Home Health Aide - Start This Week - We Train Free

Haven Home Care | Now Hiring in Stark + 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.

WHERE THE WORK IS

STARK COUNTY: Alliance, Brewster, Canton, Dalton, Massillon, Navarre, North Canton, Paris

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

Here's what you need to know: Most of our clients are in Summit County (Akron area). We're growing in Stark County but have fewer clients there right now.

What this means for you:

- Open to BOTH counties = Faster start, more hours available

- Stark County only = Longer wait for your first client

We'll ask your preference in the application. We match based on how far you'll travel, not just county lines.

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.

WHAT YOU'LL EARN

STNA: $18/hour

HHA certificate or experience: $16-18/hour based on interview

Free training: $16/hour

Private pay client you referred:

- HHA: $19/hour

- STNA: $20/hour

10% extra on holidays.

Paid every 2 weeks. Direct deposit. W-2 job.

Drive time between clients is paid. Drive time to your first or from your last client is not.

Start higher because of experience? Your raises stack on top.

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.

Your own car with insurance that covers work driving
