($ Inpatient Units) Catherine Mitchell VP Finance and CFO Hospice of the East Bay Napa Valley Hospice & Adult Day Services
The Bruns House In 2004, we opened Bruns House, the first freestanding adult hospice facility in the East Bay. The House accommodates six acutely ill patients in comfortable, medically appropriate, private rooms. Patients experience privacy and quiet that cannot be achieved in a hospital, and intensive around-the-clock care that cannot be achieved at home. Visiting family members enjoy unrestricted access and the opportunity to just be family members and not caregivers.
