Hospice care is not about a place—it’s about the care and support you receive, wherever you call home. Our hospice and palliative care programs serve patients in a variety of settings, ensuring comfort, dignity, and expert medical care during serious illness.
We provide care wherever you call home
For most patients, hospice and palliative care take place in familiar surroundings. Our team provides expert care and support in:
- Private homes and apartments
- Assisted living communities
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Board and care homes
- The home of a friend or family member
No matter where you live, we bring compassionate care to you. Our team helps manage symptoms, provides emotional and spiritual support, and guides families through every step of the journey.
Bruns House: Inpatient Hospice Care
For patients needing intensive symptom management that cannot be provided at home, we offer care at Bruns House, the Bay Area’s only inpatient hospice house. Established in 2004, Bruns House provides:
- 24/7 nursing care in a peaceful, home-like setting
- Expert symptom management for pain, nausea, anxiety, and other distressing symptoms
- A private, quiet alternative to hospitalization
Bruns House is designed to provide comfort and dignity at a time when medical needs require round-the-clock attention. Since its founding, it has cared for more than 3,000 patients and their families, offering a level of privacy and support that hospitals cannot provide.
Bruns House: Private Pay Option
For families seeking the comfort and specialized care of Bruns House beyond acute symptom management, we offer a private pay option for routine hospice care. This allows patients to receive hospice services in our dedicated inpatient setting while benefiting from the same compassionate, personalized support.
A Commitment to Care, Wherever You Are
Whether at home, in an assisted living or skilled nursing facility, or at Bruns House, our mission remains the same: to provide expert medical care, ease discomfort, and support patients and their loved ones with warmth and dignity. Wherever you are, we will be there when you need us.
