Little Hope PPEC

Little Hope PPEC Center is a Christian-based, state-licensed Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) facility in Florida. It serves children from birth through age 20 who have medically complex conditions, providing daytime, non-residential care in a supportive setting. Guided by its Christian mission, the center aims to deliver personalized, high-quality care that supports children’s medical needs, development, and spiritual well-being.

Services include nursing care from registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, daily education tailored to each child’s grade level, and respiratory therapy. Respiratory services may include assessments, oxygen monitoring and administration, nebulizer treatments, chest physiotherapy, suctioning, and tracheotomy care. The center also offers physical, occupational, speech, and behavioral therapies, along with nutritional counseling, meals, and support for children who need gastrostomy or nasogastric tube feeding. Transportation to and from home, and from school to the center, is available for eligible children. Caregiver training is also part of PPEC services. Eligibility requires Medicaid coverage and an age between birth and 20; the center reports that covered medical expenses are fully paid through Medicaid.
