Daystar for Medically Fragile Children is New York State’s first and only pediatric medical day respite program designed specifically to meet the community’s growing demand for services for medically fragile infants and young children. Founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1988 as a foster care provider for medically fragile infants, Daystar has evolved to become an invaluable community resource, providing nursing supervised respite care for infants and children braving multiple serious, and often life-threatening medical and developmental complexities. Daystar’s innovative model has earned recognition as a Best Practices Child Care Program and Environment from New York State’s Office of Children and Families (OCFS).
Daystar’s model incorporates expert pediatric nursing, therapeutic and educational support programming, and parent support and family engagement services to medically fragile children up to age five. Daystar’s hours of operation are weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is located at 700 Lac De Ville Boulevard, Rochester, NY 14618.
