Situation
Caring for a child with a life-shortening condition places enormous strains on their family. Round-the-clock care and complex needs lead to emotional and physical exhaustion. Families become isolated, especially in rural counties like Dorset and Wiltshire. COVID-19 has made even this awful situation much worse. These children are highly vulnerable to any infection. Parents are frightened and carefully shielding their children at home, where we are often the only support they receive.
Solution
For as long as families feel they need to shield their children, Julia’s House will provide specialist respite care in their homes - whenever they need us, daytime, evenings or weekends, for emergency care and for end of life care if required. Following strict infection control procedures and using appropriate PPE, our nurses and carers will ensure vulnerable children are safe, comfortable and able to relax. And that they can reach their potential through tailored stimulation and fun.
