Certified Nurse Aide Hospice PRN - FALCON HEALTHCARE

Interim Healthcare is a leading Regional Provider of Hospice Services based in Texas. Our company has grown to over 35 offices in Texas and New Mexico. 

At Interim Healthcare, the relationships we have with each other and our patients are the foundation of the strong culture we have built. 

We believe in placing the patient's interests at the heart of everything we do and that’s what makes our job so rewarding. 

We understand that part of being a great Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) is spending the time to genuinely understand the patient’s story. Knowing where the patient is coming from helps us determine what they need to feel comfortable, safe, and healthy in their own home. As one of our nurses put it, “it’s an honor to be in someone’s home taking care of them.” 

At Interim, Nurses don’t feel the pressure to just move through the patients, instead, nurses are empowered to invest their time in helping patients live in their homes with dignity, respect, and confidence.
