We have the privilege of caring for many children, adults, and their families in the comfort of their own home and through our hospice services, Little Havens and Fair Havens.
Like many people, they had preconceptions of what hospice care meant. They have agreed to tell their story to you in the hope that it sheds some light on the reality of how hospice care can benefit families in the toughest of times, and overcome fears of what hospices are like.
“I love the feeling when we walk through the doors, and I don't have to worry about anything as I know he is safe and happy.”
Little Havens was recommended to us – we didn’t really know anything about our local children’s hospice – until we walked through the front door
“I don’t even want to think about Little Havens not being here, we just want it to be available forever.”
“Without Little Havens I think we’d feel really lost, and alone.”
“The Care Team supported us through it all; they helped us navigate something nobody ever plans for."
"Having Little Havens - a place that is safe and kind, means everything. It's the opportunity to feel a little bit normal."
“If Lucy needs to go to the hospital, our family unit has to be broken up but at Little Havens, we can be together.”
"Little Havens is a safe place where Millie and all the family can come to be ourselves and kind of just have our little bubble."
"Little Havens is like a big extension to your family"
"There is nowhere else like Little Havens that can support us through it all. It means everything just to know they are here if and when we need them”
"Even though my child has these complex conditions, we are still important. Little Havens reinforces that."
“Little Havens is part of our lives, given how much they have helped us as a family and individually."
