Broward Children’s Center offers Skilled Nursing / Long Term Care.

Broward Children's Center is a pediatric skilled nursing facility where several families describe deeply devoted, trusted care for medically fragile children, including those on hospice or with tracheostomies. However, one family reported a case of alleged neglect that they say contributed to a child's death, and another raised concerns about unsafe bus driving, pointing to inconsistent safety oversight.

Broward Children’s Center had 7 government inspection visits in the last three years, with 55 citations on file according to CMS Care Compare data. The full history, including what each citation was for and whether it was corrected, is in the inspection section on this page.
