Trusted PPEC Services for Pembroke Pines Families

Expert pediatric medical daycare conveniently close to Pembroke Pines

Pembroke Pines is one of Broward County's largest cities, home to over 170,000 residents and known for its highly rated schools, expansive parks like C.B. Smith Park and Pembroke Pines Recreation Center, and safe, family-oriented neighborhoods. For Pembroke Pines families with medically complex children, Elite PPEC offers the specialized care these children need to thrive — just a short drive east on Pines Boulevard or Pembroke Road.

Located approximately 10 miles east in Hollywood, FL, Elite PPEC is accessible from Pembroke Pines within about 20 minutes via Pines Boulevard to I-95 South, or via Pembroke Road directly east. Our facility at 411 S 21st Ave sits in a central Hollywood location that's easy to reach from the Chapel Trail, Silver Lakes, Towngate, and Century Village communities in Pembroke Pines.

Many Pembroke Pines parents first learn about PPEC when their child is discharged from Memorial Hospital West or Memorial Hospital Pembroke, both part of the Memorial Healthcare System that serves western Broward County. When a child needs continuing skilled nursing and therapy services during the day but no longer requires hospitalization, PPEC provides the ideal bridge — a licensed medical daycare setting where children receive physician-directed care while parents can return to work or manage other family responsibilities.

Elite PPEC welcomes children from birth to age 20 with a wide range of complex medical conditions including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida, chronic lung disease, congenital heart defects, seizure disorders, and technology-dependent needs such as ventilators, tracheostomies, and G-tubes. Our multidisciplinary clinical team creates individualized plans of care that align with each child's medical requirements and developmental goals.

Pembroke Pines is widely recognized as one of South Florida's most family-friendly communities, with excellent schools and abundant parks. Memorial West Hospital, located right in Pembroke Pines, is a key healthcare resource for local families with medically complex children. Many parents discover PPEC services through referrals from Memorial West's pediatric team. Pembroke Pines is about 20 minutes from Elite PPEC, and our free door-to-door transportation makes the commute seamless.

Pembroke Pines is home to a vibrant multicultural community, and our center reflects that diversity. Our bilingual staff communicates effectively with Spanish- and Creole-speaking families, and we take pride in creating an inclusive environment where every child and family feels welcome and valued.
