Safe Compassionate Care Begins Here
Solve Your Caregiver Crisis
Quality Home Health Aides are hard to find. Savvy agency owners understand that an internal training program is vital.
Back in 2017 we set out to solve the caregiver crisis by creating a unique online, CMS compliant, training program that makes it simple for agencies to train home health aides by allowing trainees to learn at their own pace – anywhere they have access to the internet – while reducing the time your nursing staff needs to spend on in-person training from two weeks to two days.
Partnering with The Home Health Training Center keeps your RNs in the field while your aide trainees complete their classroom training.
Eliminate Your Training Frustrations
If you do your own in-person aide training, you know the frustration of wasted time and money spent planning – and staffing – a 75-hour aide training class only to have your trainees (or trainer) miss all or part of the sessions. Missed sessions lead to more planning and schedule juggling, staff back-filling, and one-off training sessions to get in the required hours off training. Scheduling conflicts, back-filling visits to free up your RN for training, rearranging the office to make classroom space, and the inevitable hand-holding some trainees need, all add to the frustration of in-person home health aide training.
Control Your Training Budget
What’s more, all of that schedule juggling and re-staffing is expensive and leads to loss in job satisfaction for your nurses and interrupted caregiver continuity or missed visits for your clients.
What if you could eliminate the frustration AND get your aide training budget under control?
Think about how much you’re spending on your RN’s wages to teach just one aide training class. 75-hours in RN wages for non-billable work isn’t easy on the bottom line! If you’re like most agencies, the RN you use for aide training is a field RN paid to perform billable visits for you. How much does back-filling those visits cost your agency? How about hidden cost; Is inconsistent staffing costing your agency clients and referrals? If your RN is only teaching one or two aides in each class, your return on that training investment is very low (we did the math, at the average RN wage, you need a class size of at least ten trainees to justify the costs). And, even after spending all of that money, those trainees may not turn out to be the safe, compassionate, caregivers you hoped they would become. When that happens, you’re left with the daunting task of gathering up another class of hopefuls and throwing more cash out of the window.
With our competency guarantee, your training budget is in your control.
Better Aide Training = Better Client Outcomes
Let’s face it. Your RN staff joined your team to provide patient care. As nurses, training is a part of their nature. They do it every day for their clients. But, being a nurse educator and holding classroom sessions isn’t the same as training a client or client’s family. Most staff RNs fall somewhere on the spectrum from disliking the task of staff training to downright hating it. Often, this leads to classroom training that is relegated to not much more than a RN presenting PowerPoint slides or sitting through a pre-recorded video lecture with your trainees. I bet you can remember a time when you sat through a boring mandatory training. Why put your aid trainees in that situation – or, for that matter, your RNs? We have the solution to free your RNs from an unwanted task while elevating your trainees’ classroom experience.
Aide training is best accomplished by RNs who specialize in education and love teaching.
Our training program is built on the backbone of a peer reviewed, RN developed, textbook from Hartman Publishers that is currently in its 6th edition. The textbook was converted to an web-based course by our founder; a RN who loves teaching and holds a Masters’ Degree in Nursing Education.
Our program offers engaging content designed to be accessible and fun while promoting higher retention and improved real-world application by the learner. Goodbye, boring mandatory training!
