Palliative Home Care
A member of the hospice’s care team will regularly visit a child at home to provide medical and other services including pain control, monitoring a child’s health and progress, physiotherapy, advice about how best to nurse a child, play therapy and counselling for the child, their siblings and parents. Each family is in constant touch with their nurse and a hospice doctor will visit when this is necessary.

The hospice can provide essential equipment and teach parents how to use it. The hospice can also help families to cope with the social problems of having a sick or disabled child.

In 2008 our nurses and doctors made 3,842 visits and spent 13,447 hours caring for sick children and their families in their own homes.
