Job description
Transitions Hospice Night Shift Companion Aide CNA
Coverage Territory: Columbus and surrounding areas
Schedule: M-F 10p to 6a
Salary Range: $19.00 - $21.00 an hour
Be There When It Matters Most
At Transitions Hospice, we don't just manage care — we protect dignity, comfort, and the moments that matter most. We've reimagined hospice to be something different: compassionate, unhurried, and built around the whole person. That means someone is always present — through the quiet hours of the night — so patients feel safe, families can rest, and no one faces the darkness alone.
If you're a CNA who understands that nighttime presence is its own kind of care, this is your role.
What You'll Do
As a Companion Aide CNA on the night shift, you'll be a steady, compassionate presence at the bedside — monitoring patient safety, providing personal care, and giving families the peace of mind that someone is watching over their loved one through the night. Your shift includes:
Overnight Patient Care & Safety
Providing continuous bedside presence and patient supervision throughout the overnight shift to ensure safety and comfort
Monitoring patient condition, behavior, and environment — and promptly reporting any significant changes to the on-call nurse
Preventing falls, elopement, or self-harm through attentive observation and appropriate intervention within CNA scope of practice
Responding promptly to patient requests and ensuring a calm, restful overnight environment
Assisting with personal care including repositioning, toileting, bathing, hygiene, and dressing as assigned
Providing proper skin care and observation to prevent tissue breakdown during prolonged periods of rest
Supporting normal range of motion and repositioning to maintain patient comfort and skin integrity
Observation & Documentation
Observing and documenting patient condition, sleep patterns, behaviors, and notable changes throughout the shift
Taking and recording vital signs — temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure, and weights — when ordered and within demonstrated competency
Reporting significant changes in patient condition to the RN or on-call supervisor promptly and without delay
Adhering to the organization's documentation standards and professional conduct expectations
Family Support & Communication
Providing families and caregivers with reassurance and overnight respite support
Maintaining respectful, ethical communication with patients and families, including strict confidentiality
Demonstrating comfort and compassion in providing specialized care to terminally ill patients and their families
Safety & Equipment
Using patient equipment safely and appropriately — including foot stools, side rails, and oxygen
Assisting with ambulation, exercise, and range of motion as directed by the hospice nurse or therapist
Participating in quality assessment and performance improvement activities
Benefits We Offer

Medical / Dental / Vision Insurance plans
Long & Short-Term Disability
401(k) with company match
