Information for Professionals

Naomi House is a children's hospice providing a professional palliative care service for families whose children have a life limiting illness. The hospice is a purpose built house with ten bedrooms and accepts children, young people and their families from central southern England. Two nurses are on duty at the hospice at all times and a doctor is always on call.

We aim to provide 1:1 care whenever possible for the children visiting the hospice, which includes a minimum of two nurses, but often many more, depending on the number of children resident. We have a doctor who visits the house daily, and there is a doctor on call 24 hours per day.

Individual & Family Support

We aim to support the individual needs of the child or young person and their family by the delivery of high standards of quality care. In addition, we value the need to work in partnership with both families and other professionals to include physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual support throughout the child's care pathway.

Families do not have to pay for our services. We are funded by charitable and voluntary donations and receive 10% of funding from Government.

The Director of Care is Rachel Houltram RGN, RSCN
