Certified Nursing Assistant – Hospice

Otterbein is a not-for-profit, faith-based ministry that is a national leader and innovator in retirement living communities and long-term care.  Otterbein is seeking a Hospice CNA/STNA, to assist in the growth of our Hospice ministry.  Otterbein Hospice compliments already strong independent senior services, outpatient capabilities and clinical facilities at Otterbein.

Hospice is a philosophy of care for those facing life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and caregivers. The focus of hospice care is to help patients experience peace, comfort, and quality of life while also offering support and services to their family and caregivers.

At Otterbein Hospice, our dedicated and compassionate team is here to help you through all stages of life’s journey. When the time comes for hospice care, our team will involve you and your loved ones in your care options, and together with you, develop a personalized plan of care. Our team includes nurses, a chaplain and social worker for your care and support. We offer the peace that comes with being cared for in your home.

At Otterbein, you’re more than an employee, you’re a Partner in Caring. Together, we work side by side toward a shared goal: delivering person-centered care that respects every resident and the choices they make.

Whether in our vibrant communities, our welcoming small house neighborhoods, Home Health, Hospice or Home Office, we provide the highest level of compassionate, quality care.

Join our team of Partners who are talented, kind, wise, funny, spirited, generous, endearing, and truly one-of-a-kind.
