236.0. "Daycare for sick children" by TNPUBS::STEINHART (Laura) Wed Jul 22 1992 12:12

    This note is for listing sources of sick-child care, when your child is
    too sick for daycare, and you can't stay home from work.
    
    I am particularly interested in hospitals that now offer this service. 
    It would also be helpful to list visiting nurse servicesk that can
    help, or nanny agencies that can provide temporary care givers.
    
    For myself, my daughter seems to have developed a digestive bug.  Dad
    is home with her today but tomorrow could be a real problem.  I am
    trying to get out a book on a tight deadline.  I live in Londonderry NH
    and work in Littleton MA.  
    
    Thanks,
    L

    Laura,
    
    I believe Nashoba Hospital in Ayer offers a sick-child daycare program.

    I just called and got the details.
    
    Under the Weather:
    
    Nashoba Valley Hospital, 200 Groton Rd., Ayer MA
    (508|) 772-0200 ext. 330 (pediatrics)
    
    Cost is $3.50 per hour
    Parent supplies clothing, diapers, food, special toys, medicine.
    They supply wipes, tv, vcr, tapes, bedding, wipes, beverages,
     ice cream.
    They will take children with the flu.  The only restriction on
     contagion she mentioned is strep:  must be on antibiotics 24 hours
     and have permission of your pediatrician.
    
    Pre-register by filling out a short form and providing a copy of the
     child's immunization record.
    
    Call the night before to see if they can accomodate your child.  Verify
     after 7 a.m. when the day nurse comes on duty.

Laura,

    I believe the sign for the Little Frogs and Polliwogs (something like
    that) day care center a little bit south of Manchester airport on
    Brown Ave. says that they do sick-day care.  They ought to be in
    the phone book.

236.6Dallas areaSCAACT::COXIf you have too much to do, get your nap first!Mon Aug 03 1992 23:4013
    HCA in Plano TX has a sick daycare.
    
    It is for children whose physicians are affiliated with that hospital,
    and you have to be registered (with proof of current immunizations)
    first.
    
    The cost is $25/day ($35 for two kids) including breakfast, lunch,
    toys, videos, etc... You bring the medicine and diapers.  There is a
    1-1 ratio of RN to sick child.
    
    It is helpful to call ahead for reservations as they are often full,
    and won't take certain combinations of illness (they take pink eye, but
    only if they have only one child, for example).
