Healthcare Professionals

Naomi House is a children's hospice providing a professional palliative care service for families with children facing life-limiting illnesses. The hospice cares for families across Central Southern England.

The staff at Naomi House are made up of 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 of GPs and consultant paediatricians, each offering a 24 hour on-call service.

The charity has two purpose built facilities; Naomi House cares for children up to the age of 16 and jacksplace is for young people 16 and upwards.

The opening of jacksplace in 2010 included the aim of arranging care packages for young people over 16, an initiative involving transitional care for the young person, aiding and supporting their move from Naomi House to jacksplace.

Just some of the support offered by the Naomi House staff includes respite care, end of life support, bereavement support and emergency hospice at home care. The team at Naomi House works in partnership with both families and professionals to provide 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, receiving 10% of our funding from the Department of Health.

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.
