Charitable Organisations in Oxford
Respite nursing for Oxfordshire's Sick Youngsters (ROSY) is a charitable organisation which provides respite and other support to families caring for children with life-limiting or chronic conditions at home.
Helen & Douglas House is one of the leading charitable organisations providing hospice care for children and young adults suffering life-shortening conditions. Based at two hospice sites serving Oxford and surrounding counties, they also provide specialist support for the whole family.
Research commissioned by Marie Curie Cancer Care shows that 64 per cent of people would choose to die at home, but in reality only 25 per cent achieve this. Marie Curie Nurses now care for around 50 per cent of all cancer patients who die at home. They work through the night or during the day around Oxford to provide care for patients in comfortable and familiar surroundings.
