Our goals

The first pediatric palliativecare home in Alabama.

The Maker’s Child has partnered with the National Center for Pediatric Palliative Care Homes and Children’s Respite Homes of America to begin thoughtful conversations with Alabama lawmakers — creating a pathway that will allow overnight respite care in a home-like setting for children with complex medical conditions.


01

Skilled nursing care, open to families

The home will provide skilled nursing care for medically fragile children, so families have a trusted respite provider and receive a much-needed time of rest.

02

Holistic, home-shaped care

A multi-disciplinary approach to holistic care and a wonderful home-away-from-home experience, in a setting that fits each child’s needs — with space to continue our monthly respite nights.

03

Jobs for adults with special needs

We will work to employ adults with special needs to assist with daily operations at the center — belonging that doesn’t end at childhood.
