About the Organization

At Active Health & Hospice, our mission is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients and their families during critical life transitions. We believe that every individual deserves a dignified end-of-life experience, and our team is committed to ensuring that patients receive not only exemplary medical care but also emotional and psychological support. Located in San Antonio, Texas, we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive environment where every team member is valued.

Work Environment

Our digital tools facilitate seamless communication and collaboration with other healthcare professionals and team members, ensuring that quality care is always within reach. As a member of our hospice center, you will have access to ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance your skills in providing emotional and psychological support to patients and their families.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough mental health assessments, including psychosocial evaluations and risk assessments, to understand each patient's unique situation.
• Collaborate closely with patients to create customized treatment plans that take into account their individual needs, goals, and cultural backgrounds.
• Implement evidence-based therapeutic interventions in various formats, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), tailored to the patient's circumstances.
• Provide timely crisis intervention services to patients experiencing acute distress, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams to maintain continuity of care.
• Maintain comprehensive clinical documentation, including progress notes and treatment plans, to ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines and clinic policies.
• Offer psychoeducation to patients and their families, equipping them with skills and knowledge to manage their mental health conditions.

• Stay updated on the latest research and best practices in mental health to enhance clinical practice and patient care.
• Adhere strictly to ethical guidelines and maintain patient confidentiality in all communications.
