Home Health Aide - Helping Ohio Families Since 1998

Haven Home Care has been serving Ohio since 1998. One of our Home Health Aides has been with us 18 years. We're a small local company, and we take care of the people who take care of our clients.

 

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, or after 1-2 weeks. That hurts us, but it hurts the client more. So think hard before you apply. For the right person — someone with empathy, someone whose heart is in this — it's deeply rewarding.

 

You help people in their homes. Mostly older adults. Baths, getting dressed, meals, light cleaning, errands, companionship. This is physical work. 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.

1. STNA (active or expired): $18/hour, 1-3 days, skip our test.

2. HHA certificate (30+ hours, RN-signed unless done online): $16-18/hour, 5-8 days.

3. Experience — 1+ year at one company under an RN or LPN: $16-18/hour, 5-8 days after we verify.

4. No experience — free 32-hour training (6 days, not paid): $16/hour, 1-2 weeks.

 

 

Maybe the company you worked for closed. 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.

 

Every path: phone talk (20 min) → short online questionnaire → test if needed → sign paperwork online → online orientation + document check (30-40 min) → fingerprinting.

 

Ohio requires a written and skills test for HHAs — 80% on both parts. You take it in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office. We schedule the time with you.

 

One thing we ask: our nurse drives to the office just for your test — nothing else. If you can't make it, text (330) 400-3423 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 — your license proves you passed. Already passed an HHA test with 80% or higher somewhere else? Show us your results and you skip it too.

 

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 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 da
