The Js Hospice offer respite and hospice care in the comfort of their own homes for 16 - 40 year olds from Essex with life limiting and life threatening conditions. Our vision is to provide the very best care and facilities for young adults with life limiting conditions who use The J's in age-appropriate surroundings.The J's will provide emotional support for the young adults and thier families and carers. Ultimately, there will be medical, nursing and emotional support during the last days of the person's life and bereavement support for families and carers. There is no hope of cure for the young adults the J's will care for, and this will underpin the philosophy and level of care that our services will provide. It will also reaffirm the idea that life, however short, is for living to the best of a person's ability, to have fun, feel good, laugh and be who they want to be.
