The number of the visits to Hope House or Tŷ Gobaith depends upon a number of factors, including the current health of the child or young person. No charge is ever made to families.
All families are invited to stay at the hospices with their sick child and they may do as much, or as little, of their care as they wish. Siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and close friends are all welcome. They are encouraged to make themselves at home, relax, join in activities or spend time talking to team members about any fears and concerns they may have.
Some families choose to bring their sick child to Hope House or Tŷ Gobaith while they go away for a break or spend time with healthy brothers and sisters. Arrangements can be made for friends or family members to visit the child or young person while they are staying with us, and families may contact us at any time.
Families choosing to stay at Hope House or Tŷ Gobaith can stay in en-suite bedrooms close to their children. Some rooms are adapted for family members with a disability.
The care team is made up of a variety of health and social care professionals which enables true holistic and bespoke care. The Medical Officer is a local GP with additional qualifications in palliative medicine.
