Washington, DC — April 7, 2026 — DCLS provides language access services for home-based pediatric care programs, supporting clear communication between clinicians and families for more than 28,000 children across 12 states.

Home health care depends on precise communication in the home. Care plans, consent, medication schedules, and safety guidance are all delivered to parents and caregivers, many of whom speak a language other than English. When that communication is unclear, adherence drops and avoidable problems follow.

What DCLS provides

DCLS delivers on-demand and scheduled interpretation, along with translation of clinical documents, for pediatric home health programs. Interpreters trained in medical terminology support visits by phone and video, and translated materials — care plans, discharge instructions, and consent forms — give families a reference in their own language.

The service is designed for the realities of home care: interpreters available on short notice, coverage across a wide range of languages and dialects, and workflows that fit how home health teams schedule and document visits.

Why it matters

In home-based care, the caregiver is part of the clinical team. Language access ensures that caregiver understands the plan, can ask questions, and can raise concerns early. "Clear communication between clinicians and families is part of good pediatric care," said the DCLS leadership team. "Our role is to make that possible in every language."

A model built to scale

Pediatric home health operates across state lines, payer requirements, and a broad mix of languages. DCLS supports that complexity through a single, accountable service — consistent quality, national coverage, and the capacity to grow with each program's caseload.
