Hospice Comfort Specialist- STNA

Job Title: STNA – Hospice Comfort Specialist The Goal: To turn "patient care" into "person-centered honoring." Job Summary We are seeking dependable, professional, and detail-oriented State Tested Nursing Assistant to join our elite team of end-of-life specialists. In hospice, we don't just treat symptoms; we protect the dignity of our patients.

As an STNA here, you are the heartbeat of our care team, providing the compassionate touch that enhances a patient’s quality of life when it matters most.

Your Responsibilities

Provide high-quality daily nursing care that follows each resident’s unique care plan. You’ll ensure that "facility policies" feel like "family standards." Daily Dignity: Assist residents with all activities of daily living (ADLs)—including ambulating, transferring, bathing, dressing, and eating—with a focus on patience and comfort rather than speed.

The Digital Paper Trail: Maintain accurate and timely electronic documentation. Your notes are the roadmap that helps the rest of the clinical team provide seamless care. Lifelong Learning: Participate in scheduled trainings and in-services. We don't just want you to maintain your certification; we want to help you become an expert in the delicate field of palliative care.

The Collaborative Core: Work side-by-side with physicians, nurses, and social workers. In our world, the STNA often knows the patient best—your voice is vital to the team. Person-Centered Communication: Provide "real-time" updates to the team. You are the bridge between the patient’s needs and the development of a care plan that honors their final wishes.

Compliance with Heart: Maintain a strong understanding of long-term care federal and state regulations, ensuring our high standards of safety are always met. What You Bring to the Bedside A valid Ohio STNA License in good standing. The ability to remain calm and compassionate in emotionally heavy environments. A "detail-oriented" eye—you notice the small things (like a favorite lotion or a specific way a pillow is turned) that make a patient feel at home.

Reliability: Because in hospice, "tomorrow" is a gift, and our patients need you today.
