Hospice of the East Bay was founded in 1977 to provide pain contro and symptom management,
along with emotional, spiritual, practical, and bereavement support, to terminally ill patients and their
families. When a loved one is diagnosed with a terminal illness or condition, it is distressing news for
everyone in the family. Multiple surveys report that 85-90% of Americans express the wish to remain
secure at home at the end of their lives, surrounded by the people and things that they love, comforted
by familiar routines, and in control of their medical and personal options. Our hospice care teams
provide that opportunity.
Over the years, more than 15,000 families have benefited from the e?,pertise and compassion of our
hospice professionals. In addition to adult hospice care, we offer two specialized programs: Comfort
for Kids (hospice and palliative care for children 0-18 years of age) end Anna's Program (care for
women with recurrent breast cancer). In 2004, we opened Bruns House in Alamo. The only inpatient
hospice facility in the East Bay, the House features six private bedrooms, 24-hour medical care for
patients and unlimited visiting hours for their family and friends. At Bruns House, patients experience
privacy and quiet that cannot be achieved in a hospital, and constant monitoring and treatment that
cannot be achieved at home.
At Hospice of the East Bay, three teams provide care for adults, and one team is specially trained to
care for children. Teams include hospice physicians, and nurse/case managers-all experts at
controlling pain and managing other complex symptoms common to terminal illness-as well as
medical social workers, home health aides, and spiritual and bereave nent counselors. In addition, 85
trained volunteers provide companionship and assistance with many practical needs of patients and
their family caregivers (i.e. driving to appointments, light cooking and housekeeping).
In 2007, our clinical teams cared for almost 1600 patients and their family members in their own
homes, at Bruns House, or in a variety of skilled nursing or assisted living facilities. Wherever
services are provided, we consider the entire family to be the unit of -,are.
All medically qualified patients are accepted, regardless of their insu-ance status or ability to pay for
services. The Hospice Foundation of the East Bay, formed in 1999, covers the cost of otherwise
uncompensated care by soliciting individual and corporate donations, writing grants, sponsoring many
fund-raising events, and managing five thrift shops.
Our hospice consistently earns Gold Seal Accreditation from JCAH0, the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, which evaluates the quality of care delivered by hospitals,
surgery centers, and hospices. Hospice of the East Bay is a:
• California-licensed hospice
• California-licensed home health agency
• Medicare-and Medi-Cal-certified hospice
• Medicare-and Medi-Cal-certified home health agency
• Not-for-profit organization 501(c)(3) agency
