  • 24/7 access to a pediatric hospice nurse via a live-answered phone line
  • 24/7 availability of home visits for symptom management
  • Care coordination by a Dell Children’s at Home nurse case manager
  • Psychosocial, spiritual, and child life support for your child and family
  • Pain and symptom management by specially trained doctors and nurse practitioners
