Elizabeth Seton Children’s Center is a pioneering pediatric skilled nursing facility based in Yonkers, New York. It specializes in providing comprehensive, long-term, residential medical care for medically complex children and young adults from infancy through age 21. As the largest facility of its kind in the United States, the center is known for its integrated, family-centered approach, blending high-acuity medical treatment with developmental and therapeutic enrichment. Their multidisciplinary teams include pediatric nurses, physicians, therapists, educators, and social workers who collaborate to create individualized care plans for each resident.
