About The Position

As an LPN with the VITAS Intensive Comfort Care® (ICC) service, you will step in to provide one-to-one crisis care for hospice patients whose health challenges require high-intensity, highly engaged clinical supervision for a short period of time. Your compassionate, responsive care will elevate your patients’ quality of life and take caregiving pressures off their loved ones’ shoulders. You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients wherever they call home, whether that means a private residence or an assisted living/skilled nursing facility. You will work in shifts of eight to 12 hours, helping patients remain in a comfortable, familiar setting while receiving palliative treatment. Every day is different, and every minute counts. Once a week, you’ll visit the local program office to meet with an interdisciplinary team, including social workers, physicians, chaplains, and nurses, who collaborate to provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.
