Job Description
Sometimes the best healthcare is offered right in the patient’s home. In those cases, the home health or hospice aide becomes more than just a nurse. They become a patient’s lifeline, confidant and friend. Our Franciscan Home Health Aides go beyond taking vital signs and administering medicine. They also provide personal hygiene assistance, help with small things around the house, pray with our patients, and prepare light meals or snacks – all while accurately assessing the patient’s status and communicating it back to the supervising clinician.
