Children's hospices provide respite and terminal care for children suffering from life-limiting conditions in a home-from-home environment. Care is provided for the child and their family at no cost to them for as long as is necessary, including post bereavement support.
You can ask your doctor, health visitor or social worker to refer you to a hospice, or you can contact the hospice yourself. Currently the only children's hospice in the south west is located at Barnstaple. Visit the Children's Hospice South West
