As a hospice physician, I had pretty high expectations when looking for an inpatient hospice for my mother. Bruns House exceeded them all. The facility is very well staffed with skilled RN's, social workers, aides, and front office, but they aren't just skilled, they have a heart for what they do. During the weeks that my mother was in their care, they helped with some difficult social issues as well as her prolonged transitional stage. If you have a loved one needing care, look no further.
I just wanted to say what a pleasure the burns house was to deal with. My mother was transferred there from a local Kaiser that made no bones that they needed the room back. My mother was put on comfort care and was treated with such compassion and warmth that I was amazed by the level of personal care. She was there almost exactly 24 hours before she passed. The nurse there gave our family time to grieve and watch over her. They offer help whenever possible. I just wanted to say thank you for everything that did in such a short amount of time.
Peaceful, beautiful, and full of love from the entire staff
If you are going to lose a loved one and want them to be comfortable and tended to like they are family, this is the place. My mother passed here after four days. Those four days with her, even though she was not totally conscious were priceless to me and my family. The place is beautiful with a rose garden, fireplaces, comfortable furniture and room for family and friends. I just explained today to a friend that Bruns House is much better than bringing your loved one home. The patient and family will be much more secure in knowing their will be minimal to no suffering and their lives one is safe and sound. The people that work and volunteer there are earth angels and will be as helpful and involved as you'd like them to be. They offer different kinds of support but it is never pushy or thrust upon you. You don't have to even speak to anyone if you wish.
I wish everyone could have the soft transition of passing like my mother did. For such a horrible loss to have been so peaceful, I am foe we grateful.
