Home health aide in-service training your aides actually finish.
Twelve hours a year goes quickly when the content is generic. We turn your own policies into short, nurse-written in-service modules your aides can finish between visits, with realistic decisions, a supervisor sign-off checklist and a completion record.
We reply within one business day.
Each home health aide must receive at least 12 hours of in-service training during each 12-month period. In-service training may occur while an aide is furnishing care, may be offered by any organization, and must be supervised by a registered nurse. The agency must maintain documentation showing the standard has been met (42 CFR 484.80(d)).

Our modules are designed to support these requirements. Your organization provides the supervision, keeps the records, and remains responsible for meeting them.
Why the 12 hours often don’t change practice.
In my experience, most agencies aren’t short on in-service hours. They’re short on in-services that change what happens in the home. The same slide deck comes back every year, aides sign the attendance sheet, and the clinical manager still hears about the change in condition nobody reported.
What helps is practice with realistic moments, taught in your agency’s own words. When an aide rehearses what to do when a patient says she felt dizzy this morning but is fine now, and hears why the answer matters, she reports more confidently in the field.

A 5 to 15 minute in-service module, from your policy
- A short presenter-led opening that explains why the topic matters on a home visit
- Three to five teaching points pulled straight from your policy
- Two or three realistic decisions with explained feedback
- A quick knowledge check and a printable completion record
- Popular topics: observation and reporting, infection control, falls, skin, transfer awareness, emergencies
- Supervisor sign-off checklist for skills your RN observes in person
- Built to fit alongside the course library you already use
Built around RN supervision and your documentation.
Turning your policies into short modules
You send one policy, de-identified and with no patient information. We pull out the observable behaviors, write the script as a nurse, and build a module your aides can finish on a phone.
Popular in-service topics
Observation and reporting a change in condition, infection control in the home, fall hazards, early skin changes, transfer awareness, and recognizing emergencies. See the topic menu in our free checklist.
How RN supervision fits
The standard calls for in-service training supervised by a registered nurse. Your RN reviews the content, supervises the in-service, and uses the sign-off checklist for anything observed in person.
How documentation fits
Every module comes with a completion record showing the staff member, date, module version and score, so your records are easier to keep together.
Play a sample module in about a minute.
Stop and Watch is a sample home health aide in-service on reporting a change in condition. An aide notices Mrs. Lopez (fictional) isn’t herself today, and learners decide what to notice, when to call the nurse, and when to call 911.
- Presenter-led video with captions
- 2 to 3 scored decisions
- Supervisor sign-off checklist
- Completion record
- Web link + MP4 you own
- SCORM and Spanish options
SCORM packaging and Spanish versions are scoped add-ons. AI presenters are always disclosed.
Questions about aide in-service modules.
Can modules count toward the 12 hours?
Your agency decides how in-service hours are counted, and your RN supervises the training. Our modules are designed to support that program, not to replace your judgment about it.
Do you replace our competency evaluation?
No. Skills that must be observed are evaluated in person by your qualified staff. We provide a supervisor sign-off checklist to support that observation.
Do we need an LMS?
No. Each module is delivered as a web link and an MP4, so it works without an LMS. SCORM packaging is available as an add-on if you use one.
Can we get Spanish versions?
Yes, Spanish versions are available as a scoped add-on. Tell us at kickoff so we can plan the script and review.
How long does a module take?
Most in-service modules run 5 to 15 minutes for the learner. A single pilot module is delivered in 10 business days once we have your complete source materials.
