CNA for Hospice
$19 an hour (M-F, Flexible Schedule)
We are locally owned and growing to be one of the most recognized names for quality senior care in Central Texas. We are seeking a Hospice CNA (PRN) to provide care for clients in their place of residence.
Why We Are Different
In everything that we do, we strive to make the lives of seniors in Central Texas and the lives of our employees more fulfilling. Our mission is simply to provide the highest quality, personalized care to seniors and their families.
Our founder Jennifer Prescott, RN, MSN, CDP spent many years as a hospice nurse and as well as leading healthcare agencies. During this time she recognized gaps in care for seniors that chose to stay in their homes. Once care needs grew beyond basic companion care, seniors and their families too often were assigned caregivers that were unprepared. There clearly was a need for higher quality private care and the skilled management of that care. It was this unfulfilled need and Jennifer’s relentless passion that became the early roots of Blue Water. We recently celebrated our 5 year anniversary and added Blue Water Hospice in 2021.
We strive and pride ourselves on being different than our competitors. And we believe this difference starts with our employees. That is why we believe so strongly in supporting employees with a stellar management team that has 100+ years of geriatric care experience and is staffed by RN’s that are on call 24×7.
It is no wonder that we were Hill Country News “Best of the Best” in 2020, and 2021, and Best of Senior Resource Guide 2021, and Austin American Statesman Readers Choice 2022!
