Care That Shows Up When Families Need It Most

Some of the most meaningful moments in hospice care happen in the quiet hours of the afternoon and evening—when families need reassurance, symptoms need attention, and comfort matters most.

As an Evening Hospice Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at Elara Caring, you’ll serve as a trusted clinical presence for patients receiving hospice services at home. This role is designed for nurses who value connection, consistency, and purpose-driven care—without overnight shifts or weekend rotations.

The Role at a Glance

In this field-based position, you’ll partner closely with Registered Nurses and the interdisciplinary hospice team to deliver hands-on nursing care that supports comfort, safety, and dignity. You’ll be a key link between patients, families, and the broader care team during evening hours.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What We’re Looking For

• Graduation from an accredited practical nursing program

• Active LPN license in the state of practice

• At least one year of hands-on clinical nursing experience
  (Hospice, palliative, or home-based care experience is a plus)

• Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field

• Clear, empathetic communication skills

• Organized, dependable, and able to manage time efficiently

• Willingness to travel within the service area (up to 50%)

• Reliable transportation and ability to meet agency health and screening standards

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why Nurses Choose Elara Caring

• Stable weekday evening schedule—no overnight shifts

• Supportive leadership and strong clinical guidance

• Thorough onboarding with continued education opportunities

• Competitive pay and benefits for full-time team members

• Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and paid time off

• Career pathways within a respected national hospice organization
