Jessie May provide hospice care at home for children living with life limiting condition. Our nurses are free of charge to families who need us. All of the children we support are not expected to live beyond 19 years of age

Jessie May recognises that the whole family is under huge emotional and physical strain when a child has a life limiting condition. Through our team of dedicated Jessie May Nurses we provide specialist palliative nursing care and support to help alleviate some of this pressure. This support is provided in the comfort of the familys own home whenever possible, from the time of diagnosis onwards.

The care we provide is holistic, individualised and family-centred, working closely with other professionals involved in supporting the family to ensure effective communication, continuity of care, and that all needs are met.

A Jessie May nurse can provide:

Specialised nursing care

Palliative and End of Life Care

Complex respite care in the home, and during hospital admission

Bereavement Support for up to 5 years following a childs death

Emotional support and advocacy for families including support visits and telephone support

Invitations to family social events throughout the year
