Job overview

  • In my three years as a hospice care giver, I provided care for three different clients, each for about a year.
  • This was primarily a part-time position, but as each client's needs inevitably changed, I moved into a full-time position
  • I worked as a private contractor with an RN who provided medical services.
  • My role was to provide comfort and companionship to clients in their last year of life, as well as to assist where legally allowed with medical care.
  • Some of the services I provided were to communicate with family members about the progress of the client's condition and mental status, cleaning, sanitizing, and organizing the home in a way that was most functional for the client, turned and repositioned bed ridden clients, observing and recording client responses, reactions, and changes to medications, collaborating with other professionals to evaluate client's medical and physical condition and to assess client needs, and applying clean dressings to wounds and medical devices (colostomy bag, implanted port, etc)

  • I was responsible for being present with each client to provide comfort and support during their last moments of life, as well as to contact their families afterward or in some cases provide emotional support for families during the transition in cases where they were present.
