Hospital-to-Home Transition
For a medically complex child or adult, the transition from hospital to home can be a difficult one. Our mission is to make this process smoother and less overwhelming by assisting with everything from coordinating the discharge process with the hospital case manager, to settling in after the first time you take your baby home. No matter your situation, having the right help in place can make a world of difference to you and your family.

We offer pediatric home care services — including pediatric nursing and personal care support services — for children covered by Medicaid programs, the Katie Becket Waiver, private insurances, or private pay. We specialize in caring for patients with:

• Tracheostomies
• IV Therapies
• Tube Feedings
• Wound Care
• Colostomy Care
• Neurological Disorders
• Endocrine Diseases/ Disorders
• IDD Individuals
• Quadriplegic/ Paraplegic
• Cardiac Defects
• & Other Complex Needs

Our Private-Duty Nurses are equipped with the skills to accompany your child to school if it is required by a physician. School nursing services can be added to your child’s plan of care and the nurse assigned can help your child with physical tasks, such as:

• Accompanying the child on the school-provided transportation
• Providing medical care during the school day such as:
• Medication administration
• Tracheostomy and ventilator care
• Additional care ordered by a physician
• Assisting a child with classroom activities
• Serve as the child’s care advocate

Advanced Care Partners entered the adult care market when our patients started to age out of the pediatric programs we serve. Every family that transitions from caring for a medically complex “child” to caring for an “adult” understands how challenging this time can be. As our children age, they often require more specialized and intensive care. We build strong bonds with our families that last a lifetime, just like the care we provide. From birth to adulthood, we are your partner for in-home adult care every step of the way.

Our Care Model The MAC’s innovative approach provides comprehensive and coordinated medical and non-medical services under one roof. The MAC seeks to help individuals with disabilities and special needs of all ages find the assistance they need to improve their health and well-being.

MAC Navigation: The MAC’s services use a family-centered approach with full collaboration from the family, MAC Member, and community partners known as MACers (pronounced “MACK-ers”). Click here to learn more.

Ultra-Accessible™ means that everyone has the same opportunity to be included and participate intentionally in their community. An Ultra-Accessible™ community should provide environments for people of all abilities where they are set up for mobility, access, and success.

The MAC Navigators The MAC Care Model™ is centered around addressing Non-Medical Drivers of Health (NMDOH) through team members known as MAC Navigators that serve as single points of contact for the individuals with disabilities and special needs that The MAC serves. Click here for the Navigation Road Map.

Pre-screening on The MAC website or in person determines eligibility to become a MAC member.

(For purposes of The MAC at Morgan’s Wonderland™, people with a “special need” are defined as individuals of all ages with long-term impairment of cognitive, sensory, motor and/or communication functions, either congenital or acquired, that are not readily rehabilitated. Furthermore, a special need substantially limits an individual’s ability to perform activities in the range of what is considered typical for a person of the same age and cultural context. A special need may result in associated social, behavioral, or mental health complexities, requiring specialized intervention by a professional. Populations served by the MAC are the range of conditions that are classified as intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as acquired or congenital physical disabilities.)

The MAC serves individuals of all ages.

ADA Adult & Babies Changing Tables available.

There are no income requirements to receive Navigation services.

Our MAC Members are members as long as they continue receiving services at The MAC.

Each of our MACers (community partners) accepts specific forms of insurance. MAC Navigators are able to connect MAC Members with the correct partner.

The Wheel Chair Ministry was established at St Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church in 2008. We conduct one fundraiser annually, usually in June. We are part of The American Wheel Chair Mission. This is a non-profit organization dedicated to making IMMOBILE people MOBILE. We deliver this MOBILITY into the lives of people with physical disabilities who have no means to acquire a wheelchair. The delivery of a wheelchair to a person without MOBILITY improves the quality of life for the whole family. A donation of $150 will pay for one wheelchair; it is estimated that each wheelchair improves an average of ten lives. We have delivered wheelchairs to the needy in Nuevo Laredo, Guadalajara, Mexico City, VA Hospitals, Selma, Alabama, Clergy Retirement Centers, and several local disadvantaged people.

For more information call (210) 496-6310.

If you wish to help provide wheelchairs to those in need with a monetary donation, you may simply place a check (payable to American Wheelchair Mission) in the collection basket the next time you come to Mass at St. Mark's.
