Located in the Heart of Hollywood, FL
Elite PPEC is a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care center located right in the heart of Hollywood, Florida. We provide comprehensive medical daycare services for medically complex children from birth to age 20 — fully covered by Florida Medicaid at no cost to families.
Serving the Hollywood community with compassionate, expert pediatric extended care
Hollywood, Florida is home to a vibrant, diverse community of families — and for those raising children with complex medical needs, Elite PPEC is here to provide the specialized support they deserve. Conveniently situated at 411 S 21st Ave, our facility is easily accessible from neighborhoods throughout Hollywood, including Downtown Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, Liberia, Oakridge, and the Hollywood Beach area.
As a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center, we serve as a medical daycare alternative for children who require more clinical oversight than a traditional childcare setting can provide. Many Hollywood families discover PPEC services after their child has been discharged from hospitals like Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital — located just minutes from our facility — and need ongoing medical supervision during the day while parents work or attend to other responsibilities.
Florida's PPEC program was created to give medically fragile children a safe, nurturing environment where they receive continuous skilled nursing care, physician-directed therapy services, and age-appropriate developmental stimulation. At Elite PPEC, we embrace this mission fully, combining medical excellence with the warmth and encouragement every child needs to thrive.
Our Hollywood PPEC center cares for children from birth through age 20 who have diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, congenital heart defects, chronic lung disease, seizure disorders, genetic syndromes, traumatic brain injury, technology-dependent conditions (ventilators, tracheostomies, G-tubes), and other complex medical needs. We welcome children across the full spectrum of medical complexity and create individualized care plans to meet each child's unique health and developmental goals.
Being located in Hollywood means we are deeply connected to the South Florida community. Our staff members live in and around Broward County, and many have personal connections to the Hollywood area. We understand the unique needs of local families and work closely with area pediatricians, specialists at Memorial Healthcare System, and other community resources to ensure continuity of care for every child.
Our multidisciplinary team delivers a full spectrum of medical and therapeutic services under one roof in Hollywood, FL.
Licensed registered nurses and LPNs provide continuous medical monitoring, medication administration, G-tube feedings, tracheostomy care, ventilator management, and individualized nursing care plans for every child.
Our licensed physical therapists work with children on gross motor skills, mobility, strength, balance, and coordination through play-based therapeutic activities tailored to each child's developmental needs.
Occupational therapists help children develop fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care abilities, and adaptive techniques to achieve greater independence in daily activities.
Our speech-language pathologists address communication challenges including speech articulation, language development, feeding and swallowing disorders, and augmentative communication devices.
Board-certified behavior analysts provide ABA therapy and behavioral support to help children manage challenging behaviors, build social skills, and improve daily functioning.
Respiratory therapists deliver specialized airway management, nebulizer treatments, ventilator support, oxygen therapy, and chest physiotherapy for children with chronic pulmonary conditions.
Creative arts therapies promote emotional expression, cognitive development, and sensory engagement through structured art and music-based activities led by trained therapists.
