Haven Home Care | Now Hiring in Summit County, Ohio
HOW FAST CAN YOU START?
It depends on your background. Pick the one that fits you:

Have an HHA certificate (30 hours)? → 5-8 days
Worked 1 year under an RN or LPN? → 5-8 days after we verify
Brand new to caregiving? → 1-2 weeks (we train you free)
All four paths lead to the same job. Same clients. Same support. Just different starting points.

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.
