Skills:

The required skills enable the CNA to deliver high-quality, compassionate care by effectively assisting with daily living activities and monitoring patient health. Strong communication skills are essential for interacting empathetically with patients and families, as well as for collaborating with the hospice care team to ensure coordinated care. Attention to detail and documentation skills are used daily to accurately record patient status and care provided, which supports clinical decision-making. Preferred skills such as familiarity with hospice care principles and electronic health records enhance the CNA’s ability to provide specialized support and maintain thorough patient records. Additionally, skills in time management and adaptability are crucial for managing visits across multiple home settings while responding to the unique needs of each patient.
