Training for home health & hospice teams, built by a nurse.
Your aides and clinicians work alone, in other people’s homes, with no charge nurse down the hall. Training has to be short, phone-friendly, and built on your agency’s own policies. That is exactly what we build.

The training problems we solve here.
12 hours, every 12 months
Aide in-service hours come due every year, and finding fresh, relevant content is a constant chore.
Staff work alone in the field
There’s no one to ask mid-visit, so the decision has to be practiced before the visit.
Turnover resets everything
New aides need the same core content in week one, every time.
Surveyors ask about your policy
Survey questions are about what your staff do under your policy, not what a generic course says.
Where teams usually start.
- Home health aide in-service hours
- Observing and reporting changes in condition
- Infection prevention and PPE in the home
- Fall prevention and safe transfers
- End-of-life conversations with families
Home health aide in-service: Under 42 CFR 484.80(d), home health aides must complete at least 12 hours of in-service training every 12 months, supervised by a registered nurse. In-service training may be offered by any organization. TPM modules can support that requirement. They don’t guarantee compliance: your agency provides the RN supervision, keeps the documentation, and remains responsible for meeting the requirement. Hands-on skills still need in-person competency evaluation.
Recommended service lines
Every module includes
- AI presenter video with captions (disclosed)
- Scored decisions with explained feedback
- Supervisor sign-off checklist
- Printable completion record
- Web link + MP4 files you own
An aide in-service year, planned in advance.
A sample 12-month calendar built from our Course Blueprints. Your RN supervisor decides the topics, how training time is counted, and which skills need in-person evaluation.
| Quarter | Modules (examples) | Supervisor follow-through |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | Infection Prevention: Hand Hygiene & PPE · Emergency Preparedness for Home-Based Care · Patient Rights & Grievances | PPE donning and doffing observed on a supervisory visit |
| Q2 | Fall Prevention in the Home · Safe Transfers & Body Mechanics · Observation & Reporting Changes | Transfer skill checked in person; reporting scenario reviewed |
| Q3 | Skin Integrity & Pressure Injury Awareness · Sepsis Early Recognition (Home Setting) · Dementia Communication Essentials | Skin-check and escalation behaviors on the sign-off checklist |
| Q4 | Recognizing & Reporting Abuse, Neglect & Exploitation · Hospice: End-of-Life Conversations with Families · refresh of a Q1 topic | Completion log reviewed; gaps scheduled for the new year |
Regulatory context, not a guarantee: Under 42 CFR 484.80(d), home health aides must complete at least 12 hours of in-service training every 12 months, supervised by a registered nurse. Hospice aides have a similar annual in-service requirement under 42 CFR 418.76. TPM modules are designed to support these programs. Your agency provides the RN supervision, keeps the documentation, decides how time is counted, and remains responsible for meeting the requirements. Hands-on skills still need in-person competency evaluation.

Built by someone who has staffed the visit.
Rob Sieck, RN, BSN, MHA, ran a nurse staffing company that placed RNs, LVNs, and CNAs in home health agencies, and has led hospital case management departments that hand patients off to home health and hospice. Every scenario is written by a nurse and checked against your policy, not a generic library.

Home Health & Hospice: common questions.
Do your modules count toward aide in-service hours?
They can support the requirement. Your agency decides how training time is counted, provides the RN supervision, keeps the documentation, and remains responsible for meeting 42 CFR 484.80 (home health) or 42 CFR 418.76 (hospice).
Can aides complete modules on their phones?
Yes. Modules are mobile-friendly web links with captioned video, so they work between visits without an LMS.
Do you cover hands-on skills?
We teach the decisions and the steps, and every module ships with a supervisor checklist. Hands-on skills still need in-person competency evaluation by your qualified staff.
Can content be in Spanish?
Yes, as an add-on (+$750 per module per language), always checked by a human bilingual reviewer.
Do you need patient information?
No. We never need or accept PHI. Scenarios use fictional patients and clients.
We build for these settings too.
