Right this moment, loving parents are providing round-the-clock demanding care for their seriously ill child. They are exhausted, and need a chance to emotionally and physically recharge.
Crescent Cove (formerly Children's Lighthouse of Minnesota) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to opening an independent home to provide short respite breaks for children with life-limiting conditions and families, and an option beyond the hospital or home environment for compassionate hospice care at the end of life.
The first of its kind in the Midwest and the fourth to be built in this country, Crescent Cove will open this home in fall 2017 and offer a family-focused environment. Along with therapy rooms and recreational space, a family suite will be designed so that families may stay together while enjoying a temporary vacation from the constant demands of caregiving. Skilled professionals will be on-site to provide daily care, meals, pain and symptom control, and therapies that include music, art and hydrotherapy.
Children and kids 0-21 years old will be able to stay at Crescent Cove in one of 6 bedrooms for respite stays and as a sacred place at the end-of-life. The home will also offer 1 suite so that the family may remain close if they choose while receiving physical and emotional respite, and have the opportunity to develop meaningful and supportive relationships with other families with similar experiences.
The mission of Crescent Cove is to offer child and family-focused respite and end-of-life care to children with life-limiting conditions.
By offering daily medical, social and spiritual care services in an environment designed specifically for children and their families – our caring staff and volunteers will serve as a beacon of hope, light and peace to families in need within our community.
