More about Ascend Hospice & Palliative Care PA
Days run Monday–Friday 8AM–5:30PM: you complete initial and re-evaluations, build care plans, offer end-of-life counseling, carry out palliative procedures, talk with physicians, and supervise hospice aides. You also help the team with on-call, coverage, and call-outs, and you need a valid license, a reliable car, and comfort traveling between visits—with mileage reimbursement. A Patient Care Manager role sits above the floor work, giving day-to-day supervision of the interdisciplinary team, RNs, LPNs, and on-call staff, plus case conferencing, admissions liaison work, and audits. The employer states opportunities to advance, and that manager is the person who mentors and orients new hires. Posted benefits include healthcare coverage, 401(k), PTO, and mileage; a $5,000 sign-on bonus has been listed for the Hospice RN Case Manager role in York/Lancaster. Requirements are an ADN, a state RN license, and two years of professional nursing experience, with hospice preferred. York itself runs about 4% below the national cost of living, with most commutes in the low-20-minute range and I-83 linking you to Harrisburg and Baltimore. One clear soft spot: a Glassdoor listing shows Ascend Health at a 2.5 company rating alongside a York-area posting, so you will want to weigh that when you talk with the team.
