Our Hospice at Home service was launched in October 2023 to provide expert, comprehensive specialist nursing care in the homes of our babies, children and young people.

Our team support those with increasing care needs and where their condition is deteriorating or when end of life care is needed. We work closely with other community nursing services to help families build confidence in caring for their child at home to support discharge from hospital.

This provides a service like no other and means so much to our families. One parent said: “Hospice at Home allowed for my son to be comfortable and cared for in his own home, that was one of his final wishes. I knew it was exactly what he wanted and was happy.”

Referrals may be made by a health professional, please visit our Referrals Page for more information about referring a baby, child or young person to Rainbows. If there is an urgent need please contact the Lead Nurse for Hospice at Home by calling 01509 638 000.
