Hospice aides are healthcare professionals who provide personal care assistance in a hospice care setting.
With the supervision of a registered nurse, a hospice aide caters to personal care, such as bathing and transferring. An aide is also a compassionate person who gives comfort care to individuals with terminal illnesses. At Elite Hospice of Texas, we ensure that our hospice aides are qualified care providers who can meet the standard of quality hospice care.

- Changing Bed Linens

- Bedside Visits (listening, writing letters, reading)
