We care for patients with any life-limiting or terminal illness. A lot of our adult patients have some type of cancer, but we also care for Motor Neurone Disease patients, as well as people with COPD, heart failure, kidney disease or Multiple Sclerosis, to name but a few. Children usually have rare degenerative illnesses, with only 2 nationally having cancer. There is a wide spectrum of conditions which may require that a child needs palliative care. The majority of the care needed is respite care. We also provide terminal care and we have a special room where children and young people who have died can stay until the funeral takes place. This facility provides an opportunity for the family to say goodbye in a homely environment and with the support of staff if needed.
