Job Description
Bon Secours Community Hospice House is the Richmond metropolitan area’s only freestanding hospice facility, the Community Hospice House is a place where patients receive 24/7 hospital-level care in a homelike environment. The Community Hospice House initiative is grounded in Bon Secours’ deep commitment to a full continuum of care, a founding element of the Sisters’ ministry, which began in 1824 when the first Sisters of Bon Secours left the confines of their convent and hospital to care for the dying in their homes – an unusual practice at the time.
Located on the Southside of Richmond near the intersection of Robious and Old Bon Air roads, the Community Hospice House staff delivers full-time, personalized care with the kind of compassion that you would expect, because here, patients are family.
