DESCRIPTION
Job Title: Caregiver
Heart of Mary House provides a home and loving, dignified care, to those in need through compassionate end-of-life care, when dying at home is not an option. Learn more at www.heartofmaryhouse.org.
The Caregiver serves a supportive role, acting as an advocate for the resident/family/caregiver. The position of Caregiver provides personal care, delivery of medication in accordance with the hospice plan of care, along with emotional and spiritual care for the resident and their circle. This is done while following all organizational and program policies and procedures and maintaining the values of Catholic Social Teachings.
No licensing or certification necessary. On the job training provided.
Heart of Mary House provides a home complete with dignified and loving 24/7 care. This is done by caregiver staff members and numerous volunteers, who provide assistance with personal care and other duties as needed within the house, such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, music therapy, praying, and more. Our residents are able to spend their final hours, days, or weeks at Heart of Mary House, where they will find comfort and peace, and where they will be able to safely live out the final phases of their life’s journey. They are consoled, fed, bathed, and loved, which is all made possible through the generosity of donations. All of the care and support they receive is provided at no cost to the resident or their family. This fills a critical gap in the services that are not covered by medical hospice, Medicare or private insurance.
Heart of Mary House provides short-term, end-of- life care to people with a prognosis of three months or less. There is a preferential option to treat the dying poor. People of all faith beliefs and those who have no faith at all are served equally in the home. Each resident is under the medical care of hospice. They are able to utilize a hospice provider of their choice. The hospice services are not duplicated in the home. Their medical care is directed by the hospice medical director and they are cared for by a hospice nurse, social worker, home health aid and chaplain. We advocate for our residents and accompany them through the hospice process.
The services provided at the house are meant to be a resource for the entire community.
