Lavender Hour CNA-Part Time

About the Role

As a Lavender Hour Aide (CNA), you’ll provide compassionate, hands-on hospice care during the late afternoon and evening, typically 4:00 PM–9:00 PM, when patients and families may need an extra level of comfort, care, and reassurance.

The evening hours can be especially challenging as patients may become more tired, restless, or uncomfortable, while caregivers may need additional support. You’ll help patients with personal care, prepare them for the evening and bedtime, promote comfort and dignity, and provide a calm, reassuring presence for patients and their loved ones.

You’ll also observe and communicate changes in a patient’s condition to the hospice team, helping ensure concerns are addressed early and families feel supported.

It’s more than a visit—it’s an opportunity to bring comfort, calm, and dignity to the end of the day.
