Did you know?

Did you know that ECC's #MagicalJourney trips to Walt Disney World cost approximately $100,000? With just over a month to go till our 2019 trip, we are still $10K away from meeting our goal of sending some very deserving children on a trip of a lifetime.

You can help us meet our goal by playing some bingo! Join on Saturday 2/2 for Designer Bag Bingo at ECC. If you are lucky, this Walt Disney World themed bag set could go home with you!

Mission
Exceptional Care for Children improves the lives of technology-dependent children and their families through skilled nursing, transitional and palliative care.  We are a haven for healing fragile bodies when improvement is possible, and a refuge for nurturing vulnerable spirits when a cure is unattainable.

Pediatric Skilled Nursing Facility
Where superpowers are used every day & nothing is impossible!
ECC is Delaware's first and only nonprofit pediatric skilled nursing facility. Listed among the Top-100 nursing homes in the country, we provide transitional, long-term, and end of life care to children who are very medically fragile in a home-like environment outside of an acute care hospital. The goal is to create an environment where these children can put their medical challenges aside and experience life as a kid. Since opening our doors in 2006, ECC has continued to change the lives of so many wonderful children and their families. Located on a beautiful 7.7 acre campus with a pond and walking trail, we now have 31 individual hand-painted bedrooms, an adaptive playground, speech, physical, and occupational therapy, play therapy and educational services, a field trip committee dedicated to providing the children with experiences outside of the facility, and amazing staff and volunteers who continue to create smiles and memories.
