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 — we'll 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 VerificationFederal 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.What You NeedDriver's licenseYour own car with insurance that covers work drivingPass background checksWork at least 20 hours/weekAvailable between 6AM-8PM (most work is 8AM-5PM)Legal right to work in the USMust be at least 18 years oldHow Client Matching WorksYou 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: You're open to most things → Could start with 20-40 hours immediately You have strict limits → May wait 1-2 weeks for a matching client You're open but we have no matches today → You're first in line for the next oneDuring 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 Don't HaveNo PTO — time off is unpaid, give us 1 month noticeNo 401kNo health insuranceWhat Can GrowYour pay — through the tier system based on performanceYour client relationships — same people every weekYour earnings — through bonuses and referralsOne Home Health Aide has been here 18 years. If you want to change your limits later, just let us know.NEXT STEPText (330) 400-3423 or apply here.Check your spam folder — our emails sometimes land there.Don't call. We might not answer.
