About
Specialist nursing care at home for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
At Jessie May, we provide specialist nursing care at home for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. We support parents, siblings, and wider family members across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Bath and North East Somerset, and Wiltshire. Through life and death, bereavement, and grief, we are here for families for as long as they need us - offering support for weeks, months, or years. With us, seriously ill children can still be children, and families can make memories to hold onto when they need them most. Families welcome Jessie May into their homes, both physically and emotionally, receiving expert care and much-needed space for parents and carers to rest and recharge. Because they know the children so well, our nurses can advocate in clinical settings, ensuring their voices and needs are always heard - while supporting families through the most difficult times. When a child’s life nears its end, they are there too, offering gentle, familiar care that only trusted, long-term relationships can provide. Beyond caring at home, we help families create treasured memories. Whether it’s a zoo trip, a party, or a picnic, our specially organised, fully-funded activities are tailored to the complex needs of the children we support. These moments ease anxiety, reduce financial pressure, and most importantly, give families the space to make happy memories together. Our Family Liaison Officer supports families when they are struggling, providing practical help and emotional reassurance to make life a little easier. Their role ensures families feel heard, supported, and empowered during some of the hardest moments in their lives. From diagnosis through anticipatory grief to bereavement, our compassionate Bereavement Team walks alongside families, offering emotional and practical support, and a listening ear whenever it’s needed
