Overview

Naomi House is a children's hospice providing a professional palliative care service for families whose children and young people have a life limiting illness and their families from central southern England.

The staff at Naomi House are qualified nurses and carers providing specialist one to one care for the children who stay at the hospice. We are supported by a medical team that includes GPs and consultant paediatricians who offer a 24 hour on-call service.

The charity has two purpose built facilities, Naomi House for children and jacksplace for young people over the age of 16.

Support includes respite care, end of life support, bereavement support and emergency hospice at home care.

Children and young people must satisfy our referral criteria, and be accepted by our review panel before they can visit. Click here to find out more about our referral process.

With the opening of jacksplace we aim to arrange care packages for young people over 18, which will involve transitional care for the young person, to move from Naomi House to jacksplace.

The team at Naomi House works in partnership with both families and professionals to include physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual support throughout the child's care pathway.

Families of children using Naomi House do not have to pay for our services. We are funded by charitable and voluntary donations and receive 10% of our funding from the Department of Health.
