A core pillar of what we do is caring for the dying child and family.

Here at LauraLynn we know that children with life-limiting conditions may have symptoms that are difficult to manage and distressing for both the child and family.

A fundamental principle of children’s hospice care is that support is provided not only to the child but to the whole family.

At the core of what we do, is our ability to offer direct care and support to children and their families in recognition that the impact of caring for a child with a life-limiting condition is far reaching.

LauraLynn believes that all children with palliative care needs should be able to access our hospice supports.

LauraLynn House is a specially designed, health care facility that aims to provide a warm and welcoming ‘home from home’ environment, dedicated to children with palliative care needs and their families.

While we no longer accept admissions to our residential care programme we are committed to supporting each individual currently living in the service in a person-centred environment.

LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, formally known as the Children’s Sunshine Home, history began as far back as 1925 when Dr Ella Webb, a pioneering Dublin paediatrician of her time, treated many cases of children with rickets.
