What to expect
When we receive your referral, we will call you to arrange for one of our team to visit you at home.
During this conversation, we will review their medications, discuss any symptoms your child may be experiencing, talk to family, friends and carers if they’re around, and make a plan for your child’s care with you.
The team will also be involved in liaising with other agencies involved in your child’s care, and giving advice and information relating to the child’s condition, their care or social welfare.
Our 24-hour care advice line offers access to coordinators and qualified nurses for advice, reassurance, and personalised practical support whenever you need it.
Your care journey is unique, and at Keech Hospice, we’re dedicated to ensuring that your family feel supported every step of the way.
