Young People Overview

 
Many children with a life-threatening or life-limiting condition now live into young adulthood due to advances in medical care.  The need for respite care to extend beyond children’s services is important to meet the individual needs of these young people.

The journey to adulthood itself can be uncertain and because of illness; young people and their families can be faced with many challenges. Young adults have their own unique needs that are different to those of children and a children’s hospice no longer meets their individual requirements. Focused support through this period of transition from children’s to adult services is essential.  The team at jacksplace place will assist the young adults through this time.

jacksplace, the new facility for young people, is the fourth unit of its kind in the country and provides unique support for young people with palliative care needs. The facility enables the charity to provide care centered on privacy, dignity and independence.
