About the Role

As an Inpatient Hospice Home Health Aide, you’ll provide hands-on personal care and support to patients receiving hospice services in our facility.

You’ll work alongside nurses and other members of the hospice team to help patients remain comfortable, safe, and treated with dignity throughout their end-of-life journey.

Your compassion, presence, and attention to detail will make a difference—not only for patients, but also for their loved ones.

Provide Hospice Aide services according to each patient’s established plan of care.
Assist patients with activities of daily living (ADLs) while promoting comfort, dignity, and respect.
Provide continuous care for patients and families in the facility as needed.
Observe patients closely and immediately report changes in condition or uncontrolled symptoms to the primary nurse or Inpatient Unit Director/Coordinator.
Maintain accurate and timely records of patient and family care services.
Report suspected abuse or neglect according to agency policy.
Complete required competencies, infection-control training, and in-service education.
Assist with orientation of new Hospice Aides when requested.
Communicate changes in patient status and care needs to the hospice team.
Work collaboratively with nurses and other members of the interdisciplinary hospice team.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an HHA who understands that end-of-life care requires more than completing tasks—it requires compassion, patience, empathy, and respect.

You should have

Active New York State HHA Certification
Minimum of 12 hours of in-service education per year since receiving HHA certification within a year
Basic understanding of the hospice philosophy
At least 1 year of experience caring for terminally ill patients preferred
