End of Life Care
Our team ensure the final weeks, days and hours of a child’s life are as comfortable as possible.
We provide care for newborns, babies, children and young people nearing the end of their life, either at home, in hospital or at The Ark.
Together with your child’s existing team of healthcare professionals, we provide complex symptom management and holistic care. We work closely with your child, with you and other professionals to understand your child’s end-of-life plans and wishes.
By taking a holistic approach to this care we can support your whole family to create lasting memories to treasure, helping you to be together as a family in these final moments.
Should you choose, we can support you to spend time with your child after they have died, in our bereavement suites or at home.
