Hospice CNA

The Hospice Certified Nursing Assistant offers various services to hospice patients and their families, mostly with or under the supervision of a registered nurse or physician. CNA care is usually provided in the home of the patient in order to supplement the care that the individual is already receiving from caregivers and family members. 

As members of the hospice care team, LifeChoice CNAs provide physical assistance with acts of daily living and emotional support for both the patient and their loved ones. These angels ensure that the ones they care for remain as independent as their limits allow. An individual’s dignity is the most important consideration.

Why Are Hospice CNA Services Important?

Hospice CNAs play a very important role in the comfort and quality of life of a patient during their terminal stages. It is their tender presence that provides practical support, such as bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance, which comforts and makes the patients feel dignified. Their presence offers emotional support, fostering companionship and reassurance.

It lessens the caregiving burden of the families by having a trained professional to help with daily needs. CNAs assure loved ones get to spend quality time with the patient, rather than wear out from the tiring demands of caregiving. Expertise and compassion go hand in hand in the enabling environment necessary for both the patient and his family to face through this really trying period.

What does a CNA do at LifeChoice?

The Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) can easily be labeled as the unsung hero of hospice care. Their role as part of the hospice or palliative care team is crucial. Certified nursing assistants are the hospice team’s eyes, ears, and hands. Because they have significant personal contact with patients, they document and communicate physical and emotional needs to the team. Under the supervision of the RN (registered nurse), the CNA and home health care providers provide daily care to improve the daily lives, well-being, and dignity of our older people, which includes basic tasks such as:

• Feeding the patient
• Assisting patient with grooming and using the toilet
• Bathing the patient
• Turning the bed-bound patient
• Changing the patient’s linens
• Keeping the patient’s living space clean
• Assisting with the set up of medical equipment
• Stocking medical supplies

Certified Nursing Assistants Provide Constant Comfort & Care

LifeChoice CNA is responsible for so many small, yet significant care activities. Our CNAs are immersed in the individual’s needs. 

A CNA’s work focuses on one concept: comfort. There are no two people who require the same care, so our registered nurse creates a care plan based on an individual’s specific needs in order to ensure that each person they care for is as comfortable as possible. Our CNA is responsible for implementing this plan and ensuring that all personal care issues are met.

Another important role for CNAs is to monitor any changes in a patient’s appearance. Without thorough, diligent attention, this would be impossible. LifeChoice CNA is always aware of what is happening to their patients. They regularly inform RN and staff about shifts or changes that are observed during their close interactions with those they care for , and they are often the first to know if there is a problem.

Story of Mrs. Thompson

When mom was in hospice, we were really overwhelmed with what she needed. LifeChoice’s CNA, Sarah, just became part of the family. She assisted with daily tasks but, more so, brought calmness to the home. She always made sure mom was comfortable and would even sit and talk with her-bringing emotional support when we could not be there. Sarah’s care gave us peace of mind, knowing Mom was in such capable, compassionate hands.

Story of the Martinez Family

We never knew how hard caregiving was when our father went into hospice. John was a lifesaver, this CNA from LifeChoice, as he not only attended to his physical needs-bathing and feeding-but also provided a very peaceful, comforting atmosphere. Everything was explained to us, and it seemed that we were almost part of what was going on, not just an outsider looking in. Thanks to LifeChoice, we were able to focus on spending quality time with Dad during his final days, knowing he was well cared for.
