Accommodation
Martin House has nine bedrooms which can accommodate both emergency and planned care. Your child will be allocated their own room during their stay. All of our bedrooms and bathrooms are fully adapted and suitable for children with complex needs.
Parents are welcome to stay with their child in the house in either their own room or in their child's room if they wish.
Meals
Families can sit together with the care team to enjoy homemade meals freshly prepared by our chefs Robin and Claire. Meals are free of charge for all families. If there is anything you or your child particularly likes to eat, please ask. We accommodate all dietary requirements.
Activities
There are a number of activities your child can enjoy while staying at the hospice. If there is anything your child particularly enjoys, just let us know.
We have an art room, music room, computer and play room and a multi-sensory room. Our outdoor play area is suitable for all children and includes a water play area and wheelchair swing and roundabout.
Art and music therapy
Our art and music sessions are always popular with the children we support and brothers and sisters.
Trips out
If possible, depending on the children or young people staying, we arrange trips out and have vehicles that can accommodate wheelchairs. We also have activities brought into the hospice. If your child is staying unaccompanied, we can fill in a diary if you would like. Please just ask.
