Hospice by the Bay made my mother’s passing a beautiful experience filled with love while providing her comfort as she transitioned out of this world into eternal rest! From the nurses, to social workers, even volunteers — everyone cared deeply about Mom’s physical needs as well as emotional ones during what is such an important time in one’s life path towards death.. I’m Grateful to them all which made possible a peace-filled journey home!

My father was a resident at Hospice by the Bay for several weeks and we were so pleased with the quality of care. The team provided excellent communication for my family about my father’s condition, which allowed us to be properly supported throughout the dying process. We could not have asked for more compassionate and supportive staff who looked after him in his final days.
