Home Health Aide

Home Health AideSometimes the best healthcare is offered right in the patient's home. In those cases, the home health or hospice aide becomes more than just a nurse. They become a patient's lifeline, confidant and friend. Our Franciscan Home Health Aides go beyond taking vital signs and administering medicine. They also provide personal hygiene assistance, help with small things around the house, pray with our patients, and prepare light meals or snacks – all while accurately assessing the patient's status and communicating it back to the supervising clinician.What You Can ExpectMonday to Friday- 8am to 5pmRequired: Active CNA or HHA License with the State of Indiana.Assist patients with care and activities of daily living, as directed in the established Plan of CareComplete necessary documentation of care provided.Records intake, output, and vital signs as directed and communicates care, as appropriate.Provide assistance with personal hygiene and elimination needs, according to the established plan of care.Assist patients with ambulation and transfer using proper body mechanics.Communicate any change in condition or lack of patient progress.Schedule visits with the patient or caregiver.QualificationsHigh School Diploma/GED - RequiredCertified Nursing Assistant (CNA) OR Home Health Aide (HHA- State Licensing Boart- RequiredCardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)- American Heart Association - Upon Hire- RequiredAuto Insurance - Upon Hire- RequiredDriver's License - Upon Hire- Required1 year Home Healthcare Experience - Preferred1 year Long Term Care Setting Experience - PreferredTravel is required: Up to 75%Equal Opportunity EmployerIt is the policy of Franciscan Alliance to provide equal employment to its employees and qualified applicants for employment as otherwise required by an applicable local, state or Federal law.
