A home away from home

Echo Glade is Heidi Mitchell, RN’s CCL-licensed Small Family Home in Brownsville, Yuba County. We offer short-term, overnight respite for infants and young children with complex medical needs, welcoming one respite child at a time.

Individualized nursing care and familiar routines make room for stories, music, gentle sensory activities, and bedside crafts. A stay can give caregivers time to sleep, recover, and find relief from caregiver burnout while their child receives attentive care.

Meet Heidi

Heidi Mitchell, RN, caregiver at Echo Glade in Brownsville, California.

Hello, I’m Heidi Mitchell, the registered nurse behind Echo Glade. My nursing experience includes intensive care, chemotherapy infusion, outpatient surgery, private duty pediatric nursing, and pediatric home health.

Caring for your child begins with listening to you. Their routines, the way they show discomfort, and the familiar things that help them settle all matter. My goal is to care for your child as a whole person.

I enjoy nature, gardening, crocheting, and arts and crafts, and bring that creativity to gentle experiences shaped around each child.
