HOSPICE AIDE

The Homestead Hospice Aides provide personal care to patients in their homes under the general direction of registered nurse. This care can be given in the patient's own home or provided in other facilities, such as personal care homes, assisted living facilities or skilled nursing homes. Many times, the hospice aide spends the most direct patient care time with the patient and the family and can contribute very beneficial information to the team during the development and update of the patient plan of care.

Roles and responsibilities of the Hospice Aide

Our certified nursing aides perform several tasks. These may include, bathing, dressing grooming, wound care, light housekeeping, etc., based on individual needs and the written instructions of the registered nurse.

At Homestead Hospice, we recognize the positive impact that having a hospice aide can provide. We proactively look for reasons why a patient might need the extra care of our hospice aides so that we can be of assistance as often as possible, based on those needs.
