At Cadre Family Companies , our mission is simple:
People First, Always.

Cadre Family Companies is a family of healthcare organizations committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care while creating an environment where our team members can thrive personally and professionally.
For this opportunity, you’ll be joining the Inspire Hospice and Palliative Care team , one of the organizations within the Cadre family.

When you join Inspire Hospice and Palliative Care, you'll become part of a collaborative team that values integrity, accountability, innovation, and kindness. You'll have the support of the broader Cadre Family Companies while making a meaningful impact within the community you serve.

If you're looking for more than just a job—if you're looking for purpose,we'd love to meet you.

As a Lavender Hour Aide (CNA) , you’ll provide compassionate, hands-on hospice care during the late afternoon and evening, typically 4:00 PM–9:00 PM , when patients and families may need an extra level of comfort, care, and reassurance.

The evening hours can be especially challenging as patients may become more tired, restless, or uncomfortable, while caregivers may need additional support. You’ll help patients with personal care, prepare them for the evening and bedtime, promote comfort and dignity, and provide a calm, reassuring presence for patients and their loved ones.

You’ll also observe and communicate changes in a patient’s condition to the hospice team, helping ensure concerns are addressed early and families feel supported.

It’s more than a visit—it’s an opportunity to bring comfort, calm, and dignity to the end of the day.
