Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice

www.zoesplaceliverpool.org

Zoë’s Place has been in operation in Liverpool for the last 14 years. During this time, the work of the Hospice has really captured the heart of the Liverpool community. The Liverpool Hospice is currently looking to make major improvements to the facilities available in order for us to care for more high dependency babies. The Hospice is soon to launch a major appeal to enable this work to be realised.

Zoë’s Place is the only Baby Hospice in the UK. The West Derby based Hospice offers a one to one care service in a home from home setting, providing a safe and loving environment for our special babies. Mums and dads are able to go away and relax, safe in the knowledge that a trained member of the Zoë’s Place Care Team will be dedicated to the needs of their child. 

The respite care at Zoë’s Place has proven to be vital to so many of the families who have benefited from our service. We are honoured that the parents of our babies feel so confident as to entrust their babies into our care. 

Special Care for Special Babies

Zoë’s Place provides 24 hour respite and palliative care for babies with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions aged from 0-5 years. This care is provided free of charge to all those who access our facilities. More information about Zoë’s Place may be found on our website www.zoesplaceliverpool.org

At Zoë’s Place, our special babies require special equipment and facilities. The Hospice benefits from the following: a light sensory room, a hydrotherapy pool, a messy play area and a dedicated garden.
