Little Havens Hospice
If a family have a child or young person who has a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, Little Havens Hospice can help. We're here to make the journey as comfortable as possible, by offering planned respite stays, managing symptoms, for example controlling pain and adjusting medications and caring for children at the end of their lives.
We can care for children and young people up to the age of 19, and their families, from Essex and the surrounding London Boroughs. If a young person is referred for respite and is over 16 years of age we will consider whether another respite provider may be more suitable, this does not affect end of life and bereavement care.
We use a specific set of criteria to assess whether the care provided at Little Havens is suitable for your child, based on their needs. We work closely with the professionals already involved in the care of the child. A referral to Little Havens doesn't mean that any treatment the child may be having will stop.
At Little Havens, we look after the whole family which may include emotional or educational support for the child’s siblings, counselling for parents, grandparents and carers or assistance with social issues.
