By the Bay Health

HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

By the Bay Health works closely with community physicians to ensure the highest quality end-of-life care for their patients, regardless of what service they choose. Our care team approach ensures that your patients will be surrounded by the expertise they need, so they and their loved ones can have peace of mind during their health journey.

We are pioneers in hospice care at home, only the second such agency in the country, and the first in California.

Feel free to contact any of our By the Bay Health physicians any time during a patient’s illness. We are happy to consult with you on pain management, hydration, and other aspects of end-of-life care, as well as help you determine if it is time to refer to another service line.

HOSPICE CARE

We urge you to refer to hospice care early. There is no penalty for referring too soon. Our medical team can help determine if it is time. Should your patient come on our service, you can stay involved with care while we treat symptoms and provide spiritual, emotional, and practical support to patients
and their families.

Palliative Care

Our palliative care program uses the same inter-disciplinary approach and care teams as our hospice program. Insurance coverage and service areas vary according to patient location and circumstances. Please contact us for details.

SKILLED HOME HEALTH CARE

We have combined the expertise of two formerly independent agencies, Incare and Healing at Home, to offer patients recovering from injury or surgery, or managing chronic illness the option to receive treatment in the comfort of their own home.

Pediatric Care

We have one of the very few pediatric hospice and palliative care programs for children in Northern California.

FACILITY PARTNERS

We provide hospice care, consultative palliative care, and grief support for patients in Skilled Nursing Facilities and Residential Care Facilities.
We also offer training for facility staff members in best practices of end-of-life care.
