Careers

Choosing a career in hospice means showing up with compassion, listening with intention, and supporting individuals and families during one of the most meaningful seasons of life.

At Foundations Hospice, we believe that care should be personal, respectful, and rooted in dignity. We are a locally owned hospice serving communities across Louisiana, and we are committed to supporting both the families we serve and the team members who make this work possible.

Why Hospice Care Is Meaningful Work

Hospice care allows professionals to focus on comfort, quality of life, and human connection. Rather than being driven by volume or procedures, hospice care centers on presence, understanding, and individualized support.

Team members often describe hospice work as deeply fulfilling. It offers the opportunity to build trust with patients and families, to listen to what matters most to them, and to provide care that honors their wishes.

While this work can be emotionally challenging, it is also profoundly meaningful. No one does this work alone, and support is an essential part of hospice care.

Foundations Hospice staff & caregivers are professional, truly compassionate, effective & instrumental in not only the services they provide while caring for your loved one, but represent honesty, faith & unconditional help, even after death of your loved one. They are the best in their field by far! We are so grateful! I have used others & will never use anyone else. Thank you!

My mother is in Foundations Hospice care now. Koko and Stephanie are amazing. Koko truly goes above by making my mother feel loved, heard and cared for with dignity. Nurse Stephanie’s soft approach and professionalism are amazing. Words truly can’t describe how thankful we are.

Where do I even begin?!? I was given 24 hours to make a decision once my mother was being early released from a skilled nursing facility. In a panic, I started googling. It was after hours, around 5:30 pm. I left a message & the owner called me back within like 90 seconds! & our entire experience thereafter has been very similar! He worked with me until almost 10 pm that night, then met with my mother & I the next day where he spent about 2-3 hours answering all of our questions, he arranged transport for her & had her equipment delivered within an hour of her arriving home! Mr Mark is an incredible soul & he does this work with such conviction & passion. He may own the company, but he is very much the boots on the ground & he is sincere & loves helping others. His energy is infectious & his heart is pure. If you say you need anything at all, they are there in a flash. Call day or night & they are there to support you. They are not only there to help care for your loved one, they are there for YOU the caretaker, just as much as the patient! They sometimes know what you need before you do! After a particularly rough morning, our nurse could tell that I was overwhelmed & feeling very defeated. She told me someone will be calling & coming by soon. She had asked the social worker to come to my house to check on ME! When I welcomed her in to meet my mother, (the patient), she said, “I will meet her. But I’m here for YOU.” We then sat down & she allowed me to express all the things I was feeling. She helped guide me through my emotions & validated my feelings. She helped me see my role more clearly & gave me the reassurance I so desperately needed. That little “therapy session” completely turned my day around & was the boost I needed to get through the day. I’m a yapper, so I could go on & on for hours about how much this company has impacted my life & my family. Caring for a loved one on hospice is hands down the hardest thing one can ever endure in my opinion. Foundation’s has been a guiding light for us, they’ve been my biggest supporter & they are always seeking ways they can help us further. To say they go above & beyond is an understatement. I don’t know much about other hospice services, this is my first & only experience with this. But I do believe God himself put Foundation’s in my path. You won’t find another service who cares as much as they do!

My mother was being bathed daily in her last months of life by Koko. Koko was so caring and gentle with her. I’ll hold that as a dear memory because it was a comfort to observe her manner. She kept maintaining Mom’s humanity and dignity as a primary task.

Momma has been with Foundations for about four months now, give or take. These folks are amazing. First off, know that hospice is not only for very end of life, I didn’t know that, they help in many other ways too. After a nasty fall and surgery and now wheelchair bound among other things she has, we decided to reach out to Mark of foundations (owner) for help and advice for momma. Love us some Mark!!!! Besides where momma lives, next best decision we made!!! So much weight off our chests knowing we have an extra set of eyes helping us take care of momma and where we can no longer easily take her to doctors and nurses, etc., they come to her. Mark and his staff, starting with Lindsey (one of his territory managers), their nurses (momma’s being Rachel and Mackena), mommas care person who comes to shower her, Tiffany, and so many more staff she sees, they are all blessings and God sends! I cannot speak highly enough of this company. Unsure? Call them they will come out and help with your decision. If I could have given above five stars I would have!!!

Foundations Hospice has an excellent and caring team who cares about your loved one, but also you. Ashley, the nurse who i could call anytime, took care of my husband , who has passed and my Dad, who is in the Nursing home. My anniversary was coming up, and she knew my husband always got me something. She brought flowers and took a picture of us. He passed 3 days later. She framed that picture and brought it to me at his funeral. I cannot tell you how she got me through the funeral, Don, the Chaplain knew when I needed someone. He was there to listen and pray with me. Sheika, the aide, was excellent. I was amazed to see her move a grown man and how she cared for him. Brad, the social worker was great. If I missed someone, it wasn't intentional. I am telling everyone about my experience with Foundations Hospice. They are the #1 place to use. You won't be disappointed.

What kind of a hospice owner would show up on a weekend (or really any day) to shave a guy, cut his hair, and make him feel worthy?? YOU, Mark! What kind of a class act would show up 100% of the time with a literal sparkle in her eye and total joy in every step?? Lindsey D! The joy, love, Kindness, and professionalism from this company is something I have NEVER seen in my LIFETIME as a therapist in a care facility of any kind! I am beyond GRATEFUL that you are caring for the lovely people I have also been fortunate enough to know. God bless you!! ❤️🙏

The Foundations Hospice team cared for our Dad and supported our family with exceptional competence and heartfelt compassion, so many times going above and beyond with their efforts for problem solving and counseling. From top down, all our questions and concerns were quickly addressed at any hour, any day of the week. Nothing about caring for a loved one in their last days is easy and we were very blessed to have made the connection with Mr. Mark and his wonderful team.
