What We Do
DeSoto Pediatric Extended Care is a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC), that provides skilled nursing care and therapies to medically fragile and/or technology-dependent children, infancy to age 21, for up to 10 hours a day. DeSoto Pediatric Extended Care is located in Southaven, MS, and proudly cares for children in Desoto and surrounding counties. If your child attends school, we will work with the school system to make sure all services available are received.
Our loving staff treats each child with respect and provides daily skilled pediatric nursing care along with physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy in a fun and interactive environment.
