Children and Young People
Supporting children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions to live life to the full
Our service is on hold as we work with the Government of Jersey and other healthcare providers and charities to assess the needs of children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. We continue to support bereaved children and young people dealing with grief and loss through our experienced counselling and support services, both on a one-to-one and group basis.
We provide palliative care to children and young people who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, from birth to 18 years. The service aims to enable children and young people to live their lives to their full potential throughout their illness, providing holistic care, support, and advice. We recognise that this is possible by keeping the family at the centre of all assessment, planning, and evaluation of care.
We respond to individual needs flexibly and proactively, by empowering choice and independence, and we are passionate about getting it right for every child and young person.
Respite care allows Children and Young People with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions time away from home meeting their holistic needs; including nurse led clinical care
We provide:
- Respite sessions at our designated rooms at Jersey Hospice Care
- Access to emotional support, bereavement counselling, and spiritual support
- Paediatric nurse led respite care
- A close and effective partnership with the primary and acute health sectors to ensure continuity and integrated care
Care embraces physical, emotional, social, and spiritual elements and focuses on the enhancement of quality of life for the child or young person and support for the family.
