We don't make this rule the state does.

IMPORTANT HOW WE VERIFY YOUR EXPERIENCE

Ohio law requires us to verify your experience by calling your former employer directly. They confirm your dates, that you worked there 1+ year, and that your supervisor was an RN or LPN. This will NOT work if: - Your former employer uses The Work Number or another third-party verification service (those services only confirm basic dates they don't confirm RN/LPN supervision, which is what Ohio requires) - The company has closed and no longer has records of your employment - They can't or won't verify the details we need If your old employer uses The Work Number, we cannot use this path for you. You may need the HHA CERTIFICATE PATH or FREE TRAINING PATH instead. Not sure how your old employer verifies employment? Call their HR department before you apply, or text us at View phone number on click.appcast.io and we'll help you figure it out. 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 4. Complete free 32-hour online HHA training (at home, 6 days to finish, NOT paid) 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 Don't finish training in 6 days? We close your application. If something comes up, text us right away.

CAN'T VERIFY YOUR EXPERIENCE? CERTIFICATE DOESN'T QUALIFY?

Maybe the company you worked for closed. Maybe there's no one left to call, or they only use a service like The Work Number. That's okay. You're not turned away. You can still join by taking our free online training to qualify. And because you already have a care background, your pay stays based on your interview ($16-18/hour), not the brand-new rate. Only people with no experience at all start at $16.

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. One thing we ask: our nurse drives to the office just for your test nothing else. If you can't make it, text View phone number on click.appcast.io BEFORE your test time. We'll reschedule you, no problem. But if you just don't show up, our nurse waited for nothing. We take that seriously. 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.

BEFORE YOU APPLY IS THIS WORK FOR YOU?

Home care isn't just a job. It's a calling. This work is for people who actually CARE about the elderly community. Not people just chasing a paycheck. Our clients are vulnerable many can't get through the day without help. They depend on you showing up. We've seen people quit after one shift. We've seen people quit after 1-2 weeks because the travel between clients was too much, or the work itself wasn't cut out for them. That hurts us but it hurts the client more. A vulnerable person who needed help suddenly doesn't have it. They can't just "figure it out." So think hard before you apply. If you start working with a client and then quit or have attendance problems, that client struggles to get through their day. This line of work is hard. But for the right person someone with empathy, someone whose heart is in this it's deeply rewarding.
