RAISES ARE BUILT IN 3 raises in your first 2 years: 90-day review: +$0.50/hour 1-year review: +$0.50/hour more 2-year review: +$1.00/hour more That adds up to $2.00/hour more if you hit all three. Miss one? It carries over to your next review.
You can still earn it. What $16/hour could become: → 90 days: $16.50 → 1 year: $17.00 → 2 years: $18.00 What $18/hour could become: → 90 days: $18.50 → 1 year: $19.00 → 2 years: $20.00 Start higher because of experience? Your increases stack on top.
How you earn raises: At your 90-day, 1-year, and 2-year reviews, you fill out an evaluation form. You grade yourself on 14 items first. Then you sign it.
Then we grade you on the same items. Score all 1s (highest) on every item and the raise is yours. Here's 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 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 don't hold it back from good caregivers. EARN EXTRA $100 after 30 days with perfect attendance — every shift on time, zero call-offs.
$300 when you refer a caregiver who stays — $100 when they hit 60 hours, $200 more at 200 hours. $75-$1,500 when you refer a private pay client, based on their hours. Refer anyone — parents, grandparents, neighbors.
Same bonuses apply. WHERE THE WORK IS STARK COUNTY: Alliance, Brewster, Canton, Dalton, Massillon, Navarre, North Canton, Paris SUMMIT COUNTY: Akron, Barberton, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls, Hartville, Hudson, Kent, New Franklin, Norton, Rootstown, Silver Lake, Stow, Tallmadge, Uniontown Here's what you need to know: Most of our clients are in Summit County (Akron area). We're growing in Stark County but have fewer clients there right now.
What this means for you: • Open to BOTH counties = Faster start, more hours available • Stark County only = Longer wait for your first client We'll ask your preference in the application. We match based on how far you'll travel, not just county lines. How To Qualify Pick the path that fits you.
All four lead to the same job. Path 1: STNA License (fastest start) Pay: $18/hour Need: STNA license in Ohio — active or expired. How long: 1-3 days if you move fast.
Your STNA means you already passed the state test. You skip our written and skills test entirely. Here's how it works: • 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 Path 2: HHA Certificate Pay: $16-18/hour based on interview Need: HHA certificate, 30+ hours, signed by RN (unless completed online).
How long: 5-8 days to working. Here's how it works: • 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 Path 3: Experience Under a Licensed Nurse (no certificate needed) Pay: $16-18/hour based on interview Need: 1+ year at one company where your supervisor was an RN or LPN. How long: 5-8 days after we verify your experience.
Where this kind of experience comes from: • Nursing homes • Hospitals • Skilled home health agencies (Medicare-certified) • Assisted living with licensed nurses on staff This does NOT count: • Non-medical home care agencies (supervisor was a care coordinator or office manager) • Private caregiving for family or friends • Any job where your supervisor was not a licensed nurse Ohio requires Home Health Aides to have training OR supervised experience under a licensed nurse. We don't make this rule — the state does. Here's how it works: • Apply — include your former employer's name, phone number, your RN or LPN supervisor's name and title, and the dates you worked there • We call your old employer to verify your experience AND confirm 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 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 (330) 400-3423 and we'll help you figure it out. Path 4: No Experience (we train you free) Pay: $16/hour Need: Just a willingness to help people.
We teach everything else. How long: 1-2 weeks to working. Here's how it works: • 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 Don't finish training in 6 days?
We close your application. If something comes up, text us right away. THE HHA TEST Ohio requires all Home Health Aides to pass a competency test — not our rule, the state's.
Two parts: written questions and skills you demonstrate. You need 80% on both. Both parts happen in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office.
We schedule a time that works for you. Already passed an HHA test at another job? Show us your results.
80% or higher means you skip it. STNAs skip the test entirely. Your license — active or expired — proves you passed.
What The Job Looks Like You go to people's homes and help them 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. YOUR CLIENTS MATCH YOUR LIMITS During your phone interview, you tell us your limits: pets, smoking, travel distance, days and times.
We only assign clients that fit what YOU said. Period. The tradeoff: The more open you are, the faster you start.
The more strict, the longer you wait. We might have 5 clients today. But if none match your limits, for you there are zero.
You control this timeline. Three situations that could happen: • Open to most things → Could start with 20-40 hours right away • Strict limits → May wait 1-2 weeks for a matching client • Open but no matches today → You're first in line for the next one 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 caregivers have 2-4 regulars. Want more hours?
Pick up extra fill-ins anytime. 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. What You Need 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 What We Don't Offer No PTO — time off is unpaid, give us 1 month notice No 401k No health insurance What Grows With You Your pay — through the raise system based on performance Your client relationships — same people every week Your earnings — through bonuses and referrals One caregiver has been here 18 years. Want to change your limits later?
