If on hospice are you allowed to hire private aides?

Many hospices simply don't have the resources to provide more than a couple of hours a few times a week. It is also possible that your hospice may be able to provide a list of people they have worked with in the past and found satisfactory.They will not actually recommend anyone just give you the list and as said it is private pay.

Not only what GSA and Glad wrote, but I was encouraged (very strongly!) by hospice reps with whom I spoke to do just that - hire private duty people. Their attitude was somewhat of the "not MY job" approach I'd seen once or twice during my working career.

As guest said, private caregiver would be private pay.

Yes, but hospice and Medicaid won’t pay for it. Family or patient will have to pay
