We don't make this rule — the state does.IMPORTANT — HOW WE VERIFY YOUR EXPERIENCEOhio 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 needIf your old employer uses The Work Number, we cannot use this pathway for you. You may need GOT AN HHA CERTIFICATE or NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL pathways 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.What you do:1. Apply — include your former employer's name, phone number, your RN or LPN supervisor's name and title, and the dates you worked there2.

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.THE STATE TESTOhio law says all Home Health Aides must pass a competency test. Two parts: written questions and skills you demonstrate. 80% on both parts. Both happen in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office — we find a time that works for you.Passed this test at another company? Show us results with 80% or higher and you skip it.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.STNAs skip the test entirely. Your license — active or expired — is all you need.WHAT HOME HEALTH AIDES DOYou visit people in their homes and help with everyday tasks. Mostly older adults. Baths, getting dressed, making meals, light cleaning, running errands, keeping them company. This is physical work — you help people move around and you're standing 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 handle medical tasks. Nurses do that.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.
