-term care community.
