What do the children at New England Pediatric Care do each day?
A.) A typical day at NEPC is filled with many activities. It is our belief that the children benefit most from a consistent routine that includes many opportunities for stimulation and interaction with others. Daily schedules include bathing, grooming, dressing, and feeding, along with medication and nursing treatments. Daytime hours are filled with school, therapies, aquatics, and field trips, as well as medical appointments and specialty clinics. Late afternoons and evenings include our recreational program and other special activities. At various times of the year, particularly around the holidays, local community and civic groups visits NEPC and sponsor special events for our children. Our volunteer program also provides special attention such as reading, music, rocking and taking walks. Weekend time is less structured but includes recreational programs, time for visits and family activities.
