Comprehensive pediatric medical daycare just a short drive from Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale, the county seat of Broward County and home to nearly 185,000 residents, is one of South Florida's most dynamic cities. From the bustling Las Olas Boulevard to the waterfront neighborhoods along the New River, Fort Lauderdale attracts families with its excellent schools, vibrant cultural scene, and year-round outdoor activities. But for Fort Lauderdale parents raising children with complex medical needs, finding specialized medical daycare close to home is essential — and Elite PPEC is here to serve those families.
Located approximately 8 miles south in Hollywood, Elite PPEC is easily accessible from Fort Lauderdale via I-95, US-1, or Federal Highway. The drive typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic, and our free door-to-door transportation service eliminates the commute entirely for eligible families. Whether you live near Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, Sailboat Bend, Flagler Village, or the suburbs of western Fort Lauderdale, reaching Elite PPEC is straightforward.
Many Fort Lauderdale families discover PPEC services after their child receives care at Broward Health Medical Center or is referred by a specialist at Salah Foundation Children's Hospital. PPEC — Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care — fills a critical gap for children who are too medically complex for standard daycare but do not require round-the-clock hospital care. At Elite PPEC, children receive continuous skilled nursing supervision, physician-directed therapies, and age-appropriate developmental stimulation in a warm, nurturing environment.
Our center cares for children from birth to age 20 with conditions including cerebral palsy, genetic syndromes, seizure disorders, chronic lung disease, congenital heart defects, technology-dependent needs (ventilators, tracheostomies, G-tubes), and other complex medical diagnoses. Each child receives a personalized care plan developed in collaboration with their physicians and family.
Fort Lauderdale families benefit from proximity to Broward Health Medical Center and Holy Cross Hospital, both of which provide excellent pediatric specialty services. Many families are referred to Elite PPEC by physicians at these institutions. Fort Lauderdale families are typically about 15 to 20 minutes from our center, and our free transportation service makes accessing PPEC care effortless.
Fort Lauderdale is also home to a large community of families who have relocated from the Caribbean, Latin America, and other regions. At Elite PPEC, we embrace the cultural diversity of Broward County and offer bilingual staff members who communicate with families in both English and Spanish, ensuring every parent feels informed and involved in their child's care.
