Tender Care PPEC's West Palm Beach Tour

 Providing a Helping Hand for Special Needs Children and Families.

Tender Care has officially opened the doors to our West Palm Beach location! We are one of the first PPECs in Florida, opening our first pediatric center in 1988. Lake Park is our 6th established center.

Tender Care specializes in providing skilled nursing care for medically complex and fragile children, from birth to 21 years of age, in a daycare-like setting. Our facilities are staffed with nurses and therapists who have a passion to see kids succeed. 

Our goal is to enhance the development of each child in every aspect possible, through collaborative relationships between families and staff. This holistic approach to care is carried out in an environment that allows the child to engage in social interactions with their peers, meeting not just physical and medical needs but also their social and psychological needs as well. The result is thriving children, well-positioned to achieve their greatest potential.

Tender Care’s new Lake Park facility includes amenities such as 

– Covered outdoor playground

Transportation to and from the center

Therapy services

Education services

– Skilled nursing care

– An abundance of space

– And much more.

Tender Care is thrilled to have this facility open for kids with special medical needs. It is so important for us to be a resource in the community and for parents to give their children the best medical care possible.

Lake Park PPEC

Why should my child go to Tender Care PPEC?

Tender Care PPEC provides care for medically complex and fragile children from birth to 21 years of age in a daycare-like environment staffed with nurses, CNAs, and therapists. We are the first independently owned PPEC in the State of Florida with our initial center opening in 1988. This means we have an abundance of experience and knowledge in providing loving care to this special pediatric population. We have 6 Tender Care PPEC centers throughout Florida, with our newest facility located in Lake Park.
