Schedule: Monday-Friday 8am-5pm


As a member of the Bluegrass Care Navigators (BCN) Hospice Team, you will play a vital role in delivering compassionate care and support to patients and their families who have opted for comfort-focused care during their terminal illness journey.

This service enables our professionals to concentrate on one patient at a time, providing care in the comfort of the patient's residence.

At BCN, we are dedicated to fostering a workplace environment that upholds fairness, dignity, and respect for all team members. We provide opportunities for professional growth and development while working collaboratively within a team. You can contribute to making a significant impact on the lives of families we serve. Join #TeamBCN, where your contributions are valued, and your time is respected.
