Hospice by the Bay focuses on dignity, comfort and quality of life. Our team approach to hospice care strives to meet all practical, social, emotional and spiritual needs to maximize quality of life for patients and their families. The patient’s own physician is also part of our team and is included in decisions about the patient’s plan of care.

Care teams include Hospice Physicians, Nurses, Social Workers, Hospice Aides, Spiritual Support Counselors, and Direct Care Volunteers.

Medicare, Medi-Cal and most private insurance plans cover the cost of hospice, including medications, medical supplies and equipment. If you do not have any insurance coverage, we will work with you and your family to ensure you get the services you need.

Besides Hospice Care, types of care offered by Hospice by the Bay are Pediatric Care, Caregiver Support, Community Grief Support, and Palliative Care. Hospice by the Bay also offers Advance Clare Planning workshops and Educational Presentations to educate and inform staff about end-of-life topics.
