• Observing patients and reporting changes to the care team accurately and in a timely manner
• Communicating with patients and families in a positive, ethical, and confidential manner
• Maintaining thorough documentation in line with organizational standards
• Upholding the hospice philosophy with professionalism and genuine compassion
