About Expert Hospice and Palliative Care in the Bay Area
Who We Are Our story at Grace and Glory Hospice is one of compassion, dedication, and faith.
Based in Brentwood, California, we have grown into a full-service home hospice agency that continually strives to set new standards for excellence in end-of-life care. Whether we are providing medical support, emotional encouragement, or spiritual guidance, we remain committed to elevating the quality of life for our patients and their families.
We began with a calling: to serve individuals in their final stages of life with tenderness, respect, and expertise. Over time, we have honed our services to include a team of professionals who are deeply committed to the well-being of our patients. We operate under the direct supervision of each patient’s physician to ensure a personalized, medically sound approach. But beyond technical proficiency, we also focus on emotional and spiritual support—believing that true hospice care must address the whole person.
Our Mission Our mission is simple yet profound
to bring comfort and peace to both patients and their families as they confront the challenges of terminal illness and death. We know that this is one of life’s most difficult experiences, and we are honored to be a guiding force of compassion, expertise, and faith.
As part of our mission, we strive to:
- Ease physical pain and discomfort.
- Provide emotional and spiritual support.
- Engage and educate families, empowering them to make informed decisions.
- Foster a nurturing environment where patients can find comfort and dignity.
Our VisionAt Grace and Glory Hospice, our vision is to treat every patient like a cherished member of our own family.
We wish to make the passing of life as comfortable as possible—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In doing so, we hope that those we serve can sense our genuine care and see the difference it makes during a profoundly vulnerable time.
We also envision a world where hospice care is recognized as a vital and empowering resource for those facing life-limiting illnesses. Through community outreach, partnership with healthcare organizations, and educational initiatives, we aim to bring hospice care to the forefront of people’s minds so they can access it at the right time and in the right way.
Our Philosophy of Care
We believe in taking every opportunity to serve others with a spirit of Christ-like love. This faith-centered perspective drives us to approach hospice care with humility, kindness, and a deep sense of purpose. We attribute all success to God’s grace, which gives us the energy and compassion needed to fulfill our calling. In every moment we spend with a patient, we aim to reflect these core values of love, service, and sacrifice.
We also champion the notion of living life to the fullest right up to the final moment. End-of-life care should not be about giving up but about providing comprehensive support that allows individuals to maintain the highest quality of life possible. This perspective informs our approach and ensures that our services
remain hopeful, uplifting, and life-affirming.
Services Tailored to Your Needs
We are proud to offer a range of hospice services that can be adapted to meet each patient’s unique circumstances. Whether someone requires daily nursing visits, spiritual counseling, or more specialized options like physical therapy, we make certain each element of care fits seamlessly into the overall plan.
How We Involve the Family
We firmly believe that family members are a central part of the care team. With proper guidance, education, and emotional support, families can become confident caregivers and advocates for their loved ones. We provide training on medication administration, symptom monitoring, and other day-to-day tasks, ensuring family members are well-equipped and supported.
We also respect the emotional toll that this journey can take on loved ones. Our social workers and chaplains extend their support to all family members, offering a safe space to process feelings of grief, stress, and even hope. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose, which can bring solace during a challenging time.
How We Make a Difference
Choosing Grace and Glory Hospice means choosing a team that genuinely cares. From the moment we receive a referral, we pledge to respond swiftly and effectively. We conduct thorough assessments, collaborate with the patient’s attending physician, and put together a plan of care that reflects the patient’s goals and wishes.
With Medicare, Medi-Cal, and most private insurance coverage, our services are often provided at no direct cost to the patient or family. We also help families navigate the often confusing realm of insurance benefits, ensuring they can focus on what truly matters: the comfort and well-being of their loved one.
Our Team
Our staff consists of hospice nurses, social workers, chaplains, volunteers, therapists, and an on-site Hospice Medical Director. This multidisciplinary group is carefully coordinated to provide wraparound care. Each member brings a unique skill set, yet we all share a core philosophy: the patient’s comfort, dignity, and choices guide everything we do.
Professional Development
We are committed to continuous growth, both as individuals and as a collective. Through ongoing education, internal training, and quality assurance initiatives, we remain aligned with the latest best practices in hospice and palliative care. This dedication to learning manifests in our day-to-day actions and the innovative ways we address the many challenges of end-of-life care.
