Make a Difference When It Matters Most

Some jobs are about completing a task list. Hospice care is about people.

Hillcrest Hospice Care is looking for a compassionate and dependable Hospice Assistant (CNA) who wants to provide comfort, dignity, and meaningful support to patients and their families during one of life’s most important stages.

As a Hospice Assistant, you’ll provide one‑on‑one personal care to patients in their homes and care communities. You’ll work alongside our nurses and interdisciplinary hospice team to help patients remain comfortable, safe, and cared for while providing families with reassurance and support.

At Hillcrest, our mission is Inspiring people to live their best lives. In hospice, that means honoring each patient’s wishes, protecting their dignity, and making every interaction count.

What You’ll Do

As a Hospice Assistant, you’ll provide individualized care based on each patient’s plan of care. Most importantly, you’ll bring a calm, caring, and reassuring presence to patients and families when they need it most.

What Makes You a Great Fit

Those moments matter.

At Hillcrest Hospice Care, you’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships while being supported by an interdisciplinary team that shares the same goal: providing compassionate, patient‑centered care.
