Home Health Aide - Start This Week - We Train Free

Haven Home Care | Now Hiring in Summit County, Ohio

HOW FAST CAN YOU START?

It depends on your background. Pick the one that fits you:

Already have an STNA license (active or expired)? 1-3 days

Have an HHA certificate (30+ hours)? 5-8 days

Worked 1+ year under an RN or LPN? 5-8 days after we verify

Brand new to caregiving? 1-2 weeks (we train you free)

All four paths lead to the same job. Same clients. Same support. Just different starting points.

STNA PATH (1-3 days)

$18/hour. Your license means you already passed the state test. You skip our written and skills test. Active or expired - both work.

Steps:

1. Apply with your STNA license number

2. Phone talk (20 minutes)

3. Short online questionnaire

4. Sign your paperwork online

5. Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes)

6. Fingerprinting

HHA CERTIFICATE PATH (5-8 days)

$16-18/hour based on interview. You need an HHA certificate - 30+ hours, signed by RN (unless completed online).

Steps:

1. Apply and send your certificate

2. Phone talk (20 minutes)

3. Short online questionnaire

4. Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you)

5. Sign your paperwork online

6. Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes)

7. Fingerprinting

EXPERIENCE PATH (5-8 days after verification)

$16-18/hour based on interview. You need 1+ year at one company where your supervisor was an RN or LPN.

Places that count:

- Nursing homes

- Hospitals

- Skilled home health agencies (Medicare-certified)

- Assisted living with licensed nurses on staff

Places that do NOT count:

- Non-medical home care agencies (supervisor was a care coordinator or office manager)

- Private caregiving for family or friends

- Any job where your supervisor was not a licensed nurse

Ohio requires Home Health Aides to have training OR supervised experience under a licensed nurse. We don't make this rule - the state does.

Steps:

1. Apply - include your former employer's name, phone number, your RN or LPN supervisor's name and title, and the dates you worked there

2. We call your old employer to verify your experience AND confirm your supervisor was an RN or LPN

3. Once verified, we schedule your phone talk (20 minutes)

4. Short online questionnaire

5. Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you)

6. Sign your paperwork online

7. Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes)

8. Fingerprinting

We verify first so we don't waste your time on a phone interview if we can't confirm your experience.

Not sure if your experience counts? Text us at View phone number on click.appcast.io and we'll figure it out together.

FREE TRAINING PATH (1-2 weeks)

$16/hour. No experience needed. We teach you everything with a free 32-hour online course you do from home.

Steps:

1. Apply

2. Phone talk (20 minutes)

3. Short online questionnaire

ABOUT THE TEST

Ohio law says all Home Health Aides must pass a competency test. Two parts: written questions and skills you demonstrate. 80% on both. Both parts are in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office - we schedule a time with you.

Passed an HHA test somewhere else with 80% or higher? Show us your results. You skip it.

STNAs skip the test entirely. Your license - active or expired - proves you passed.

WHAT YOU'LL DO EVERY DAY

Go to people's homes and help with daily life. Mostly older adults. Baths, getting dressed, meals, light cleaning, errands, companionship. This is physical work - you help people move around and you're on your feet most of the day. If you need help doing these tasks, tell us. We can talk about what might work.

You do NOT give medicine or do medical tasks. That's for nurses.

Akron, Barberton, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls, Hartville, Hudson, Kent, New Franklin, Norton, Rootstown, Silver Lake, Stow, Tallmadge, Uniontown.

How raises work:

At each review, you fill out an evaluation form. You grade yourself first on 14 items. Then you sign it. Then we grade you on the same items.

Get all 1s (highest rating) on every item and the raise is yours. What we look at:

SHOWING UP:

- Be on time

- Clock in and out (app or phone)

- Follow call-off steps if you can't make a shift

CLIENT CARE:

- Follow policies

- Accept clients that match the limits YOU gave us

- Report incidents within 24 hours

- Get good feedback from clients

STAYING IN TOUCH:

- Answer office calls and texts quickly

- Send updated documents when we ask (insurance, license, training)

- Complete feedback forms when sent

Meet the standard? The raise is automatic. We don't hold it back from good Home Health Aides.

BONUSES

$100 after 30 days with perfect attendance - every shift on time, zero call-offs.

$300 when you refer a Home Health Aide who stays - $100 at 60 hours worked, $200 more at 200 hours.

$75-$1,500 when you refer a private pay client, based on their hours.

You can refer anyone - parents, grandparents, neighbors. Same bonuses apply.

HOW WE MATCH YOU WITH CLIENTS

You tell us your limits during your phone interview: pets, smoking, travel distance, days and times. We only send you to clients that fit what YOU told us. Period.

Here's the tradeoff: The more open you are, the faster you start. The more strict, the longer you wait.

We might have 5 clients available today. If none match your limits, for you there are zero. This is your timeline to control.

What could happen:

- Open to most things Could start with 20-40 hours right away

- Strict limits May wait 1-2 weeks for a matching client

- Open but no matches today You're first in line for the next one

First 2 weeks, we gauge reliability with fill-in shifts. But if permanent clients match you right away, we assign them right away.

After that, you have your regular clients - same people every week. Most Home Health Aides have 2-4 regulars. Want more hours? Pick up extra fill-ins anytime.

DOCUMENT VERIFICATION

Federal law requires us to verify your identity and work authorization. During your orientation video call, you'll show your original documents on camera. You choose which documents to bring - we'll send you the full list.

Driver's license

Your own car with insurance that covers work driving

Pass background checks

Work at least 20 hours/week
