Be There When It Matters Most

At Transitions Hospice, we don't just manage care — we protect dignity, comfort, and the moments that matter most. We've reimagined hospice to be something different: compassionate, unhurried, and built around the whole person. That means someone is always present — through the quiet hours of the night — so patients feel safe, families can rest, and no one faces the darkness alone.

If you're a CNA who understands that nighttime presence is its own kind of care, this is your role.

What You'll Do

As a Companion Aide CNA on the night shift, you'll be a steady, compassionate presence at the bedside — monitoring patient safety, providing personal care, and giving families the peace of mind that someone is watching over their loved one through the night. Your shift includes:

Overnight Patient Care & Safety

• Providing continuous bedside presence and patient supervision throughout the overnight shift to ensure safety and comfort


• Monitoring patient condition, behavior, and environment — and promptly reporting any significant changes to the on-call nurse


• Preventing falls, elopement, or self-harm through attentive observation and appropriate intervention within CNA scope of practice


• Responding promptly to patient requests and ensuring a calm, restful overnight environment


• Assisting with personal care including repositioning, toileting, bathing, hygiene, and dressing as assigned


• Providing proper skin care and observation to prevent tissue breakdown during prolonged periods of rest


• Supporting normal range of motion and repositioning to maintain patient comfort and skin integrity

Observation & Documentation

• Observing and documenting patient condition, sleep patterns, behaviors, and notable changes throughout the shift


• Taking and recording vital signs — temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure, and weights — when ordered and within demonstrated competency


• Reporting significant changes in patient condition to the RN or on-call supervisor promptly and without delay


• Adhering to the organization's documentation standards and professional conduct expectations

Family Support & Communication

• Providing families and caregivers with reassurance and overnight respite support


• Maintaining respectful, ethical communication with patients and families, including strict confidentiality


• Demonstrating comfort and compassion in providing specialized care to terminally ill patients and their families

Safety & Equipment

• Using patient equipment safely and appropriately — including foot stools, side rails, and oxygen


• Assisting with ambulation, exercise, and range of motion as directed by the hospice nurse or therapist


• Participating in quality assessment and performance improvement activities

Benefits We Offer

• Competitive pay


• Medical / Dental / Vision Insurance plans


• Long & Short-Term Disability


• 401(k) with company match


• Auto Allowance & Gas Card


• Company provided equipment


• Paid Time Off
