Almost Home Kids is a nonprofit organization that provides transitional, community-based care for children with medical complexities, bridging the gap from hospital to home. Its services include caregiver training, respite care, advocacy for accessibility and inclusion, and education for healthcare professionals, aiming to support families and reduce reliance on more costly hospital or institutional care. The organization serves families, many of whom live at or below the federal poverty level, by coordinating short-term care within a community-based framework and by contributing to Medicaid cost savings at the state level. Based in the Chicago area and Naperville, Illinois, Almost Home Kids was founded in 1999 and operates multiple sites to support families linked to major children's hospitals and health networks. The organization’s activities address the needs of medically complex children and their families, with ongoing expansion to new facilities and partnerships to extend its reach and impact.
