Our care and support
At East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), we deliver all-encompassing, lifelong care that includes a comprehensive range of services to support both bereaved and non-bereaved families. Our aim is to ensure the best possible quality of life for babies, children, and young people. Our supportive care is all-encompassing and, if required, this life-long support includes specialist nursing, therapies, and ongoing wellbeing care through all the ups and downs.
Depending on a family’s needs and wishes, we can provide care in one of our hospices, in the family home, in hospital, or in the wider community. This ensures every family receives care somewhere they feel safe and comfortable. Our hospices at Milton (Cambridge), The Nook (Norwich), and The Treehouse (Ipswich) are all rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission.

Wellbeing support
The process of bereavement can start at the moment of diagnosis. We believe that having support available when you need it, both during your child’s life and afterwards, helps families to cope during the more difficult times.
Care at end of life
The overall aim is to provide holistic symptom management, care and support for those who are nearing end of life. Care by EACH staff may be provided in the family home, in the hospice or at hospital, depending on the child and family's preference.
Day care and short breaks
If you're caring for a child or young person with a life-threatening illness, often for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you can feel like a huge strain has been placed on your family life. We hear families telling us that their lives are governed by the timetable of nursing and medical needs.
Transition to adult services
We support families through their transition from child to adult services.
