We provide and fund in-home nursing care and respite support for children up to the age of six, with a range of neurodevelopmental issues including brain injury, genetic diagnosis and severe cerebral palsy.
Many of the children we care for have undiagnosed conditions. We also provide end-of-life care for children under the age of 6, regardless of diagnosis.
The initial blueprint and ethos of family centred care continues to be the foundation for our service. This model of care is underpinned by a Rainbow of Care showing the holistic nature of our service.
Families refer to the service as ‘The Gift of Time’. Time to do the ordinary things that others often take for granted. Throughout the challenging climate that is Covid-19, we have adapted our model of care to meet HSE guidelines, as well as the care needs of our families.
Ensure children and families are supported and empowered at home because there is ‘no care like home care’.
Grow and enhance Jack & Jill’s community of care across Ireland through best practice, knowledge and partnerships.
Create greater support and sustainability for children’s in-home respite and palliative care into the future.
Enhance our credibility as an organisation governed and managed in line with best practice.
