We are providing 'Home from Home' family accommodation at the Rosie maternity hospital in Cambridge to ensure that families are not separated from their sick and vulnerable new born babies receiving medical treatment for serious or life-threatening illness.

Situation

For parents, having a seriously ill newborn baby admitted to hospital is a hugely traumatic experience. It is a time when they want to be at their sick baby's cotside as much as possible: to give their baby the love, care and attention they desperately need. There is currently no hospital accommodation for parents at the Rosie. Most families do not have the resources to relocate themsleves to a hotel and as a result families can be separated and suffer from emotional and financial stress.

Solution

Our ‘Home from Home’ will not only allow parents to stay close to their sick child, it will also provide a comfortable and homely retreat where they can catch up on lost sleep in their own private bedroom, have an invigorating soak in a hot bath, do their laundry, or prepare a home-made meal for themselves or their other children – all safe in the knowledge that they can be back at their baby’s cotside at a moments notice.
