Our work supporting children like Max

Max was born prematurely and required round-the-clock care during the first year of his life. Now five years old, he has very complex needs. He and his family rely on dedicated support from Whittington Health to provide his specialist care.

Wherever possible, we deliver our care in the comfort of the child’s home. This means the family can stay together in familiar and comfortable surroundings, and avoids the need for stressful journeys to appointments.

Max receives his care in the comfort of his home and this is hugely beneficial to all the family. Sadly though, the only visitors to the home are medical professionals, and the family have become isolated as a result of Max’s needs.

Despite the multiples challenges Max and his family face, Max is making progress thanks to the support he receives from the team at Whittington Health. He loves his play therapy sessions and his mum finds great joy in watching him interact.
