hospice aide
End-of-life helper
A hospice aide is a caregiver who provides personal care to terminally ill patients receiving end-of-life care, typically in the patient's home or a hospice facility.
Duties include bathing, dressing, feeding, and offering comfort—the intimate physical care that helps patients maintain dignity during their final days.
Hospice aides work under the supervision of nurses and are part of a broader palliative care team.
