THE JOB

You help people in their homes as a Home Health Aide. Mostly older adults. Baths, getting dressed, meals, light cleaning, errands, companionship. This is physical work — you help people move around and stand 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. Thats for nurses.

1-year review: +$0.50/hour more

2-year review: +$1.00/hour more

Thats $2.00/hour more if you hit all three.

Miss one? It carries over to your next review. You can still earn it.

What this could look like:

HHA starting at $16/hour:

→ After 90-day review: $16.50

→ After 1-year review: $17.00

→ After 2-year review: $18.00

STNA starting at $18/hour:

→ After 2-year review: $20.00

If you start higher because of experience, your increases stack on top.

How raises work:

At your 90-day, 1-year, and 2-year reviews, 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.

If you get all 1s (highest rating) on every item, you get the raise. No tricks — just do these things well:

SHOWING UP:

• Be on time
• Clock in and out (app or phone)
• Follow call-off steps if you cant 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
  
  
  

Do these things? The raise is automatic. We dont hold it back from good Home Health Aides.

BONUSES

$100 after 30 days with perfect attendance (all shifts on time, no call-offs)

$300 when you refer a Home Health Aide who stays — $100 when they work 60 hours, $200 more when they work 200 hours

$75-$1,500 when you refer a private pay client (depends on their hours)

You can refer family members — parents, grandparents, anyone. Same bonuses apply.

FOUR WAYS TO QUALIFY AS AN HHA

Way 1: You have an STNA license (fastest)

Starting pay: $18/hour

What you need: STNA license in Ohio — active or expired.

Timeline: 1-3 days if you move fast.

Why faster: You already passed the state test. Thats what your license means. Other Home Health Aides take a written and skills test with us. You dont.

Steps:

• Apply with your STNA license number
• Phone talk (20 minutes)
• Short online questionnaire
• Sign your paperwork online
• Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes)
• Fingerprinting
  
  
  

Way 2: You have an HHA certificate

Starting pay: $16-18/hour based on interview

What you need: HHA certificate, 30+ hours, signed by RN (unless completed online).

Timeline: 5-8 days to working.

Steps:

• Apply and send your certificate
• Phone talk (20 minutes)
• Short online questionnaire
• Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you)
• Sign your paperwork online
• Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes)
• Fingerprinting
  
  
  

Way 3: You worked under an RN or LPN as a Home Health Aide or Nurse Aide (no certificate needed)

Starting pay: $16-18/hour based on interview

What you need: 1+ year at one company where your supervisor was an RN or LPN.

Timeline: 5-8 days after we verify your experience.

This means you worked at places like:

• Nursing homes
• Hospitals
• Skilled home health agencies (Medicare-certified)
• Assisted living with licensed nurses on staff
  
  
  

This does NOT qualify:

• Non-medical home care agencies (supervisor was a care coordinator or office manager)
• Private caregiving for family or friends
• Experience without a licensed nurse supervisor
  
  
  

Why the rule: Ohio requires HHAs to have training OR supervised experience under a licensed nurse. We dont make this rule — the state does.

Steps:

• Apply — include that companys name, phone number, your RN or LPN supervisors name and title, and dates you worked there
• We call your old employer to verify your experience AND that your supervisor was an RN or LPN
• Once verified, we schedule your phone talk (20 minutes)
• Short online questionnaire
• Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you)
• Sign your paperwork online
• Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes)
• Fingerprinting
  
  
  

Why we verify first: We dont want to waste your time on a phone interview if we cant confirm your experience. This protects both of us.

Not sure if your experience qualifies? Text us at (330) 400-3423 and well help you figure it out.

Way 4: Youre new to Home Health Aide work

Starting pay: $16/hour

What you need: Willingness to help people. We teach everything else.

Timeline: 1-2 weeks to working.

Steps:

• Apply
• Phone talk (20 minutes)
• Short online questionnaire
• Complete free 32-hour online HHA training (at home, 6 days to finish, NOT paid)
• Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you)
• Sign your paperwork online
• Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes)
• Fingerprinting
  
  
  

If you dont finish training in 6 days, we close your application. If something comes up, text us right away.

About The Hha Test

Ohio requires all Home Health Aides to pass a competency test. This isnt our rule — its the states rule. The test has two parts: Written questions. Skills you show. You need 80% on both parts. You take both parts in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office — well schedule a time with you.

Already passed an HHA test somewhere else? Show us your results. If you got 80% or higher, you skip the test.

STNAs skip the test entirely — your license (active or expired) proves you passed.

About Document Verification

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

What You Need

Drivers 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

How Client Matching Works

You tell us your limits during your phone interview: pets, smoking, travel distance, days and times. We only assign clients that match YOUR limits. Period.

The tradeoff: The more flexible you are, the faster you start. The more restrictive, the longer you wait.

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

Three scenarios:

• Youre open to most things → Could start with 20-40 hours immediately
• You have strict limits → May wait 1-2 weeks for a matching client
• Youre open but we have no matches today → Youre first in line for the next one
  
  
  

During your 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. You can still pick up extra fill-ins if you want more hours.

What We Dont Have

No PTO — time off is unpaid, give us 1 month notice

No 401k

No health insurance

What Can Grow

Your pay — through the tier system based on performance

Your client relationships — same people every week

Your earnings — through bonuses and referrals

One Home Health Aide has been here 18 years. If you want to change your limits later, just let us know.
