Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw, Cumbria's Children's Hospice is a charity dedicated to providing specialist care to adults and children throughout Cumbria, as well as caring for their families, friends and carers. Eden Valley Hospice provides care for people with progressive, life threatening, incurable illness who have difficult and/or complex needs, requiring specialist palliative care. Some patients are in the last few days of life and and have chosen the hospice as their preferred place of care. Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice provides one to one care for children and young adults with life threatening and life limiting illnesses, as well as extending the care and support to their families. Jigsaw’s home-from-home environment allows the nurses to match the normal routines of the children and young people as closely as possible, ensuring a smooth, relaxing and peaceful transition between the home and hospice environments.
