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.

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. 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.

Your raises stack on top. How raises work: At each review, you fill out an evaluation form. You grade yourself first on 11 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 - Don't be the reason a client leaves Haven. Most common reasons: frequent call-offs, no-call/no-shows. If a client leaves us because of you, it impacts your raise. 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. THE GUARANTEE: If you can travel anywhere we have clients AND work with any client - you WILL start working. Quickly. We always have clients somewhere. And if there's no immediate match in your area, you're first in line when one opens up. THE REALITY: If you have travel limits or preferences - specific cities, certain days/times, no pets, no smoking - we respect them 100%. But your client availability WILL be smaller. That's not a "maybe," that's math. Example: We have 5 clients open today, but all 5 are in Akron. If you only want Stow clients, you WILL wait until a Stow client opens up. Same for any limit you set. 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. ABOUT SHIFT LENGTHS Shifts can be as short as 2-3 hours per visit. Some are 4-6 hours. Some are 8 hours. It depends on what the client needs. If a client needs help with a morning bath and breakfast, that's a 2-hour shift. To get to your 20+ hours/week, you'll usually have several clients across different days. Don't expect every shift to be a 6-8 hour block with one client. Most aren't. WHAT "FLEXIBLE" MEANS HERE "Flexible" means the days and times you told us you can work. "Flexible" does NOT mean calling off whenever you want or skipping shifts you don't feel like doing. Our clients are older adults who depend on you showing up. If you commit to Monday-Friday afternoons during your phone interview, we expect Monday-Friday afternoons. Attendance is one of the biggest things we look at - it's part of the raise criteria. If your life changes and you need different hours, tell us. We can work with you. What we can't work with is no-shows and last-minute call-offs. 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. REQUIREMENTS Driver's license Your own car with insurance that covers work driving Pass background checks Work at least 20 hours/week Available between 6AM-8PM (most work is 8AM-5PM) Legal right to work in the US Must be at least 18 years old LET'S BE HONEST No PTO - time off is unpaid, give us 1 month notice No 401k No health insurance WHAT YOU DO GET Your pay grows - through the raise system based on performance Real relationships - same clients every week More ways to earn - through bonuses and referrals One Home Health Aide has been here 18 years.
