Haven Home Care | Caregivers Wanted in Summit County, Ohio
MOST AGENCIES GIVE YOU A STARTING RATE AND THAT'S IT
We don't work that way. You get 3 scheduled raises in your first 2 years — built into your reviews, not something you have to beg for.
90-day review: +$0.50/hour
1-year review: +$0.50/hour more
2-year review: +$1.00/hour more
Total: $2.00/hour more if you hit all three.
Miss one? It carries over to your next review. You can still earn it.
Here's what that looks like:
Starting at $16/hour:
→ 90 days: $16.50 → 1 year: $17.00 → 2 years: $18.00
Starting at $18/hour:
→ 90 days: $18.50 → 1 year: $19.00 → 2 years: $20.00
Come in higher because of experience? Your raises stack on top.
How You Get Each RaiseAt your 90-day, 1-year, and 2-year reviews, you fill out an evaluation form. You grade yourself first on 11 items. Then you sign it. Then we grade you on the same items.
All 1s (highest rating) across the board? The raise is yours. What we measure:
SHOWING UP- Be on time
- Clock in and out (app or phone)
- Follow call-off steps if you can't make a shift
- Follow policies
- Accept clients that match the limits YOU gave us
- Report incidents within 24 hours
- Get good feedback from clients
- Don't be the reason a client leaves Haven. Most common reasons: frequent call-offs, no-call/no-shows. If a client leaves us because of you, it impacts your raise.
- Answer office calls and texts quickly
- Send updated documents when we ask (insurance, license, training)
- Complete feedback forms when sent
Do those things well? The raise is automatic. We don't hold it back from good Home Health Aides.
MORE WAYS TO EARN$100 after 30 days with perfect attendance — every shift on time, zero call-offs.
$300 when you refer a caregiver who stays — $100 at 60 hours worked, $200 more at 200 hours.
$75-$1,500 when you refer a private pay client, depending on their hours.
You can refer anyone — friends, family, even your own grandparents — to work here or as a private pay client. The bonuses above apply.
STARTING PAYYour starting rate depends on how you qualify:
- STNA license (active or expired): $18/hour
- HHA certificate or experience: $16-18/hour based on interview
- Free training pathway: $16/hour
If you refer a private pay client and care for them yourself:
- HHA: $19/hour
- STNA: $20/hour
10% extra on holidays.
Paid every 2 weeks. Direct deposit. W-2 job.
Drive time between clients is paid. To your first client or from your last is not.
What The Work IsYou 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.
BEFORE YOU APPLY — IS THIS WORK FOR YOU?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. We've seen people quit after 1-2 weeks because the travel between clients was too much, or the work itself wasn't cut out for them. That hurts us — but it hurts the client more. A vulnerable person who needed help suddenly doesn't have it. They can't just "figure it out."
So think hard before you apply. If you start working with a client and then quit or have attendance problems, that client struggles to get through their day.
This line of work is hard. But for the right person — someone with empathy, someone whose heart is in this — it's deeply rewarding.
