FAMILY SECTION

• When life is short two things become very important to the family: the quality of life; and the enjoyment of the time that is left.
• Caring for a seriously ill child puts an immense physical and emotional strain on the whole family.

When life is short two things become very important to the family: the quality of life; and the enjoyment of the time that is left. Caring for a seriously ill child puts an immense physical and emotional strain on the whole family. Some ways in which Children’s Sunshine Home can help:

• Give parents more choices than they currently have.
• Ongoing support for the family when child has passed for as long as they choose Respite, transitional and crisis care for children with life-limiting conditions.
• Support for the family in their own home.
• End of Life care where necessary.
• A "Home from Home" atmosphere provided by a caring team.
• Care by an inter-disciplinary team in partnership with the child's family, hospital and community teams.
