Demelza is an organisation providing hospice care for over 450 children with life-limiting illnesses and their families across Kent, East Sussex and South London through:
Residential Hospice Care
Demelza House is an eight bedded hospice in Sittingbourne Kent, providing respite, symptom control, end-of-life care and bereavement support. Over 300 children with a life-limiting illness and their families benefit from a wide range of facilities that include a Multi-Sensory Room, Soft Play, Jacuzzi, and The Inclusion Zone for young adults. At the end of the child’s illness, we offer a comprehensive service of support using a bereavement suite - known as the Hop Garden – which enables a family to let go and say goodbye at their own pace.
Hospice at Home Care
Demelza-James provides a hospice at home service for over 150 children in East Sussex, South West Kent and South London with a life-limiting illness and their families. The service complements the care offered at Demelza House with the Demelza-James specialist paediatric nurses going directly into the family home to provide care, crisis intervention, an on-call service, respite and end-of-life care. Demelza-James can provide medical help and expert advice in the home or can simply just allow Mum and Dad to be Mum and Dad again.
