Haven Hospice

I truly enjoyed my time working for Haven for a number of reasons. (1) If you like autonomy, this is the place for you. Pretty much make your own schedules, there is little micromanaging, just get your work done and go home. (2) you meet some great patients and families. (3) hospice allows you to have your own spiritual and emotional growth. (4) good paid time off. 
(5) great coworkers, everyone so easy to get along with and very little drama or anything of the sort. Very collaborative. 

cons: You are alone the whole day driving, not any time to socialize really or get to know coworkers, it is sad and there isn’t always a ton of support just due to being alone through the day. Another con is all the driving if you do not live in the county you work in. I was easily putting over 500 miles a week on my car, however, they do compensate .52 per mile. Another thing is that you will be expected to carry a VERY high caseload and meet many medicare criteria. 


With all this being said, it is the best job I have had thus far. After working in such fast paced hospital environments, I look back and this really was a breeze and it was rewarding and enjoyable. I did not wake up in the morning dreading work, and I didn’t count down the days until Friday. I would suggest to a friend.

Working at Haven Hospice has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The organization truly empowers you to put patients and their families first, ensuring that compassionate, personalized care remains at the heart of everything we do.

Haven fosters a supportive environment that encourages staff to go the extra mile—not just for those under our care, but for the wider community as well. They are open to new ideas and innovative programs, creating space for growth, collaboration, and meaningful contributions.

Their Develop and Distinguish plan provides clear opportunities for professional growth and development. Leadership genuinely listens to employee feedback and offers constructive guidance, making the workplace feel more like a team effort than just a job.

What sets Haven apart is their consistent support for their teams. This backing allows us to continue delivering high-level care and essential services to those who need it most. I'm proud to be part of an organization that not only prioritizes excellence in care,but also invests in its people.


Caring for patients with a terminal diagnosis and their families. Giving emotional support as well as nursing care. The Bright Springs community is a health care community striving to provide a patient with the highest quality of life and comfort. The culture of the care center is very diverse and includes many cultures, religions, and ages. Priding care for the family is a priority at Hospice. People are able to relax and know their loved one is in good hands and the family and their needs are being respected. The patient’s needs are met on an individual basis. Symptom management is monitored and met at least hourly. Bathing is completed in the personal showers in the patient’s bathroom or in the bed. Bathing is completed at least every other day. Meals are prepared on sight and are offered to family members who do not want to leave their loved ones bedside. Snack baskets are brought to rooms to help family members with nutritional needs throughout the day. 

A typical day at work consists of visiting clients at their place if residence to help provide personal care. Working so intimately with people coming close to end of life has taught me how important it is to cherish each day, your family, your health as well as acknowledging the importance of allowing people to end their journey with care and dignity. The workplace culture is very collaborative and the management is very present,  and encouraging allowing for the necessary support to make our day flow smoothly. The hardest part of the job honestly is when traffic is bad/accidents etc.. making it difficult to keep requested visit times by the patients and their families but his goes hand in hand with the best part of the job which is  forming trusting  relationships with families allowing reciprocal clear and open communication with one another. 

Working as an LPN at Haven Hospice care center has been incredibly rewarding. A typical day involves providing companionate, patient centered care while supporting both patient and their families during the most difficult time of their lives. I continue to gain clinical experience daily on comfort-focused care. Management is very supportive and approachable at all times. The workplace culture is caring, respectful, and team oriented with the same goal in mind, quality end of life care. The hardest part of the job is the emotional aspect of losing patients, but the most enjoyable part is knowing you made a difference and helped bring comfort and dignity when it mattered most to the patient and their families. i genuinely love my job and feel proud to work for Haven Hospice. 

A regular day at my job involves maintaining organization, assisting my colleagues, and handling tasks that ensure everything operates smoothly. I've developed enhanced communication abilities, improved time management skills, and learned to quickly adapt to new obstacles. Management is typically very supportive and offers guidance whenever necessary. The culture in the workplace promotes teamwork, respect, and collaboration among employees. The most challenging aspect of the role can be juggling multiple tasks during peak periods, but the most rewarding part is collaborating with wonderful coworkers and feeling that my contributions have a positive impact.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Knowing that what I do make an impact.  Whether it's helping families and patients, or improving processes, it feels meaningful. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Juggling multiple tasks at once and meeting those important deadlines.

It’s a fast-paced environment.  Everyone is motivated and works toward common goals, and that creates a sense of energy and teamwork.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Most days are pretty fast-paced. I start by prioritizing tasks, then move between different responsibilities depending on what’s most urgent.

I spent countless hours coordinating services between medical staff,  patients and their families. I educated the patients/families about their disease and options while providing both in-home and hospital nursing care. The most difficult part of my job was being present when patients expired. The families usually wanted me to be there as a source of support for them. I learned that having Hospice does not mean that you are "giving up on life". It is one of the best forms of palliative care.

I was frequently on-call and the long hours made it difficult to spend time with my family.

Hospice nursing is a true calling, and a very rewarding career. It's been a blessing to work alongside such amazing healthcare professionals, and I feel like I am constantly learning and growing even after 3 years working at Haven. I feel like I am truly making a difference during every shift. I couldn't ask for a better clinical supervisor, and I have lasting friendships with my coworkers. It's been such an honor to care for my amazing patients and their families.
