Hospice & Respite Care

Respite care is currently allocated as 16 nights for all children. This allocation is currently under review, in order to try and more precisely match demand from families.

We have some 'specialist' weekends dedicated to teenagers and young adults, but otherwise families can telephone and book their time as they wish.

We aim to provide care in a homely but professional way, with trained nurses and care staff on duty 24 hours per day, almost always offering care in a ratio of 1:1, staff to child.
