About us

We are a Hospice Home Care providing holistic care for terminally – ill children, including those not yet born. Our team consists of more than 120 people – including medical staff, psychologists, and clergy – who have many years of experience in caring for hospice patients, as well as their parents and siblings. We have been providing therapeutic activities since April 2016.

We are currently taking care of more than 140 young patients from Lower Silesia and are the largest unit of this type in the province. Because our activities cover a large area, we have organized a network of branches operating, among others, for the regions of Jelenia Góra, Wałbrzych, Zgorzelec, Kłodzko, Chojnów, Świebodzice and Legnica, which ensure safety and short travel times to reach children living at a great distance from Wrocław.

Together with hospitals in Lower Silesia, including the University Clinical Hospital in Wrocław and the Provincial Specialist Hospital in Wrocław, we run a perinatal hospice – a place which supports families who find out about their child’s terminal illness during pregnancy.
