Hospice Aide PRN

At Choice Hospice , our Hospice Aides are the reason patients stay comfortable, safe, and treated with dignity at home. You're not "helping with care"-you are the care.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Hands-on care that truly changes a patient's day (bathing, grooming, comfort care, etc.)
• Helping patients move safely and stay as independent as possible
• Noticing changes and speaking up-because you are their eyes and ears
• Keeping patients clean, safe, and comfortable in their own home
• Supporting nutrition and hydration when it matters most
• Working closely with an RN team that actually listens to you
• Treating every home like it matters-because it does

What we need from you:

• Compassion that can't be faked
• Reliability (patients count on you showing up)
• Respect for patients, families, and their space
• Willingness to be part of a real care team-not just "tasks"
