About Zoe's Place Baby Hospice - Coventry

Zoë's Place is a home from home for babies who have life limiting or terminal illnesses and special complex needs, offering palliative and respite care for babies and children from birth to five years old.

We afford each individual respect and dignity regardless of gender, race, culture, religious beliefs or disability. In the UK Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice is the only Hospice that is equipped to treat and care for babies from birth to the ages of 6 years.

The Need

Sadly, we do lose some of our babies, and at such times this affects all members of staff. Parents often approach us when they have been told that their little one has now been termed 'terminally ill'. Each family has individual needs and every family will handle the situation differently. We can arrange for any support that you might need, such as counseling or religious support of your choice.

Sometimes a family will not want their baby to pass away in a hospital environment and it is not always appropriate due to family circumstances for their baby to pass away at home because of the effect if would have on other siblings. The Coventry hospice is funded by the charity, and receives no Government funding.

We rely on the support of the public - people like you!
