That’s the part that stings most. The referrals are coming in the door, and you’re declining them because there’s no clinician to send. That’s growth walking out the door, and it shows up straight in your census. The pressure is only building. About 40% of RNs and LPNs say they plan to leave the workforce or retire within five years, and replacing a single RN runs around $61,000. Add the latest PDGM and LUPA rules and an understaffed schedule turns into a reimbursement and compliance risk on top of a census problem.
Home health and hospice hiring is fiercely competitive, and in some states anyone can start a home health or hospice company, which only widens the field. When you post for an RN, a social worker, a director of nursing, or an assistant director of nursing, plenty of people apply. The catch is that most of them don’t have the home health or hospice experience the role actually requires. Home health agencies post their openings needing OASIS-trained nurses, and the applications that come in are from nurses who’ve never touched OASIS.
That’s where we come in. We find the nurses who are well trained on OASIS and can hit the ground running, seeing patients from the start. On the hospice side, we work with nurses who carry real hospice experience and a genuine passion for the work, because hospice asks for something different. The care is comfort-focused. Bedside manner is everything. You’re there for people at the end of life, and getting the right person into that role is how a family gets good care on the way out.
Justin cut his teeth on home health and hospice, Medicare home health specifically, so this space is personal for us. Between them, Justin and Gary have personally filled hundreds of hospice roles and helped organizations grow and thrive in new state territories. A lot of nurses assume home health is the cushy option, just driving to patients’ houses in their own car. It’s actually a highly skilled job, and the care looks nothing like a hospital floor. We recruit for it accordingly. We work with organizations across the country, with deep roots in Florida and a strong presence in the Metro Atlanta area, where we’ve run job fairs on the ground for hospice hiring.

Home Health and Hospice FAQs
Why is it so hard to hire home health nurses?
The applicants are there. The OASIS-trained applicants often aren’t. Home health also asks nurses to weigh territory size, patient load, documentation, mileage, and schedule, and if those details are unclear or uncompetitive, the qualified ones don’t engage. We recruit for the OASIS experience specifically and answer the rest before the candidate has to ask.
Why are hospice nurses so difficult to recruit?
Hospice takes clinical skill, emotional resilience, and real mission alignment, all at once. Candidates weigh caseload, call rotation, territory, and team support carefully, because the work is demanding. We recruit nurses who already have hospice experience and genuinely want to do this work, so the fit holds.
What home health and hospice roles does Titan recruit for?
Home health and hospice RNs, RN case managers, clinical managers, directors of nursing, administrators, executive directors, sales and marketing leaders, and other operational leadership. If a home-based care organization hires for it, we’ve filled it.
Can you help with a leadership search, like a Director of Nursing?
Yes. Leadership roles almost always require direct outreach, because experienced directors and administrators rarely apply to postings. We go find them, which is how these searches get filled instead of lingering.
